8 William Wordsworth (1770-1850) Daffodils I Wandr’d lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils, Beside the lake, beneath the trees Fluttering and dancing in the breeze

9 Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) He prayeth best, who loveth best All things both great and small ; For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all. The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner

10 George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824) The Corsair 'O'ER the glad waters of the dark blue sea, Our thoughts as boundless, and our soil's as free Far as the breeze can bear, the billows foam, Survey our empire, and behold our home! These are our realms, no limits to their sway- Our flag the sceptre all who meet obey.

11 John Keats (1795-1821) Ode To A Grecian Urn When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say’st, “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,”— that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know

12 Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: `My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!‘ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away.
