Best Duties Poems
It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,
Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
...
Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on
us?
...
Earth, Ocean, Air, belovèd brotherhood!
If our great Mother has imbued my soul
With aught of natural piety to feel
Your love, and recompense the boon with mine;
...
The green village, the colored city, the ever familiar locality
Each path, tree, house, turn, each native I have left behind
But creepers, hedges have entangled with my leg and hand
The green crops fields, green hills, fruit trees, call me back,
...
I'm taking a walk to the cemetery this morning,
be back before noontime for crumpets and tea.
I have two friends who died not so long ago;
they were brothers, treated me the same.
...
I have no time to notice
what takes place around me
Distractions daily duties grab focus
...
Beautiful Evelyn Hope is dead!
Sit and watch by her side an hour.
That is her book-shelf, this her bed;
She plucked that piece of geranium-flower,
Beginning to die too, in the glass;

A certain yaksha who had been negligent in the execution of his own duties,
on account of a curse from his master which was to be endured for a year and

Alone in the walks of life
No other soul as his companion
The lonely soul wanders

My body shall be bare.
Bereft of body
My soul shall be bare.

Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour;
England hath need of thee: she is a fen
Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,
Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower,
...
King Dushyant in a chariot, pursuing an antelope, with a bow and quiver, attended by his Charioteer.
...
The gay young men and the love-sick girls,
and the abandoned widows suffering in sleepless delirium,
and the young pregnant wives of thirty hours ...

One lesson, Nature, let me learn of thee,
One lesson which in every wind is blown,
One lesson of two duties kept at one
Though the loud world proclaim their enmity--

Gorgeous white Pomeranian,
Black eyes bright like
Black berries ripe,

Which asks no duties and no conscience?
The moon goes up by leaps, her cheerful path
In some far summer stratum of the sky,

Nature's lay idiot, I taught thee to love,
And in that sophistry, Oh, thou dost prove
Too subtle: Foole, thou didst not understand
The mystic language of the eye nor hand:

MYSELF and mine gymnastic ever,
To stand the cold or heat--to take good aim with a gun--to sail a
boat--to manage horses--to beget superb children,
...
Sit still, I say, and dispense with heroics!
I hurt your wrists? Well, you have hurt me.
It is time you found out that all men are not stoics,

If thou in the dear love of some one Friend
Hast been so happy that thou know'st what thoughts
Will sometimes in the happiness of love
Make the heart sink, then wilt thou reverence
...
MILTON! thou shouldst be living at this hour:
England hath need of thee: she is a fen
Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,
Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower,

Dear Joseph,-- five and twenty years ago--
Alas! how time escapes -- 'tis even so!--
With frequent intercourse and always sweet

From Deal to Ramsgate span,
That I found alone on a piece of stone
An elderly naval man.

I have loved England, dearly and deeply,
Since that first morning, shining and pure,
The white cliffs of Dover I saw rising steeply
...
It‘s crazy to think one could describe them—
Calling on reason, fantasy, memory, eves and ears—
As though they were all alike any more
...
AFTER all, not to create only, or found only,
But to bring, perhaps from afar, what is already founded,
To give it our own identity, average, limitless, free;
...
NEAR to the silver Trent
SIRENA dwelleth;
She to whom Nature lent
All that excelleth;

Signals the vibrancy of our democracy
Heralds our faith in the country's freedom
In Republic of India and its Constitution

Starting on your autumn flight,
Pause a moment at my window,
Twitter softly your good-night;

The town was taken--whether he might yield
Himself or bastion, little matter'd now:
His stubborn valour was no future shield.

'If my heart by signs can tell,
Maiden, I have watch'd thee daily,
And I think thou lov'st me well.'

Descended to the court that lay three parts

In all ways, like thee.

In Mumbai on 26th July 2005;

Homeless they watch the T.V. in their new houses while washing the dirty linen.

Through passionate duty love flames higher,
As grass grows taller round a stone."

To reach secure at length his native coast,
Who wandering long o'er distant lands has sped,

With behind a garden plot;

Sitting on chair, tell Granny who has flair. [1]
