Three rusty nails - Roger McGough
Mother, there's a strange man
Waiting at the door
With a familiar sort of face
You feel you've seen before.

Dream Variations - Langston Hughes
To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
Then rest at cool evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on gently,
Dark like me--
That is my dream!

Home-Thoughts, From Abroad - Robert Browning
Oh, to be in England
Now that April's there,
And whoever wakes in England
Sees, some morning, unaware,
That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf
Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,
While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough
In England--now!

As Far As My Eye Can See In My Body’s Senses - Paul Éluard
All the trees all their branches all of their leaves
The grass at the foot of the rocks and the houses en masse
