Accept, thou shrine of my dead saint, 137
A cloud lay cradled near the setting sun, 326
Again the violet of our early days, 248
A good that never satisfies the mind, 30
A grace though melancholy, manly too, 369
A heavenly Night! methinks to me, 341
Ah Sunflower! weary of time, 245
A hundred wings are dropt as soft as one, 365
Ah! what a weary race my feet have run, 198
Ah! what avails the sceptred race, 320
A juggler long through all the town, 166
Alexis, here she stayed; among these pines, 31
All thoughts, all passions, all delights, 234
All travellers at first incline, 160
All worldly shapes shall melt in gloom, 318
Although I enter not, 308
And are ye sure the news is true?, 186
An hour with thee!--When earliest day, 240
Another year!--another deadly blow!, 259
Art thou pale for weariness, 305
As, by some tyrant’s stern command, 163
As due by many titles, I resign, 141
As I lay asleep, as I lay asleep, 374
Ask me no more: the moon may draw the sea, 349
Ask me no more where Jove bestows, 60
Ask me why I send you here, 60
A slanting ray of evening light, 225
As near Porto-Bello lying, 169
A steed, a steed of matchless speed, 108
Avenge, O Lord, thy slaughtered saints, whose bones, 117
Awake, Æolian lyre, awake, 194
Away, let nought to love displeasing, 58
A wee bird came to our ha’ door, 173
Beat on, proud billows; Boreas, blow, 109
Beneath an Indian palm a girl, 346
Beside the covered grave, 266
Between two sister moorland rills, 270
Blest pair of Sirens, pledges of Heaven’s joy, 81
Bloom of beauty, early flower, 181
Blossom of the almond trees, 366
Burly, dozing humble-bee, 342
Busk ye, busk ye, my bonnie, bonnie bride, 189
Can I see another’s woe, 306
Can I, who have for others oft compiled, 49
Child of a day, thou knowest not, 311
Come, dear children, let us away, 327
Come live with me, and be my love, 22
Come, O Thou traveller unknown, 216
Come, Sleep, and with thy sweet deceiving, 33
Come Sleep, O Sleep, the certain knot of peace, 28
Come up from the fields, father; here’s a letter from our Pete, 359
Conceit, begotten by the eyes, 3
Condemned to Hope’s delusive mine, 207
Dear Love, let me this evening die, 184
Death, be not proud, though some have callèd thee, 142
Die down, O dismal day, and let me live, 303
E’en such is time; which takes on trust, 53
Ere, in the northern gale, 340
Fair maid, had I not heard thy baby cries, 246
Fair ship, that from the Italian shore, 368
Fair Star of Evening; Splendour of the West, 258
Fair stood the wind for France, 35
False world, good night, since thou hast brought, 42
False world, thou liest; thou canst not lend, 131
Fare well man’s dark last journey o’er the deep, 325
Farewell, too little and too lately known, 132
