The Epochs
ON Petrarch's heart, all other days before,
In flaming letters written, was impress d
GOOD FRIDAY. And on mine, be it confess'd,
Is this year's ADVENT, as it passeth o'er.
I do not now begin,--I still adore
Her whom I early cherish'd in my breast;,
Then once again with prudence dispossess'd,
And to whose heart I'm driven back once more.
The love of Petrarch, that all-glorious love,
Was unrequited, and, alas, full sad;
One long Good Friday 'twas, one heartache drear
But may my mistress' Advent ever prove,
With its palm-jubilee, so sweet and glad,
One endless Mayday, through the livelong year!

Everything in its season, and turnips in Advent.
The salvation of the elect was as certain before His advent, though accomplished by it, as afterwards.

The good breed hardly dies.
With advent of democracy and literacy,
Went in decline the Brahmin authority.
Yet, the rest submit to their purity and nobility.
The well reared are not the well bred.

Love Sacred
There, those people young and old
Paint their feelings red and blue
For a trance of bliss liquored up in dim light
To name a kind of love..
Wish them'God be with'
But
The burning heart of a mourning love
Passing through a familial exam
Put up with a life of babies
In silence patient
Answer a couple modest and honest
' An advent along obstacles
Treasure-hunts the life the sacred love'
In the deep depths of their souls
A holy spark of love smoldering
Awaiting a timely rapture
Crossing over the commited burdens..
There, such is the sacred love
