Love's Philosophy
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;

Come into the Garden, Maud
by Alfred Tennyson
Come into the garden, Maud,
For the black bat, night, has flown,
Come into the garden, Maud,
I am here at the gate alone;
And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad,
- Song
O lady, when the tipped cup of the moon blessed you
You became soft fire with a cloud's grace;
The difficult stars swam for eyes in your face;
You stood, and your shadow was my place:
You turned, your shadow turned to ice O my lady.
O lady, when the sea caressed you
You were a marble of foam, but dumb.
When will the stone open its tomb?

Wormwood Scrubs, Alan M Lang
I lived a year in London, but I never saw Saint Paul’s,
All famous stunts left undone, nor visited the halls.
I lodged in royal quarters, at majesty’s expense,
All round the walls of Wormwood’s halls were reared for my defence.
Oh, the palace of Wormwood Scrubs, the snarling, the sneers, the snubs,
And the long dreary days spent in learning the ways of the palace at Wormwood Scrubs.
