Letter "T" » Thomas Bailey Aldrich
"Have you not heard the poets tell
How came the dainty Baby Bell
Into this world of ours?"
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich
About: Babyhood
"What is lovely never dies,
But passes into other loveliness,
Star-dust, or sea-foam, flower or winged air."
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich
About: Beauty
"Gracious to all, to none subservient, Without offense he spoke the word he meant."
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich

"Or light or dark, or short or tall,
She sets a springe to snare them all:
All's one to her–above her fan
She'd make sweet eyes at Caliban."

"Day is a snow-white Dove of heaven
That from the East glad message brings."
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich
About: Day
"But when the sun in all his state,
Illumed the eastern skies,
She passed through glory's morning gate,
And walked in Paradise."
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich
About: Death
"Somewhere, in desolate, wind-swept space,
In twilight land, in no man's land,
Two hurrying shapes met face to face
And bade each other stand.
"And who are you?" cried one, a-gape,
Shuddering in the glimmering light.
"I know not," said the second shape,
"I only died last night."
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich
About: Death
"Only the sea intoning,
Only the wainscot-mouse,
Only the wild wind moaning
Over the lonely house."
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich
About: December
"When to soft Sleep we give ourselves away,
And in a dream as in a fairy bark
Drift on and on through the enchanted dark
To purple daybreak–little thought we pay
To that sweet bitter world we know by day."
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich
About: Dreams
"When the Sultan Shah-Zaman
Goes to the city Ispahan,
Even before he gets so far
As the place where the clustered palm-trees are,
At the last of the thirty palace-gates
The pet of the harem, Rose-in-Bloom,
Orders a feast in his favorite room–
Glittering square of colored ice,
Sweetened with syrup, tinctured with spice,
Creams, and cordials, and sugared dates,
Syrian apples, Othmanee quinces,
Limes and citrons and apricots,
And wines that are known to Eastern princes."
