• Your street, rich street or poor
  Used to always be sure, on your street
  There's a place in your heart you know from the start
  Can't be complete outside of the street
  Keep moving on through the joy and the pain
  Sometimes you got to look back
  To the street again
  Would you prefer all those castles in Spain?
  Or the view of your street from your window pane?

  Van Morrison

  Pain, Moving, Heart

  "Song: 'The Street Only Knew Your Name' ('Inarticulate Speech of the Heart')". 1983.

  Amalia Kahana-Carmon

  Fall, Two, Museums

• While snow the window-panes bedim,
  The fire curls up a sunny charm,
  Where, creaming o'er the pitcher's rim,
  The flowering ale is set to warm;
  Mirth, full of joy as summer bees,
  Sits there, its pleasures to impart,
  And children, 'tween their parent's knees,
  Sing scraps of carols o'er by heart.

  John Clare

  Summer, Children, Heart

  John Clare (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of John Clare (Illustrated)”, p.482, Delphi Classics
