THE COMING OF GOOD LUCK

by Robert Herrick

Robert Herrick

So Good-Luck came, and on my roof did light,
Like noiseless snow, or as the dew of night;
Not all at once, but gently,--as the trees
Are by the sun-beams, tickled by degrees.

    The Couple
    by Alter Esselin
    Moonlight silent they appear, The two teenagers. Lovesick and distraught, They shove the garbage pails aside Sit down on the bench And embrace, Eyes shining in the dark.
