American poetry; English poetry
Lady, that in the prime of earliest youth, 76
Last night, among his fellow roughs, 354
Lay a garland on my hearse, 34
Let him that will, ascend the tottering seat, 129
Like as a huntsman after weary chase, 21
Like as the damask rose you see, 48
Like to Diana in her summer weed, 24
Little charm of placid mien, 183
Look how the flower which lingeringly doth fade, 31
Lord, come away, 158
Lord, in this dust thy sovereign voice, 383
Mary! I want a lyre with other strings, 199
Methinks it is good to be here, 315
Methought his royal person did foretell, 101
Methought I saw the grave where Laura lay, 21
Misdeeming eye! that stoopeth to the lure, 41
Mortality, behold and fear!, 50
Most glorious Lord of life, that on this day, 53
My dear and only Love, I pray, 105
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains, 285
My once dear Love! hapless that I no more, 65
My parents bow, and lead them forth, 363
My prime of youth is but a frost of cares, 52
My soul, there is a country, 152
Mysterious Night! when our first parent knew, 326
Nobly, nobly Cape St. Vincent to the North-west died away, 367
Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note, 259
No victor that in battle spent, 125
O blithe new-comer! I have heard, 220
Obscurest night involved the sky, 209
October’s gold is dim--the forests rot, 302
O dread was the time, and more dreadful the omen, 265
Of all the thoughts of God that are, 323
Of Nelson and the North, 254
Oft in the stilly night, 300
O Goddess, hear these tuneless numbers, wrung, 243
Oh faint, delicious, spring-time violet, 350
Oh how much more doth beauty beauteous seem, 30
Oh, it is pleasant, with a heart at ease, 230
Oh, lead me not in Pleasure’s train, 313
Oh to be in England, 366
Oh welcome, bat and owlet gray, 238
Oh! wherefore come ye forth, in triumph from the North, 251
‘O lady, thy lover is dead,’ they cried, 364
O little feet! that such long years, 363
O Mary, go and call the cattle home, 377
O melancholy bird!--A winter’s day, 247
Once a dream did weave a shade, 228
Once did She hold the gorgeous East in fee, 258
Once, in the flight of ages past, 223
On Linden, when the sun was low, 256
O perfect Light, which shaid away, 10
O Reader! hast thou ever stood to see, 224
O Rose, who dares to name thee?, 307
O Time! who know’st a lenient hand to lay, 230
O trifling toys that toss the brains, 1
Our life is only death! time that ensu’th, 141
Over the mountains, 69
O waly, waly up the bank, 66
O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn’s being, 283
O Winter, wilt thou never, never go?, 303
Philosophy! the great and only heir, 120
Poor Soul, the centre of my sinful earth, 46
Praised be Diana’s fair and harmless light, 34
Preserve thy sighs, unthrifty girl, 108
Proud Maisie is in the wood, 240
Rise, said the Master, come unto the feast, 382
River is time in water; as it came, 99
Rose-cheeked Laura, come, 24
Roses, their sharp spines being gone, 26
