Approximately two hundred poems are featured, including On the Power of Sound, the sequence of Evening Voluntaries, and the poet's tributes to the dead, such as those to Sir George Beaumont, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, James Hogg, Charles Lamb, Owen Lloyd, and Robert Southey.

Lost Poems provides reading texts of all the poems in their earliest finished versions, variant readings from all surviving manuscript and print forms over which the poet exercised control, Wordsworth's and the editors' notes to each of the poems, and photographs and transcriptions of selected manuscripts.
