POETRY

Past, Present, Future

by: Emily Bronte (1818-1848)

Tell me, Tell me, smiling child,
What the past is like to thee?
'An autumn evening soft and mild
With a mind that sighs mournfully'.

Tell me, what is the present hour?
'A green and flowery spray
Where a young bird sits gathering its power
To mount and fly away'.

And what is the future, happy one?
'A sea beneath a cloudless sun;
A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea
Stretching into infinity'.


Women's Rights

by: Annie Louisa Walker (1836-1907)

You cannot rob us of the rights we cherish,
Nor turn out thoughts away
From the bright picture of a "woman's mission"
Our hearts portray

We claim to dwell, in quiet and seclusion,
Beneath the household roof,
From the great world's harsh strife, and jarring voices,
To stand aloof,

Not in a dreamy and inane abstraction
To sleep our life away,
But, gathering up the brightness of home sunshine,
To deck our way,

As humble plants by country hedgerows growing,
That treasure up the rain,
And yield in odours, ere the day's declining,
The gift again;

So let us, unobtrusive and unnoticed,
But happy none the less,
Be privileged to fill the air around us
with happiness;

To live, unknown beyond the cherished circle,
Which we can bless and aid;
To die, and not a heart that does not love us
Know where we're laid.

Song Lyrics

JET LAG

SIMPLE PLAN FEAT NATASHA

(So jet lagged)

What time is it where you are?

(I miss you more than anything)

I'm back at home, you feel so far

(Waiting for the phone to ring)

It's getting lonely living upside down

I don't even want to be in this town

Trying to figure out, the time zone's making me crazy

You say good morning when it's midnight

Going out of my head, alone in this bed

I wake up to your sunset

And it's driving me mad, I miss you so bad

And my heart heart, heart is so jet lagged

Heart heart, heart is so jet lagged

Heart heart, heart is so jet lagged

Is so jet lagged

What time is it where you are?

(Five more days and I'll be home)

I keep your picture in my car

(I hate the thought of you alone)

I've been keeping busy all the time

Just to try to keep you off my mind

Trying to figure out, the time zone's making me crazy

You say good morning when it's midnight

Going out of my head, alone in this bed

I wake up to your sunset

And it's driving me mad, I miss you so bad

And my heart heart, heart is so jet lagged

Heart heart, heart is so jet lagged

Heart heart, heart is so jet lagged

Is so jet lagged

I miss you so bad

(I miss you so bad)

I miss you so bad

(I miss you so bad)

I miss you so bad

(I wanna share your horizon)

I miss you so bad

And see the same sun rising

I miss you so bad

Until the hour hand is back to when you're home with me

You say good morning when it's midnight

Going out of my head, alone in this bed

I wake up to your sunset

And it's driving me mad, I miss when you say

Good morning when it's midnight

Going out of my head, alone in this bed

I wake up to your sunset

And it's driving me mad, I miss you so bad

And my heart heart, heart is so jet lagged

Heart heart, heart is so jet lagged

Heart heart, heart is so jet lagged

Is so jet lagged

(Is so jet lagged)
