Poems with rhymes of denies

She is wedded to convictions - in default of grosser ties;
Her contentions are her children, Heaven help him, who denies!

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

For though your presence Fate denies,
I feel, alas! the killing smart,
And can with undiscerned eyes

Ah, tell me, Love, when she denies,
Shall I believe the lips or eyes?

DOES Pity give, though Fate denies,
And to my wounds her balm impart?
O speak--with those expressive eyes!

In vain, alas! poor Strephon tries
To ease his tortured breast,
Since Amoret the cure denies,

Forgive our faith in cruel lies,—­
Forgive the blindness that denies!

Though pedantry denies,
It's plain the Bible means
That Solomon grew wise

From the old man in the skies
Can burn out that suffering
No right-taught man denies.

Hope sits yet hiding her war-wearied eyes,
Doubt sets her forehead earthward and denies,

How happy they whom poverty denies
To execute the projects they devise !

To set our feet on party lies,
And wound no more a living ear
With words that Death denies?

Sleep, that giv'st what Life denies,
Shadowy bounties and supreme,
Bring the dearest face that flies

Think each in each, immediately wise;
Learn all we lacked before; hear, know, and say
What this tumultuous body now denies;

So what our earth, and what our heaven, denies,
Our ever constant friend, the sea, supplies.

But now my ling'ring feet revenge denies,
O could I throw my jav'lin from my eyes!

Yet can we read, what all the rest denies,
That he hath feelings of a mortal birth,
In the wild sorrow of those dark bright eyes,

That Eyes were Heart, or that the Heart were Eyes,
As covetous the other's use to have;
But finding Nature their request denies,

Think each in each, immediately wise;
Learn all we lacked before; hear, know, and say
What this tumultuous body now denies;

The shadow, the sweet sense of slumber denies,
If even I marvel at kindness, and fret,
And start while the tears are all wet in mine eyes?
