    About this ebook

    If I were King of some great land
    With lords and commons to command,
    My crown should be with justice bright
    Instead of jewels-and Love's light
    Should be the sceptre in my hand.

    One law of virtue should be planned
    That all alike might understand
    The simple rule, that right is right-
    If I were King.

    One Church should stand in God's own sight
    Where all who wished to worship, might,
    Its ministers should be a band
    Of soldiers with a purpose grand
    To put all evil thoughts to flight,
    If I were King.

      Some people jump, some people dive,Others inch by inch arrive And give themselves up to the chill,Piecemeal, with a grudging will: First toes, then ankles tempt the cold,And backs of knees, that, tender, fold, Then thighs that start to pimple, blo

      Poem Of The Week: The North Wind By Anne Brontë

      May 8, 2023

      That wind is from the North, I know it well;No other breeze could have so wild a swell.Now deep and loud it thunders round my cell,Then faintly dies,And softly sighs,And moans and murmurs mournfully.I know its language; thus is speaks to me – ‘I have
