The Home Book of Verse
Burton Egbert Stevenson
The sense of the world is short, long and various the report, to love and be beloved; men and gods have not outlearned it. This collection gathers the echoes of that ancient, unlearned truth, inviting readers to witness the myriad ways the human heart has tried to name its own devotion.

Laurence Hope
The ache of a life spent longing for the impossible pulses through these verses, where desert suns and temple shadows frame an endless, restless pursuit of love that never finds its rest.
The flower and the leaf
Unknown
The world awakens in a rush of green, where hidden allegories of endurance and fragility play out in a meadow that defies the turning of the seasons.
Verses
Violet Jacob

T. S. (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

Poems with Power to Strengthen the Soul
Unknown
A collection of verse designed to fortify the spirit, this anthology offers a quiet sanctuary for those seeking moral clarity and inner resilience amidst the pressures of a busy world.
