How seldom, friend, a good great man inherits..
How shall I know thee in the sphere which keeps
How sleep the brave who sink to rest

I.

I am far from my hame, an' I'm weary often whiles
I arise from dreams of thee

I asked the heavens: What foe to God hath done..

329

I bring forth showers for the thirsting flowers

I cannot find thee! Still on restless pine..

367

I mourn no more my vanished years.

I saw him once before..

I sprang to the stirrup, and Joris, and he

I cannot make him dead......

I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be

I do not own an inch of land

If I had thought thou couldst have died.

I fill this cup to one made up...

If in the silence of this lonely eve..

If thou wert by my side, my love

I gazed down life's dim labyrinth.

I have ships that went to sea

I know not whence it rises

I know thou hast gone to the house of thy rest

I lay me down to sleep

I leaned out of window, I smelt the white clover

I love (and have some cause to love) the earth..

In all the land, range up, range down..

In the silent midnight watches.......

In the valley of the Pegnitz, where across broad meadow lands...

Into the silent land!

I read how, in Gethsemane

I saw her once-so freshly fair..

I saw him last on this terrace proud.

"Is it come !" they said on the border of the Nile

I think that look of Christ might seem to say.....

It is a place where poets crowned may feel the heart's decaying...

Light, everlastingly one, dwell above with the One Everlasting.
Light rued false Ferdinand to leave a lovely maid forlorn..
Like a foundling in slumber, the summer-day lay.

Likeness of heaven....

Little thinks, in the field, yon red-cloaked clown

"Live while you live!" the epicure would say..

Lochiel! Lochiel! beware of the day.
Look at me with thy large brown eyes

Maiden with the meek brown eyes

M.

Many a year is in its grave

Martha, thy maiden foot is still so light

Maud Muller, on a summer's day

Methinks it is good to be here....

Morn on the waters !--and purple and bright

[ocr errors]

My ear-rings! my ear-rings! they've dropped into the well

My friend, thou sighest for thy golden prime..

My genial spirits fail

My love, my chosen-but not mine! I send
Mysterious night! when our first parent knew

Oh, river far flowing..

Oh that those lips had language! Life has passed..

Oh! weep for Moncontour! Oh! weep for the hour

O Mary, go and call the cattle home.........

Once, upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary
One more unfortunate

One year among the angels, beloved, thou hast been

428

On parent knees, a naked new-born child

238

On the door you will not enter.....

O Saviour, whose mercy, severe in its kindness..
O thou eternal One! whose presence bright

Our bugles sang truce, for the night-cloud had lowered

O little feet! that such long years

O where shall we follow thee, Saviour beloved.
Our Lord is risen from the dead

Saviour, when in dust to Thee.

See, before us in our journey broods a mist upon the ground

T.

Tell me not in mournful numbers

The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold..

The banners of the world are each upon that wild blue wave,-

The breaking waves dashed high..

The bud is in the bough, and the leaf is in the bud.

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day

The dawn went up the sky.....
The day is done, and the darkness..
The flags of war like storm-birds fly
The grave, it is deep and soundless..
The heath this night must be my bed
The hour, the hour, the parting hour.

The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece!

The lady she sits at her window..

The little gate was reached at last..

The Lord is my shepherd, no want shall I know..

The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year......

Though the mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceeding small. 234

There are no shadows where there is no sun..

236

There is no flock, however well attended

270

There sat an old man on a rock........

214

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream..

The scene was more beautiful far to my eye....

Unhappy White! when life was in its spring..
Upon the white sea-sand........

We watched her breathing through the night
We will not weep: for God is standing by us..
What constitutes a State?

Vital spark of heavenly flame.

We are growing old-how the thought will rise
We count the broken lyres that rest...

What might it be that glance could paint?..
What saith the past to thee? Weep!....
What shall I do with all the days and hours?
What then? Why, then another pilgrim song
What was 't awakened first the untuned ear
When another life is added

Whene'er I recollect the happy time
When first I met thee, warm and young
When from the heart where Sorrow sits
When gathering clouds around I view.
When God at first made man

When I consider how my life is spent....
When Israel, of the Lord beloved...
When I was born

When marshaled on the nightly plain.
When on my ear your loss was knelled
When the British warrior queen...
When the hours of day are numbered.
When the morning, half in shadow..

When the radiant morn of creation broke.
When the uneasy waves of life subside......
While History's Muse the memorial was keeping.
Why should we faint and fear to live alone
Wild sparkling rage inflamed the Father's eyes..
Within the sober realms of leafless trees
Within this awful volume lies

[blocks in formation]

Yes, faith is a goodly anchor.

Yes, sad one of Sion, if closely resembling..
Yet are thy skies as blue, thy crags as wild.
Yet once more, O ye Laurels, and once more..
Youth, that pursuest with such eager pace....
