Ring Out, Wild Bells
A translation to Swedish by Edvard Fredin called ' Nyårsklockan ' - ' the new year 's bell ' - is recited just before the stroke of midnight at the annual New Year 's Eve festivities at Skansen in Stockholm , capital of Sweden . This tradition began in 1897 when the young Swedish actor Anders de Wahl was asked to recite the poem . de Wahl then performed the poem annually until his death in 1956 . Since 1977 the Swedish national public TV broadcaster , SVT , airs the event live , and the first to read the poem on television was the actor Georg Rydeberg . The show turned out to be a major success , and watching it on New Year 's Eve quickly became a nationwide tradition . Rydeberg recited the poem until his death in 1983 . After that many famous Swedish actors and / or singers have recited the poem , for example Jarl Kulle , Jan Malmsjö and Margaretha Krook . It should be noted that the Swedish translation differs significantly from the English original . Inspired by the Swedish tradition , auto manufacturer Volvo used the poem in a 2016 New Year 's Eve advertisement .

Later versions of the Nights include that of the French doctor J.C. Mardrus , issued from 1898 to 1904 . It was translated into English by Powys Mathers , and issued in 1923 . Like Payne 's and Burton 's texts , it is based on the Egyptian recension and retains the erotic material , indeed expanding on it , but it has been criticized for inaccuracy .

Afrikaans
In 1861 , L.H. Meurant published his Zamenspraak tusschen Klaas Waarzegger en Jan Twyfelaar ( `` Conversation between Claus Truthsayer and John Doubter '' ) , which is considered by some to be the first authoritative Afrikaans text . Abu Bakr Effendi also compiled his Arabic Afrikaans Islamic instruction book between 1862 and 1869 , although this was only published and printed in 1877 . The first Afrikaans grammars and dictionaries were published in 1875 by the Genootskap vir Regte Afrikaners ( `` Society for Real Afrikaners '' ) in Cape Town .

Onse Vader wat in die hemel is , laat U Naam geheilig word ; laat U koninkryk kom ; laat U wil geskied op die aarde , net soos in die hemel . Gee ons vandag ons daaglikse brood ; en vergeef ons ons skulde soos ons ons skuldenaars vergewe en laat ons nie in die versoeking nie maar verlos ons van die Bose Want aan U behoort die koninkryk en die krag en die heerlikheid tot in ewigheid . Amen
O Canada
Sous l'œil de Dieu , près du fleuve géant , Le Canadien grandit en espérant . Il est né d'une race fière , Béni fut son berceau . Le ciel a marqué sa carrière Dans ce monde nouveau . Toujours guidé par sa lumière , Il gardera l'honneur de son drapeau , Il gardera l'honneur de son drapeau . De son patron , précurseur du vrai Dieu , Il porte au front l'auréole de feu . Ennemi de la tyrannie Mais plein de loyauté , Il veut garder dans l'harmonie , Sa fière liberté ; Et par l'effort de son génie , Sur notre sol asseoir la vérité , Sur notre sol asseoir la vérité . Amour sacré du trône et de l'autel , Remplis nos cœurs de ton souffle immortel ! Parmi les races étrangères , Notre guide est la loi : Sachons être un peuple de frères , Sous le joug de la foi . Et répétons , comme nos pères , Le cri vainqueur : `` Pour le Christ et le roi ! '' Le cri vainqueur : `` Pour le Christ et le roi ! '' Translation : Under the eye of God , near the giant river , The Canadian grows hoping . He was born of a proud race , Blessed was his birthplace . Heaven has noted his career In this new world . Always guided by its light , He will keep the honour of his flag , He will keep the honour of his flag . From his patron , the precursor of the true God , He wears the halo of fire on his brow . Enemy of tyranny But full of loyalty , He wants to keep in harmony , His proud freedom ; And by the effort of his genius , Set on our ground the truth , Set on our ground the truth . Sacred love of the throne and the altar , Fill our hearts with your immortal breath ! Among the foreign races , Our guide is the law : Let us know how to be a people of brothers , Under the yoke of faith . And repeat , like our fathers , The battle cry : `` For Christ and King ! '' The battle cry : `` For Christ and King ! ''

The former pronunciation occurs at the beginning of a word and the latter in `` - tjie '' u / œ / , / yː / kus ( ' coast ' or ' kiss ' ) , skadu ( ' shade ' ) . The latter pronunciation is rare and most commonly found as the word u ( formal ' you ' ) û / œː / brûe ( ' bridges ' ) ü - Found in words such as reünie ( ' reunion ' ) .

Mary Had a Little Lamb
Blues musicians Buddy Guy and Stevie Ray Vaughan both recorded the song : Guy composing his own bluesy version of the song for his album A Man and the Blues in 1968 and Vaughan covering Guy 's version in his 1983 debut album , Texas Flood , with both also infusing the first four lines of the nursery rhyme , `` A-Tisket , A-Tasket '' , into the song . In 1972 , Paul McCartney released a version of the song . Just as he had done with the 16th - century poem Golden Slumbers which was released on The Beatles ' Abbey Road LP in 1969 , he added his own melody to the lyrics . The single was a top 20 hit in Britain although both the choice for and the saccharine arrangement of `` Mary Had a Little Lamb '' did much to erode his standing with leading rock journalists . McCartney played the song during Wings ' 1972 summer tour and it was included in the Spring 1973 James Paul McCartney television special . It is commercially available on the 1993 CD issue of the Wings Wild Life LP .

When telling a longer story , Afrikaans speakers usually avoid the perfect and simply use the present tense , or historical present tense instead ( as is possible , but less common , in English as well ) .

Post-apartheid South Africa has seen a loss of preferential treatment by the government for Afrikaans , in terms of education , social events , media ( TV and radio ) , and general status throughout the country , given that it now shares its place as official language with ten other languages . Nevertheless , Afrikaans remains more prevalent in the media -- radio , newspapers and television -- than any of the other official languages , except English . More than 300 book titles in Afrikaans are published annually . South African census figures suggest a growing number of speakers in all nine provinces , a total of 6.85 million in 2011 compared to 5.98 million a decade earlier . The South African Institute of Race Relations ( SAIRR ) project that a growing majority will be Coloured Afrikaans speakers . Afrikaans speakers experience higher employment rates than other South African language groups , though half a million remain unemployed .

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
He was a man of serious and devout mind , though not without humour ; he had an interest in theology , and some knowledge of it , though an amateur knowledge perhaps , rather than a professional ; he had Latin and French and was well enough read in French books , both romantic and instructive ; but his home was in the West Midlands of England ; so much his language shows , and his metre , and his scenery .

To Autumn
The work has been interpreted as a meditation on death ; as an allegory of artistic creation ; as Keats 's response to the Peterloo Massacre , which took place in the same year ; and as an expression of nationalist sentiment . One of the most anthologised English lyric poems , `` To Autumn '' has been regarded by critics as one of the most perfect short poems in the English language .
The Twelve Days of Christmas (song)
And so on . Each day was taken up and repeated all round ; and for every breakdown ( except by little Maggie , who struggled with desperately earnest round eyes to follow the rest correctly , but with very comical results ) , the player who made the slip was duly noted down by Mabel for a forfeit .
To Autumn
`` To Autumn '' describes , in its three stanzas , three different aspects of the season : its fruitfulness , its labour and its ultimate decline . Through the stanzas there is a progression from early autumn to mid autumn and then to the heralding of winter . Parallel to this , the poem depicts the day turning from morning to afternoon and into dusk . These progressions are joined with a shift from the tactile sense to that of sight and then of sound , creating a three - part symmetry which is not present in Keats 's other odes .
Ode to the West Wind
Shelley also changes his use of metaphors in this canto . In the first cantos the wind was a metaphor explained at full length . Now the metaphors are only weakly presented -- `` the thorns of life '' ( 54 ) . Shelley also leaves out the fourth element : the fire . In the previous cantos he wrote about the earth , the air and the water . The reader now expects the fire -- but it is not there . This leads to a break in the symmetry .
The Happy Prince and Other Tales
This story concerns a firework , who is one of many to be let off at the wedding of a prince and princess . The rocket is extremely pompous and self - important , and denigrates all the other fireworks , eventually bursting into tears to demonstrate his `` sensitivity '' . As this makes him wet , he fails to ignite , and , the next day , is thrown away into a ditch . He still believes that he is destined for great public importance , and treats a frog , dragonfly , and duck that meet him with appropriate disdain . Two boys find him , and use him for fuel on their camp - fire . The rocket is finally lit and explodes , but nobody observes him - the only effect he has is to frighten a goose with his falling stick .
To Autumn
In the second stanza Autumn is personified as a harvester , to be seen by the viewer in various guises performing labouring tasks essential to the provision of food for the coming year . There is a lack of definitive action , all motion being gentle . Autumn is not depicted as actually harvesting but as seated , resting or watching . In lines 14 -- 15 the personification of Autumn is as an exhausted labourer . Near the end of the stanza , the steadiness of the gleaner in lines 19 -- 20 again emphasises a motionlessness within the poem . The progression through the day is revealed in actions that are all suggestive of the drowsiness of afternoon : the harvested grain is being winnowed , the harvester is asleep or returning home , the last drops issue from the cider press .
The Miller's Tale
His presse ycovered with a faldyng reed , And al above ther lay a gay sautrie On which he made a nyghtes melodie So swetely that al the chambre song , And Angelus ad virginem he song , And after that he song The Kynges Noote ; Full often blessed was his myrie throte !
Dejection: An Ode
The poem begins with a claim that the narrator has lost his ability to write , which fuels the mood of dejection :
One Thousand and One Nights
Giving advice , warning , and solutions . Praising God , royalties and those in power . Pleading for mercy and forgiveness . Lamenting wrong decisions or bad luck . Providing riddles , laying questions , challenges . Criticizing elements of life , wondering . Expressing feelings to others or one 's self : happiness , sadness , anxiety , surprise , anger .
The Red Badge of Courage
The indifference of the natural world is a reoccurring theme in Crane 's work . At the beginning of the novel , as the regiments advance toward battle , the sky is described as being an innocuous `` fairy blue . '' In chapter seven , Henry notes the inexplicable tranquility of nature , `` a woman with a deep aversion to tragedy '' , even as the battle rages on . Similarly , Heaven itself is indifferent to the slaughter he encounters on the battlefield . The dichotomy between nature 's sweetness and war 's destructiveness is further described in chapter eighteen : `` A cloud of dark smoke as from smoldering ruins went up toward the sun now bright and gay in the blue , enameled sky . '' After his desertion , however , Henry finds some comfort in the laws of nature , which seem to briefly affirm his previous cowardice :
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Chapter Seven -- A Mad Tea - Party : Alice becomes a guest at a `` mad '' tea party along with the March Hare , the Hatter , and a very tired Dormouse who falls asleep frequently , only to be violently woken up moments later by the March Hare and the Hatter . The characters give Alice many riddles and stories , including the famous `` Why is a raven like a writing desk ? '' . The Hatter reveals that they have tea all day because Time has punished him by eternally standing still at 6 pm ( tea time ) . Alice becomes insulted and tired of being bombarded with riddles and she leaves , claiming that it was the stupidest tea party that she had ever been to . She makes her way back to the hallway and , using the pieces of mushroom , manages to get the key , unlock the door and enter the garden . Alice
Ode on a Grecian Urn
The questions presented in these lines are too ambiguous to allow the reader to understand what is taking place in the images on the urn , but elements of it are revealed : there is a pursuit with a strong sexual component . The melody accompanying the pursuit is intensified in the second stanza :
Ode to the West Wind
Again the wind is very important in this last canto . At the beginning of the poem the wind was only capable of blowing the leaves from the trees . In the previous canto the poet identified himself with the leaves . In this canto the wind is now capable of using both of these things mentioned before .
Ode on a Grecian Urn
The audience is limited in its ability to comprehend the eternal scene , but the silent urn is still able to speak to them . The story it tells is both cold and passionate , and it is able to help mankind . The poem concludes with the urn 's message :
Ode on a Grecian Urn
There is a hint of a paradox in that indulgence causes someone to be filled with desire and that music without a sound is desired by the soul . There is a stasis that prohibits the characters on the urn from ever being fulfilled :
Pomp and Circumstance Marches
Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump , The spirit - stirring drum , th'ear - piercing fife , The royal banner , and all quality , Pride , pomp , and circumstance of glorious war !
The Red Badge of Courage
This landscape gave him assurance . A fair field holding life . It was the religion of peace . It would die if its timid eyes were compelled to see blood ... He threw a pine cone at a jovial squirrel , and he ran with chattering fear . High in a treetop he stopped , and , poking his head cautiously from behind a branch , looked down with an air of trepidation . The youth felt triumphant at this exhibition . There was the law , he said . Nature had given him a sign . The squirrel , immediately upon recognizing danger , had taken to his legs without ado . He did not stand stolidly baring his furry belly to the missile , and die with an upward glance at the sympathetic heavens . On the contrary , he had fled as fast as his legs could carry him .

This haiku by Bashō illustrates that he was not always constrained to a 5 - 7 - 5 on pattern . It contains 18 on in the pattern 6 - 7 - 5 ( `` ō '' or おう is treated as two on . )

The Twelve Days of Christmas (song)
Thomas Hughes , in a short story published in 1864 , described a fictional game of Forfeits involving the song :
