INDEX
A barking sound the shepherd hears, 120 Abide with me! fast falls the eventide, 223 Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase), 89 A chieftain to the Highlands bound, 105 Across the lonely beach, 71 A life on the ocean wave, 85 Alone I walked the ocean strand, 256 A nightingale that all day long, 34 A supercilious nabob of the East, 165 At Flores in the Azores Sir Richard Grenville lay, 246 At midnight in his guarded tent, 128 A traveller on the dusty road, 48 A well there is in the west country, 180 Ay, tear her tattered ensign down, 53
Behind him lay the Gray Azores, 169 Beneath the low-hung night cloud, 67 Bird of the wilderness, 302 Blow, blow, thou winter wind, 58 Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans, 342 Bright shone the lists, blue bent the skies, 110 Buttercups and daisies, 51 By the shores of Gitche Gumee, 79
Come, let us plant the apple-tree, 211 Come, dear children, let us away, 260 "Courage!" he said, and pointed toward the land, 231 Cupid and my Campasbe played, 235 Cupid once upon a bed, 234
Down in a green and shady bed, 27
Farewell, farewell! but this I tell,5 Fear death?—to feel the fog in my throat, 320
"Give us a song!" the soldiers cried, 64 God of our fathers, known of old, 321 Goe, soule, the bodie's guest, 283 Grow old along with me, 312
Hail to thee, blithe spirit, 268 Half a league, half a league, 107 Happy the man whose wish and care, 273 Hats off! 133 Heaven is not reached at a single bound, 117
How dear to this heart are the scenes of my childhood, 288 "How I should like a birthday!" said the child, 164 How happy is he born and taught, 220 How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, 133
I am monarch of all I survey, 190 I celebrate myself, and sing myself, 344 I chatter, chatter, as I flow, 153 I come, I come! ye have called me long, 259 If I had but two little wings, 21 I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, 9 I heard last night a little child go singing, 222 I like a church: I like a cowl, 333 "I'll tell you how the leaves came down," 12 I met a traveller from an antique land, 322 In her ear he whispers gaily, 75 In the name of the Empress of India, make way, 125 I remember, I remember, 159 I shot an arrow into the air, 3 "Isn't this Joseph's son?"—ay, it is He, 114 I sprang to the stirrup, and Joris, and he, 173 Is there, for honest poverty, 151 It is not growing like a tree, 60 It was a summer's evening, 117 It was our warship Clampherdown, 154 It was the schooner Hesperus, 138 It was the time when lilies blow, 72 I wandered lonely as a cloud, 82
John Anderson, my jo, John, 274
King Francis was a hearty king and loved a royal sport, 184 Krinken was a little child, 162
Lars Porsena of Clusium, 193 Lead kindly light, amid th' encircling gloom, 224 Let dogs delight to bark and bite, 4 Life! I know not what thou art, 299 Little drops of water, 5 Little orphant Annie's come to our house to stay, 54 Little white lily, 10
"Make way for liberty!" he cried, 296 Maxwelton braes are bonnie, 226 Merrily swinging on brier and weed, 44 Methought I heard a butterfly, 42 'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, 220 Mine be a cot beside the hill, 272 My country 'tis of thee, 228 My fairest child, I have no song to give you, 21 My good blade carves the casques of men, 253
My heart leaps up when I behold, 28 My little Mädchen found one day, 149 My mind to me a kingdom is, 286 My soul is sailing through the sea, 219 Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold, 326
Nae shoon to hide her tiny taes, 4 No stir in the air, no stir in the sea, 145 Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note, 176 Now glory to the Lord of Hosts, from whom all glories are, 179
O, a dainty plant is the ivy green, 59 O Captain! my Captain, our fearful trip is done, 57 Of all the woodland creatures, 60 Oft in the stilly night, 266 Oh where! and oh where! is your Highland laddie gone, 20 Oh, young Lochinvar is come out of the West, 103 Old Grimes is dead; that good old man, 47 "O Mary, go and call the cattle home, 271 O, may I join the choir invisible, 303 Once a dream did wave a shade, 116 Once there was a little boy, 19 Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, 289 On Linden, when the sun was low, 134 On the sea and at the Hogue, sixteen hundred ninety-two, 326 Out of the clover and blue-eyed grass, 160 Over the hill the farm-boy goes, 90 O! say can you see, by the dawn's early light, 31 O why should the spirit of mortal be proud, 323
Pussy can sit by the fire and sing, 8 Pibroch of Donuil Dhu, 126
Said the wind to the moon, "I will blow you out," 111 Sail on, sail on, O Ship of State, 227 Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled, 142 See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, 301 Serene I fold my hands and wait, 267 Shed no tear! O shed no tear, 50 She dwelt among the untrodden ways, 272 She was a phantom of delight, 305 Speak! speak! thou fearful guest, 240 Stand! the ground's your own, my braves! 63 Sunset and evening star, 124 Sweet and low, sweet and low, 27
Tell me not in mournful numbers, 218 The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold, 158
The boy stood on the burning deck, 22 The breaking waves dashed high, 229 The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, 306 The Frost looked forth, one still, clear night, 39 The gingham dog and the calico cat, 18 The God of Music dwelleth out of doors, 275 The harp that once through Tara's halls, 287 The nautilus and the ammonite, 188 The old mayor climb'd the belfry tower, 277 The Owl and the Pussy Cat went to sea, 15 The quality of mercy is not strained, 300 There came a youth upon the earth, 171 There came to port last Sunday night, 152 There lay upon the ocean's shore, 148 There was a sound of revelry by night, 177 There was never a Queen like Balkis, 7 There were three kings into the East, 83 There were three sailors of Bristol City, 41 The splendour falls on castle walls, 66 The stately homes of England, 192 The summer and autumn had been so wet, 166 The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home, 136 The world is too much with us; late and soon, 304 The year's at the spring, 6 Thirty days hath September, 7 This is the ship of pearl which, poets feign, 122 This was the noblest Roman of them all, 301 'Tis the last rose of summer, 225 T'other day as I was twining, 234 Traveller, pluck a stem of moly, 233 Triumphal arch that fills the sky, 53 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, 29 Twinkle, twinkle little star, 6
Under a spreading chestnut tree, 25 Up from the meadows rich with corn, 96 Up from the South at break of day, 68
Way down upon de Swanee ribber, 137 Wee, modest, crimson-tipped flower, 94 Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie, 92 Wee Willie Winkie rins through the town, 13 We were crowded in the cabin, 23 Whatever brawls disturb the street, 20 What is so rare as a day in June, 217 What is the voice I hear, 335 What was he doing, the great god Pan, 275 When cats run home and light is come, 40 When earth's last picture is painted, 285 When George the Third was reigning, a hundred years ago, 236
When I consider how my light is spent, 304 When Letty had scarce pass'd her third glad year, 115 Where the pools are bright and deep, 50 Wild was the night, yet a wilder night, 131 Winds of the world, give answer, 337 Woodman spare that tree, 222 Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night, 16
Ye banks and braes of bonnie Doon, 265 "You are old, Father William," the young man said, 33 You know, we French storm'd Ratisbon, 43
