    “Merrily swinging on brier and weed,
    Near to the nest of his litle dame,
    Over the mountainside or mead,
    Robert of Lincoln is telling his name:
    Bob-o’-link, bob-o’-link,”
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    “‘O glorious Life, Who dwellest in earth and sun,
    I have lived, I praise and adore Thee.”
    A sword swept.
    Over the pass the voices one by one
    Faded, and the hill slept.”
    —Sir Henry Newbolt (1862–1938)

    “Now they express
    All that’s content to wear a worn-out coat,
    All actions done in patient hopelessness,
    All that ignores the silences of death,
    Thinking no further than the hand can hold,
    All that grows old,
    Yet works on uselessly with shortened breath.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
