Funny Poems

Open the window, and let the air Freshly blow upon face and hair,
And fill the room, as it fills the night, with the breath of the rain’s sweet might.
Hark! The burthen, swift and prone!
And how the odorous limes are blown! Stormy Love’s abroad, and keeps Hopeful coil for gentle sleeps.

Not a blink shall burn to-night in my chamber, of sordid light; Nought will I have, not a window-pane,
‘Twixt me and the air and the great good rain,
Which ever shall sing me sharp lullabies;
And God’s own darkness shall close mine eyes;
And I will sleep, with all things blest, In the pure earth-shadow of natural rest.

by James Henry Leigh Hunt
