Poetry examples for “these”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

And I shall ne'er be lonely
Asleep with these or those.

We neither knew, when we were young,
These Londoners we live among."

"This tongue that talks, these lungs that shout,
These thews that hustle us about,

Keep we must, if keep we can,
These foreign laws of God and man.

No such helpmates, only men;
And these are not in plight to bear,
If they would, another's care.

These are the thoughts I often think
As I stand gazing down

Was talking to itself alone.
"Oh who are these that kiss and pass?
A country lover and his lass;

-Oh, you should live for ever
If there were help in these.

These, in the day when heaven was falling,
The hour when earth's foundations fled,

'Was it for this, that I these roses wear?
For this, new-set the jewels for my hair?
