The New Church Organ	Will Carleton		English	They ’ve got a bran new organ, Sue, For all their fuss and search; They ’ve done just as they said they ’d do, And fetched it into church. They ’re bound the critter shall be seen, And on the preacher’s right, They ’ve hoisted up their new...
The New Ezekiel	Emma Lazarus		English	What, can these dead bones live, whose sap is dried By twenty scorching centuries of wrong? Is this the House of Israel, whose pride Is as a tale that ’s told, an ancient song? Are these ignoble relics all that live Of psalmist, priest, and prophet?...

The New World	Jones Very		English	The night that has no star lit up by God, The day that round men shines who still are blind, The earth their grave-turned feet for ages trod, And sea swept over by His mighty wind, All these have passed away, the melting dream That flitted o’er the sleeper...
The New Year	Alfred, Lord Tennyson		English	From “In Memoriam,” CV. RING out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light: The year is dying in the night— Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new— Ring, happy bells, across the snow:...

The Night Has a Thousand Eyes	Francis William Bourdillon	1872	Love	The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light of the bright world dies With the dying sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one; Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done.

The Night Watch	William Winter		English	Beneath the midnight moon of May, Through dusk on either hand, One sheet of silver spreads the bay, One crescent jet the land; The black ships mirrored in the stream Their ghostly tresses shake— When will the dead world cease to dream?...
The Night-Blooming Cereus	Harriet Monroe		English	flower of the moon! Still white is her brow whom we worshiped on earth long ago; Yea, purer than pearls in deep seas, and more virgin than snow.

The Nile	Leigh Hunt	1804	English	It flows through old, hushed Ægypt and its sands, Like some grave, mighty thought threading a dream; And times and things, as in that vision, seem Keeping along it their eternal stands,— Caves, pillars, pyramids, the shepherd bands That roamed...

The Northern Lights	Benjamin Franklin Taylor	1839	English	To claim the Arctic came the sun With banners of the burning zone. Unrolled upon their airy spars, They froze beneath the light of stars; And there they float, those streamers old, Those Northern Lights, forever cold!
The Nose and the Eyes	William Cowper	1751	English	Between Nose and Eyes a strange contest arose; The spectacles set them, unhappily, wrong; The point in dispute was, as all the world knows, To whom the said spectacles ought to belong.
