The example Lyric:
How
Do I Love Thee
By: Elizabeth
Barrett Browning's
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love
thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul
can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the
ends of Being and ideal Grace
I love
thee to the level of everyday's
Most
quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love
thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love
thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love
thee with the passion put to use
In my
old griefs, and with my childhood's faith
I love
thee with a love I seem to love
With my
lost saints, - I love thee with the breath,
Smiles,
tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall
but love thee better after death.
The example Narrative:
The Raven
By: Edgar Allan Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this and nothing more.”
The example Dramatic:
The Dream Called Life
By: Pedro
Calderon de la Barca
DREAM it was in which I found myself.
And you
that hail me now, then hailed me king,
In a
brave palace that was all my own,
Within,
and all without it, mine; until,
Drunk
with excess of majesty and pride,
Methought
I towered so big and swelled so wide
That of
myself I burst the glittering bubble
Which my
ambition had about me blown
And all
again was darkness. Such a dream
As this,
in which I may be walking now,
Dispensing
solemn justice to you shadows,
Who make
believe to listen; but anon
Kings,
princes, captains, warriors, plume and steel,
Ay, even
with all your airy theater,
May flit
into the air you seem to rend

Semua manusia kan pasti mati
Baik petani ataupun menteri
Mari kita bercermin diri
Agar kita tak sampai merugi

Belajar janganlah ditunda-tunda
Karena kamu tidak akan kembali muda
Jika kamu terus menunda
Hilanglah sudah kesempatan berharga
