__ The gingham dog and the calico cat
__ A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute saloon;
__ O my Luve’s like a red, red rose
__ I shot an arrow into the air,
__ It looked extremely rocky for the Mudville nine that day;
__ Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
__ ‘Tis the last rose of Summer,
__ The year’s at the Spring
__ I never saw a moor,
__ A wise old owl sat on an oak,
__ She walks in beauty, like the night
__ How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
__ Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
__ Hog Butcher for the World,
__ Do not go gentle into that good night,
__ I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
__ O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
__ Cowards die many times before their deaths;
__ I think that I shall never see
__’Way down upon de Swanee ribber,
__ Whose woods these are I think I know.
__ Maud Muller on a summer’s day
__ A man said to the universe:
__ Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
