Poetry examples for “and”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

My love rose up so early
And stole out unbeknown
And went to church alone.

The shires have seen it plain,
From north and south the sign returns
And beacons burn again.

Wuen I watch the living meet,
And the moving pageant file
Warm and breathing through the street

From height to height ’tis heard;
And with the rest your voices ring,
Lads of the Fifty-third.

‘Lie down, lie down, young yeoman;
What use to rise and rise?
Rise man a thousand mornings

Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.

‘Oh, peal upon our wedding,
And we will hear the chime,
And come to church in time.’

And you till trump of doomsday
On lands of morn may lie,

“And here’s a bloody hand to shake,
And oh, man, here’s good-bye;

The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.
