Try: 'Sit and Think' like Tolkien did

I Sit and Think – J. R. R. Tolkien

I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.


I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall never see.

For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green.


I sit beside the fire and think
of people long ago,
and people who will see a world
that I shall never know.


But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.

I chose that one! :)

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

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 kept 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.

Tuan Hujan Tidak Tau Waktu

Hujan Bulan Juni

Oleh: Sapardi Djoko Damono

Tak ada yang lebih tabah

dari hujan bulan Juni

Dirahasiakannya rintik rindunya

kepada pohon berbunga itu

Tak ada yang lebih bijak

dari hujan bulan Juni

Dihapusnya jejak-jejak kakinya

yang ragu-ragu di jalan itu

Tak ada yang lebih arif

dari hujan bulan Juni

Dibiarkannya yang tak terucapkan

diserap akar pohon bunga itu

Tentang cinta memang selalu rumit. Kenapa tuan hujan harus datang bulan Juni? Apa dia ga bisa menunggu? Terlalu tidak sabar mungkin? Waktu yang tepat, itu penting!! Datanglah di waktu yang tepat Tuan Hujan :)
