Poems with rhymes of vainly

And I say, "'Twere mood ungainly
To store her memory so:"
I say it vainly--

Look back—Ah, how vainly !
For while I see plainly,

For, oh! the scene recalled too plainly
The half-forgotten time when he,
A boy of nine, had worshipped vainly

She sought to breathe one word, but vainly;
Too many listeners were nigh;
And yet my timid glance read plainly

Far too long have sages vainly
Glossed great Nature's simple text;
He who runs can read it plainly,

Hides the drug but vainly,
So, in chance-sown words, I will
Speak the matter plainly.

Just to show he's acting vainly.
This is Virtue saying plainly,

A life of love and war--but vainly!
For thee his sanguine life shall end--
He'll spill his blood, to put it plainly.

We bruise our breasts, we struggle vainly;
Up to the glory of the stars
We strain with flutterings ungainly.

The loved and the longed for, the striven for vainly--
Your whole life before you lies pictured how plainly!
