    THE FEAST OF SIGHT

    Khaliqur Rahman

     

    How often have you thrown a feast of sight

    So soft and sweet and how often have I,

    Fondling long the taste of that delicious pie,

    Feasted full, still whetting my appetite.

    How often have I drunk the deep delight

    Of that brooklet that runs from eye to eye.

    And often from those slumberous cups you shy

    Those sleepy beams on me that sleep invite.

      The Road Not Taken
     

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth;

    Then took the other, as just as fair,
    And having perhaps the better claim
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
    Though as for that the passing there
    Had worn them really about the same,

    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    Oh, I marked the first for another day!
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way
    I doubted if I should ever come back.

    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.

      Nice poem, Nadira. It's one of my favourites amongst Frost's poems. Your rendering is good. But I find the volume on the lower side. There seems to be some problem with recording. Just to check on that I've just recorded the same poem and am going to embed the boo here for you to let me know how you find its volume and the quality of recording.

      Best wishes

    How Do I love Thee

    by Elizabeth Barret Browning

     

    How do I love thee?  Let me count the ways.
    I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
    My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
    For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
    I love thee to the level of everyday's
    Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
    I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
    I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
    I love thee with the passion put to use
    In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
    I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
    With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
    Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
    I shall but love thee better after death.
