Unseen examination-style passage using conventions associated with William Blake:
A child drew morning on a soot-black wall,
A lamb beside a gate, a sun above;
He heard the factory whistle rise and fall,
Yet named its iron cry the voice of love.
The elders smiled and praised his gentle sight,
While shadows lengthened underneath the light.
At dusk the painted lamb appeared to speak:
Who built this fold, and why are children pale?
The child looked up; the sun had sprung a leak,
And golden drops ran down the city's jail.
He learned that innocence may clearly see
The chains that custom calls necessity.

Unseen examination-style passage using conventions associated with William Wordsworth:
I passed a shepherd's path beside the stream,
Where one bent willow touched the travelling foam;
No trumpet called the moment into fame,
No marble marked that quiet place as home.
A girl was gathering sticks upon the hill,
And evening rested on her figure still.
Years later, in a room of crowded sound,
That humble scene returned without command;
The willow bent, the water circled round,
The patient bundle waited in her hand.
My heart grew calm, as if the remembered air
Had made the absent valley present there.

Unseen examination-style passage using conventions associated with Samuel Taylor Coleridge:
At midnight, where the polar waters sleep,
Our mast cast one long shadow on the snow;
No wind approached us from the frozen deep,
Yet every hanging rope began to blow.
A pale bird circled once above the crew,
Then vanished where no mortal pathway knew.
Before the dawn, a voice beneath the keel
Repeated every oath I had denied;
The sailors prayed, but I alone could feel
A second vessel moving at our side.
It bore no lamp, no sail, no living breath,
Only my name along its boards of death.

Unseen examination-style passage using conventions associated with Percy Bysshe Shelley:
O westward breath, unfasten from the plain
The flags of dust that tyrants called their throne;
Drive through the towers like cleansing autumn rain,
And make the guarded trumpet speak alone.
The buried seeds beneath the ruined square
Still hold a green republic in the air.
Take, then, my words as leaves before your flight;
Scatter their sparks beyond the prison wall.
Though winter writes its sentence in the night,
No season keeps dominion over all.
If one free song awakens those who hear,
The dead year turns, and spring is already near.

Unseen examination-style ode using conventions associated with John Keats:
Silent vessel, holding summer still,
You keep one lifted cup from reaching lips;
A dancer turns forever on the hill,
While no leaf withers and no daylight slips.
Yet what is joy that never meets its end,
And what is music time can never bend?
I watch until my questions lose their claim;
The figures neither answer nor depart.
Perhaps their truth is not a single name,
But many doubts held open by the heart.
Beauty remains, though mortal eyes must close;
I cannot tell if that consoles the rose.
