  9. Charlotte Smith - Significant figure during Romantic Period, used of blank verse to convey a tone and emotion “To a Nightingale” Poor melancholy bird---that all night longTell'st to the Moon, thy tale of tender woe;From what sad cause can such sweet sorrow flow,And whence this mournful melody of song?Thy poet's musing fancy would translateWhat mean the sounds that swell thy little breast,When still at dewy eve thou leav'st thy nest,Thus to the listening night to sing thy fate!Pale Sorrow's victims wert thou once among,Tho' now releas'd in woodlands wild to rove?Say---hast thou felt from friends some cruel wrong,Or diedst thou---martyr of disastrous love?Ah! songstress sad! that such my lot might be,To sigh and sing at liberty---like thee! http://www.litgothic.com/Authors/csmith.html http://wompherence.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fm&action=display&thread=172 (Poem)

  12. Lord Byron “She Walks in Beauty” IShe walks in beauty—like the night  Of cloudless climes and starry skies,And all that's best of dark and bright  Meet in her aspect and her eyes;Thus mellowed to the tender light  Which heaven to gaudy day denies.IIOne shade the more, one ray the less,  Had half impaired the nameless graceWhich waves in every raven tress  Or softly lightens o'er her face—Where thoughts serenely sweet express  How pure, how dear their dwelling place.IIIAnd on that cheek and o'er that brow  So soft, so calm yet eloquent,The smiles that win, the tints that glow  But tell of days in goodness spentA mind at peace with all below,  A heart whose love is innocent. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Hebrew_Melodies/She_walks_in_beauty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Gordon_Byron,_6th_Baron_Byron
