A Household Book of English Poetry: Selected and Arranged with Notes
American poetry; English poetry
Fear no more the heat o’ the sun, 49
First-born of Chaos, who so fair didst come, 117
Five years have passed; five summers, with the length, 272
Forget not yet the tried intent, 15
Fresh clad from heaven in robes of white, 301
Friend faber, cast me a round hollow ball, 9
From you have I been absent in the spring, 29
Genius and its rewards are briefly told, 362
Give place, ye lovers, here before, 16
Go, empty joys, 103
Go, lovely Rose!, 62
Gone were but the winter cold, 321
Go, silly worm, drudge, trudge, and travel, 9
Go, Soul, the body’s guest, 6
Great Monarch of the world, from whose power springs, 112
Green little vaulter on the sunny grass, 247
Hail, beauteous stranger of the grove!, 176
Hail to thee, blithe Spirit, 283
Hamelin Town’s in Brunswick, 331
Happy the man, whose wish and care, 160
Happy those early days, when I, 150
Hardly we breathe, although the air be free, 232
Hast thou a charm to stay the morning star, 268
Heaven, what an age is this! what race, 92
Hence, all you vain delights, 40
Hence, loathèd Melancholy, 83
Hence, vain deluding Joys, 87
Here lies a piece of Christ; a star in dust, 135
Her sufferings ended with the day!, 378
He safely walks in darkest ways, 351
Hope, of all ills that men endure, 95
How fresh, oh Lord, how sweet and clean, 79
How happy is he born and taught, 57
How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, 175
How soon doth man decay!, 149
How wisely Nature did decree, 76
I do confess thou ’rt smooth and fair, 18
If all the world and Love were young, 23
If aught of oaten stop, or pastoral song, 177
If, dumb too long, the drooping Muse hath stayed, 201
If I had thought thou could’st have died, 305
If the base violence of wicked men, 352
If thou wilt ease thine heart, 301
If to be absent were to be, 107
If women could be fair, and yet not fond, 16
I give thee treasures hour by hour, 351
I hear no more the locust beat, 347
I love to rise ere gleams the tardy light, 229
I mourn no more my vanished years, 386
I’m wearing awa’, John, 211
In May, when sea-winds pierced our solitudes, 356
In this marble buried lies, 134
In this marble casket lies, 130
In vain to me the smiling mornings shine, 180
I press not to the choir, nor dare I greet, 78
I saw where in the shroud did lurk, 309
Is this the spot where Rome’s eternal foe, 251
I stood within the grave’s o’er-shadowing vault, 384
I thought to meet no more, so dreary seemed, 321
It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, 231
It is not beauty I demand, 61
It is not growing like a tree, 35
I’ve heard them lilting at our ewe-milking, 172
I was thy neighbour once, thou rugged Pile, 294
I weigh not fortune’s frown or smile, 45
I were unkind unless that I did shed, 136
I will not praise the often-flattered rose, 231
I wish I were where Helen lies, 67
Jerusalem, my happy home, 54
Joy for the promise of our loftier homes, 345
Lady, I bid thee to a sunny dome, 249
