The daisy follows soft the sun,
And when his golden walk is done,
Sits shyly at his feet.
He, walking, finds the flower near.

The Dalliance of the Eagles |
Walt Whitman |
1839 |
English |
Skirting the river road (my forenoon walk, my rest),
Skyward in air a sudden muffled sound, the dalliance of the eagles,
The rushing amorous contact high in space together,
The clinching interlocking claws, a living, fierce, gyrating wheel,
Four beating wings, two... |

The Dance |
Anonymous |

English |
[Published soon after the surrender of Cornwallis]
CORNWALLIS led a country dance,
The like was never seen, sir,
Much retrograde and much advance,
And all with General Greene, sir.
They rambled up and rambled down,
Joined hands, then off... |
The Dancer |
Ednah Proctor (Clarke) Hayes |
|
English |
Skin creamy as the furled magnolia bud
That stabs the dusky shadows of her hair;
Great startled eyes, and sudden-pulsing blood
Staining her cheek and throat and shoulder bare.
(Ah Manuelita!
Lita Pepita!

The Dancers |
Michael Field |
|
English |
From Machaon and the Faun
I DANCE and dance! Another faun,
A black one, dances on the lawn.
He moves with me, and when I lift
My heels his feet directly shift:
I can’t outdance him though I try;
He dances nimbler than I.
I toss my head, and... |
The Dancing Faun |
Robert Cameron Rogers |
|
English |
Thou dancer of two thousand years,
Thou dancer of to-day,
What silent music fills thine ears,
What Bacchic lay,
That thou shouldst dance the centuries
Down their forgotten way?
What mystic strain of pagan mirth
Has charmed... |
The Dancing of the Air |
Sir John Davies |
1589 |
English |
And now behold your tender nurse, the air,
And common neighbor that aye runs around,
How many pictures and impressions fair
Within her empty regions are there found,
Which to your senses dancing do propound!
For what are breath, speech, echoes, music... |

The Dandelion's pallid tube
Astonishes the Grass,
And Winter instantly becomes
An infinite Alas —
The tube uplifts a signal Bud
And then a shouting Flower, —
The Proclamation of the Suns

DARK Angel, with thine aching lust
To rid the world of penitence:
Malicious Angel, who still dost
My soul such subtile violence!
Because of thee, no thought, no thing,
Abides for me undesecrate:

The Daughter of Mendoza |
Mirabeau Bonaparte Lamar |
|
English |
O lend to me, sweet nightingale,
Your music by the fountain,
And lend to me your cadences,
O river of the mountain!
That I may sing my gay brunette,
A diamond spark in coral set,
Gem for a prince’s coronet—
The daughter of Mendoza.... |
The Dawning o' the Year |
Mary Elizabeth Blake |
|
English |
All ye who love the springtime—and who but loves it well
When the little birds do sing, and the buds begin to swell!—
Think not ye ken its beauty, or know its face so dear,
Till ye look upon old Ireland, in the dawning o’ the year!
For where in all the earth is... |

The Day came slow — till Five o'clock —

By early, stooping Night —

Its Yellow shortness dropt —
The Winds went out their martial ways
The Leaves obtained excuse —

The Day is Coming |
William Morris |
1854 |
English |
Come hither lads and hearken,
for a tale there is to tell,
Of the wonderful days a-coming,
when all shall be better than well.
And the tale shall be told of a country,
a land in the midst of the sea,
And folk shall call it England... |

The Daylight is Dying |
|

English |
The daylight is dying
Away in the west,
The wild birds are flying
In silence to rest;
In leafage and frondage
Where shadows are deep,
They pass to its bondage --
The kingdom of sleep. ... |
The Days Gone by |
James Whitcomb Riley |
1869 |
English |
O The DAYS gone by! O the days gone by!
The apples in the orchard, and the pathway through the rye;
The chirrup of the robin, and the whistle of the quail
As he piped across the meadows sweet as any nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover, and the blue was... |
