Let me not to the marriage of true mindsLet me not to the marriage of true mindsAdmit impediments. Love is not loveAdmit impediments. Love is not loveWhich alters what it alteration finds,Which alters what it alteration finds,

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;That looks on tempests and is never shaken;It is the star to every wandering bark,It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be takentaken

He disappeared in the dead of winter: The brooks were frozen, the airports almost deserted,
And snow disfigured the public statues;The mercury sank in the mouth of the dying day.
What instruments we have agreeThe day of his death was a dark cold day.
You were silly like us; your gift survived it all: The parish of rich women, physical decay, Yourself. Mad Ireland hurt you into poetry.
Now Ireland has her madness and her weather still,For poetry makes nothing happen: it survivesIn the valley of its making where executivesWould never want to tamper, flows on south
From ranches of isolation and the busy griefs,Raw towns that we believe and die in; it survives,
A way of happening, a mouth.
In the deserts of the heartLet the healing fountain start,
In the prison of his daysTeach the free man how to praise.

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel
shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

At morn- at noon- at twilight dim- Maria! thou hast heard my hymn!
In joy and woe- in good and ill- Mother of God, be with me still! When the hours flew brightly by,
And not a cloud obscured the sky, My soul, lest it should truant be,
Thy grace did guide to thine and thee; Now, when storms of Fate o'ercast
Darkly my Present and my Past, Let my Future radiant shine
With sweet hopes of thee and thine!

I heard a fly buzz when I died;The stillness round my form
Was like the stillness in the airBetween the heaves of storm.
The eyes beside had wrung them dry,And breaths were gathering sureFor that last onset, when the king
Be witnessed in his power.
I willed my keepsakes, signed awayWhat portion of me I
Could make assignable,-and thenThere interposed a fly,
With blue, uncertain, stumbling buzz,Between the light and me;
And then the windows failed, and thenI could not see to see.
