So We'll Go No More a Roving By Lord Byron (George Gordon)
So, we'll go no more a roving So late into the night, Though the heart be still as loving, And the moon be still as bright.
For the sword outwears its sheath, And the soul wears out the breast, And the heart must pause to breathe, And love itself have rest.
Though the night was made for loving, And the day returns too soon, Yet we'll go no more a roving By the light of the moon.A Poem For Every Autumn Day: A Light in Dark Times.

Allie’s anthologies contain poems for every day of the year, each one with an introduction. Here is how this poem appears in the books:
In this poem it almost sounds as if the thirteenth-century Persian poet Rumi is telling his readers to embrace dark thoughts, shame and malice. But what he is really saying is to ‘invite them in’; don’t ignore your feelings. They may be of some higher significance.
The Guest House by Rumi
This being human is a guest house, Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest honourably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.Sir Simon Russell Beale recites Wordsworth’s ‘I wandered lonely as a cloud’ (aka ‘Daffodils’)YouTube Poetry with Allie Esiri2020-09-22 | Sir Simon Russell Beale, ‘the finest actor of his generation’ recites Wordsworth’s masterpiece, commonly known as ‘Daffodils’. This utterly brilliant ‘lockdown’ interpretation of the poem was recorded during the summer of 2020 for the FT Weekend Festival, in a poetry event called ‘Nature as Salve’, which was curated by Simon and Allie. The poem appears in Allie’s anthology, “A Poem for Every Night of the Year”. The film was directed by Juliet Riddell, filmed and edited by Joe Fletcher.
Simon Russell Beale together with Helena Bonham Carter read all the poems on the bestselling audiobook, A Poem for Every Day of the Year, with introductions to each poem read by Allie Esiri. Available on Audible, iTunes and CD.
‘I wandered lonely as a cloud’ is perhaps the most famous poem by William Wordsworth. Wordsworth is regarded as a member of the Romantic movement in English poetry — a movement which celebrated the beauty of nature. This poem opens with a multitude of natural images: clouds, vales, hills, and — most famously — daffodils. While Wordsworth talks at length on the sight of the daffodils, he never mentions their smell. This is unsurprising, as Wordsworth actually suffered from anosmia and had barely any sense of smell at all!
I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.Tobias Menzies reads ‘Nothing gold can stay’ by Robert FrostYouTube Poetry with Allie Esiri2020-09-22 | Tobias Menzies gives a simply wonderful reading of the brilliant Robert Frost poem, ‘Nothing Gold Can Stay’. Filmed during the summer of 2020, in Wiltshire, England for the launch of Allie Esiri's Anthology, “A Poem for Every Autumn Day”.
Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost
Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.Wow!

Allie’s anthologies contain poems for every day of the year, each one with an introduction. Here is how this poem appears in the books:
This wonderful poem by Stevie Smith was published in 1957. In an interview about the poem, she explained that it was about how many people pretend out of bravery that they are ‘very jolly and ordinary sort of chaps’, when, actually, they find life to be a real struggle – they’re not waving, but drowning. As the days get shorter and nights darker and more enveloping throughout Autumn, it’s easy to find one’s mood plummet. Here it’s as if Smith is calling on us to look out for our friends whose cheerful personas may belie some personal troubles.
Not waving but drowning By Stevie Smith
Nobody heard him, the dead man, But still he lay moaning: I was much further out than you thought And not waving but drowning.
Poor chap, he always loved larking And now he’s dead It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way, They said.
Oh, no no no, it was too cold always (Still the dead one lay moaning) I was much too far out all my life And not waving but drowning.Helena Bonham Carter reads Letter to NY by Elizabeth Bishop for A Poem for Every Autumn DayYouTube Poetry with Allie Esiri2020-09-17 | Helena Bonham Carter gives a pitch-perfect rendition of the wonderful poem, 'Letter to NY' by the American twentieth-century poet, Elizabeth Bishop. The poem appears in Allie Esiri's anthology A Poem for Every Day of the Year. This was filmed in the lockdown summer of 2020 in Wiltshire, England. Directed by Paul Weiland. Despite being welcomed with open arms to the pantheon of all-time greats, much of Elizabeth Bishop’s poetry plots a struggle to find a sense of belonging, and is marked by an underlying sense of loss and alienation. This poem written to her female friend and object of her affection is powerful in its expression of loss, anxiety and longing.
Letter to NY By Elizabeth Bishop Read by Helena Bonham Carter
For Louise Crane
In your next letter I wish you'd say where you are going and what you are doing; how are the plays and after the plays what other pleasures you're pursuing:
taking cabs in the middle of the night, driving as if to save your soul where the road goes round and round the park and the meter glares like a moral owl,
and the trees look so queer and green standing alone in big black caves and suddenly you're in a different place where everything seems to happen in waves,
and most of the jokes you just can't catch, like dirty words rubbed off a slate, and the songs are loud but somehow dim and it gets so terribly late,
and coming out of the brownstone house to the gray sidewalk, the watered street, one side of the buildings rises with the sun like a glistening field of wheat.
--Wheat, not oats, dear. I'm afraid if it's wheat it's none of your sowing, nevertheless I'd like to know what you are doing and where you are going.Helena Bonham Carter, ‘This is just to say’.YouTube Poetry with Allie Esiri2020-09-17 | Just thirty seconds long, see here what the brilliant Helena Bonham Carter does with that famous poem about plums.

Allie’s anthologies contain poems for every day of the year, each one with an introduction. Here is how this poem appears in the books:
The Indian writer Rabindranath Tagore was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, and was a noted artist and musician as well as a poet. This poem is about quietly attempting to make contact with the universe outside of yourself. The paper boats themselves act like Tagore’s poems – he does not know where they will travel, nor what they will mean to his readers, but in his dreams they take on a life of their own.
Day by day I float my paper boats one by one down the running stream. In big black letters I write my name on them and the name of the village where I live. I hope that someone in some strange land will find them and know who I am. I load my little boats with shiuli flowers from our garden, and hope that these blooms of the dawn will be carried safely to land in the night. I launch my paper boats and look into the sky and see the little clouds setting their white bulging sails. I know not what playmate of mine in the sky sends them down the air to race with my boats! When night comes I bury my face in my arms and dream that my paper boats float on and on under the midnight stars. The fairies of sleep are sailing in them, and the lading is their baskets full of dreams.Helena Bonham Carter reads In the Night by Stevie Smith for The Love Book poetry app.YouTube Poetry with Allie Esiri2016-10-06 | Helena Bonham Carter reads the deliciously short and biting poem, 'In the Night' by one of the twentieth’s century’s great British women poets, Stevie Smith for The Love Book poetry app.

When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me; Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree: Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet; And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows, I shall not feel the rain; I shall not hear the nightingale Sing on, as if in pain: And dreaming through the twilight That doth not rise nor set, Haply I may remember, And haply may forget.

Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you plann'd: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.Emma Watson, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hiddleston, Damian Lewis read a jamboree of love poetryYouTube Poetry with Allie Esiri2014-02-11 | Emma Watson, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hiddleston, Damian Lewis, Helen McCrory and Gina Bellman read some of the best lines ever written about love.
