Poetry examples for “wonders”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

Repairs her smiles, awakens ev'ry grace,
And calls forth all the wonders of her face;
Sees by degrees a purer blush arise,

The very tombs now vanish'd, like their dead!
Imperial wonders raised on nations spoil'd
Where mix'd with slaves the groaning martyr toil'd:

The very tombs now vanished like their dead!
Imperial wonders raised on nations spoiled,
Where mixed with slaves the groaning martyr toiled:

Repairs her smiles, awakens every grace,
And calls forth all the wonders of her face;
Sees by degrees a purer blush arise,

branches that glittered and swayed
Such wonders and glories of blossomlike snow or of frost that
outlightens all flowers till it fade

But most the hewel's ' wonders are,
Who here has the hohfeleter's" care;

_Jack._ But 'a dances wonders well,
And with his dances stole her love from me:

Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time’s unerring hand,

To the avenging angel to consume
The white man’s world of wonders utterly:
Let it be swallowed up in earth’s vast womb,

Not quite the thing for every day.
Wonders are wearying! Felix goes
Next Sunday with her to the Close,
