Right Here Waiting By Richard Max

Oceans apart, day after day And I slowly go insane I hear your voice on the line But it doesn’t stop the pain If I see you next to never How can I say forever? Wherever you go, whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you. Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you.

I took for granted all the time That I thought would last somehow I hear the laughter I taste the tears But I can’t get near you now Oh, can’t you see it baby You’ve got me goin’ crazy Wherever you go, whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive this romance But in the end if I’m with you I’ll take the chance Oh,can’t you see it baby You’ve got me goin’ crazy Wherever you go, whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you Waiting for you…

ON THE SEA It keeps eternal whisperings around Desolate shores, and with its mighty swell Gluts twice ten thousand Caverns, till the spell Of Hecate leaves them their old shadowy sound. Often 'tis in such gentle temper found, That scarcely will the very smallest shell Be mov'd for days from where it sometime fell, When last the winds of Heaven were unbound. Oh ye! who have your eye-balls vex'd and tir'd, Feast them upon the wideness of the Sea; Oh ye! who have your eye-balls vex'd and tir'd, Feast them upon the wideness of the Sea; Oh ye! whose ears are dinn'd with uproar rude, Or fed too much with cloying melody - Sit ye near some old Cavern's Mouth, and brood Until ye start, as if the sea-nymphs quir'd! John Keats

A SOLDIER He is that fallen lance that lies as hurled, That lies unlifted now, come dew, come rust, But still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust. If we who sight along it round the world, See nothing worthy to have been its mark, It is because like men we look too near, Forgetting that as fitted to the sphere, Our missiles always make too short an arc. They fall, they rip the grass, they intersect The curve of earth, and striking, break their own; They make us cringe for metal-point on stone. But this we know, the obstacle that checked And tripped the body, shot the spirit on Further than target ever showed or shone. Robert Frost

The Isles of Greece The isles of Greece! the isles of Greece! Where burning Sappho loved and sung, Where grew the arts of war and peace, -- Where Delos rose and Phoebus sprung! Eternal summer gilds them yet, But all, except their sun, is set. The Scian and the Teian muse, The hero's harp, the lover's lute, Have found the fame your shores refuse; Their place of birth alone is mute To sounds which echo further west Than your sires' "Islands of the Blest." The mountains look on Marathon -- And Marathon looks on the sea; And musing there an hour alone, I dream'd that Greece might yet be free For, standing on the Persians' grave, I could not deem myself a slave. George Gordon Byron

Darkling I listen; and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Call’d him soft names in many a mused rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath; Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy! A Poem by Keats

The same whom in my school-boy days I listened to; that Cry Which made me look a thousand ways In bush, and tree, and sky. To seek thee did I often rove Through woods and on the green; And thou wert still a hope, a love; Still longed for, never seen. A Poem by Wordsworth
