Glyndwr, see thy comet flaming 167
God be with the Irish host 224
God of Nations! at Thy feet 315
God of our fathers, known of old 154
God save our Lord, the King 34
Green fields of England! wheresoe’er 93
Green Flodden! on thy bloodstained head 190
Growing to full manhood now 258
Half a league, half a league 87
Harp of the mountain-land! sound forth again 166
Have done with care, my hearts! aboard amain 4
Heard ye the thunder of battle 104
He left his island home 308
Her court was pure; her life serene 83
Here, a sheer hulk, lies poor Tom Bowling 39
Here, on our native soil, we breathe once more 46
Here’s a health to the King and a lasting peace 34
Here’s a health unto His Majesty 31
How great the loss is thy loss to me 233
‘How many?’ said our good captain 108
How sleep the brave who sink to rest 36
I know ’tis but a loom of land 117
I may sit in my wee croo house 200
I’m lonesome since I cross’d the hill 43
I’m sitting on the stile, Mary 222
In all my wanderings round this world of care 211
In a quiet-water’d land, a land of roses 236
In the greyness of the dawning we have seen the pilot-star 307
In the Highlands, in the country places 195
In the ranks of the Austrian you found him 80
I remember the lowering wintry morn 295
I send to you 317
It is not to be thought of that the flood 47
It’s hame, an’ it’s hame, hame fain wad I be 193
It was a’ for our rightfu’ king 203
It wasna from a golden throne 207
I’ve heard the lark’s cry thrill the sky o’er the meadows of
Lusk 234
I’ve heard the liltin’ at our ewe-milkin’ 177
Jack dances and sings, and is always content 40
King Philip had vaunted his claims 132
