    “On the beach at night,
    Stands a child with her father,
    Watching the east, the autumn sky.

    Up through the darkness,
    While ravening clouds, the burial clouds, in black masses spreading,
    Lower sullen and fast athwart and down the sky,”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “God prosper long our noble king,
    Our liffes and saftyes all!
    A woefull hunting once there did
    In Chevy Chase befall.”
    —Unknown. Chevy Chase (l. 1–4)
