Life and thought have gone away
Life, I know not what thou art

Life may be given in many ways
Light-winged smoke! Icarian bird

Like a poet hidden

Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore .

Like to the clear in highest sphere.

Lithe and listen, gentlemen.

Little I ask, my wants are few
Little was King Laurin

Lochiel, Lochiel, beware of the day

"Lo," quoth he, "Cast up thine eye"

Lo! on his far resounding path

Look not thou on beauty's charming

Lord, when I quit this earthly stage

Lord, with what care hast thou begirt us round
Loud is the vale, the voice is up
Love is a sickness full of woes
Low-anchored cloud

Lo, when the Lord made North and South
Lo, where she comes along with portly pace

Macbeth is ripe for shaking

Man, thee behooveth oft to have this in mind
Man wants but little here below
Men have done brave deeds

Merciful Heaven!

[ocr errors]

Merry it is in the good green wood

Methought I heard a voice cry, "Sleep no more
Methinks it is good to be here

Milton, thou shouldst be living at this hour
Mine eyes have seen the glory

Mine honesty and I begin to square

Most potent, grave, and reverend signiors
Motions and means, on land and sea at war
Mournfully, sing mournfully.

Mourn, hills and groves of Attica

[ocr errors]

Much have I travelled in the realms of gold
My dear and only love, I pray

My gentle Puck, come hither

My God, I heard this day

My liege, I did deny no prisoners.

My lord, you told me you would tell the rest
My mind to me a kingdom is.

My mistress's eyes are nothing like the sun

My mother, when I learned that thou wast dead
Mysterious night! when our first parent knew

Naked on parents' knees, a new-born child.
Nature is made better by no mean
Nay, you wrong her, my friend

Needy knife-grinder, whither are you going?
Night is fair Virtue's immemorial friend
No abbey's gloom, nor dark cathedral stoops
No! is my answer from this cold bleak ridge
No man is the lord of any thing.

No more, no more, Oh! never more on me
Northward he turneth through a little door
No screw, no piercer can.

No splendor 'neath the sky's proud dome
Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note
Not mine own fears nor the prophetic soul
Nought loves another as itself

November chill blaws loud wi' angry sugh
Now deeper roll the maddening drums
Now haud your tongue

Now is the time for mirth

Now is the winter of our discontent.
Now Nature hangs her mantle green

Now overhead a rainbow bursting through

Now ponder well, you parents dear
Now wol I turn unto my tale agen

O Brignall Banks are wild and fair

O dark, dark, dark, amid the blaze of noon
O dear, dear Jeanie Morrison!

O divine star of heaven

O draw me, Father, after thee

O'er the glad waters of the dark blue sea
O'er western tides the fair spring day
Of a' the airts the wind can blaw

Of all the rides since the birth of time

Of Nelson and the North

O for my sake do you with fortune chide
Often trifling with a privilege

Oft in the stilly night

Of truth, of grandeur, beauty, love, and hope
Oft when returning with her loaded bill

O heavens, if you do love old men

O heard ye yon pibroch sound sad in the gale?
Oh, go not yet, my love

Oh, have ye na heard o' the fause Sakelde

Oh, how much more doth beauty beauteous seem
Oh, lovely Mary Donnelly, it's you I love the best
O how canst thou renounce the boundless store
O how feeble is man's power

Oh, weel may the boatie row

OI have passed a miserable night

O joy hast thou a face.

O keeper of the sacred key

O listen, listen, ladies gay

Old wine to drink

O Lord, in me there lieth nought

O messenger, art thou the king, or I?
O my luve's like a red, red rose.
Once git a smell o' musk into a draw
Once more, Cesario

Once we built our fortress where
On the mountain peak.

you see

O never rudely will I blame his faith

One day, nigh weary of the irksome way
On Linden, when the sun was low

O Proserpina.

Or if the soul of proper kind.

Orpheus with his lute made trees

O Sacred Providence, who from end to end

O than the fairest day thrice fairer night
Oh that last day in Lucknow fort

O that we now had here

O the days are gone when beauty bright

O then what soul was his, when, on the tops
O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you
O thou goddess

O thou who in the heavens dost dwell

O thou that swing'st upon the waving ear

O! 'tis wondrous much

.

Our boat to the waves go free

Our brethren of New England use

Round my own pretty rose.

Ruin seize thee, ruthless king

Rumble thy belly full! spit fire! spout rain!

Run, shepherds, run where Bethlehem blest appears

Say to me, whose fortunes shall rise higher

Say, what is Honor?

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled

See how the Orient dew.

See living vales by living waters blest

See the chariot at hand here of love

See yonder souls set far within the shade
Send us your prisoners, or you'll hear of it.
Shake off your heavy trance

Shall I, wasting in despair?

She, of whose soul, if we may say, 'twas gold.
She's gane to dwell in heaven, my lassie
She walks in beauty, like the night

Since our country our God--Ŏh, my sire!
Since the sun

Sing, and let your song be new

Sing, O Goddess, the wrath, the ontamable dander
of Keitt

Sitting in my window

Sleep is like death, and after sleep
Sleep sweetly in your humble graves
Slow, slow fresh fount, keep time
So am I as the rich, whose blessed key
So every spirit as it is most pure
So fallen! so lost! the light withdrawn
Soft you; a word or two before you go
So Saturn, as he walked into the midst

So, when their feet were planted on the plain
Spring all the graces of the age

St. Mark's hushed abbey heard

Star of the flowers and flower of the stars

Still to be neat, still to be drest

Svend Vonved binds his sword to his side.

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright

Sweet echo, sweetest nymph that liv'st unseen
Sweetness, truth, and every grace

Sweet peace, where dost thou dwell.

Sweet scented flower, who art wont to bloom

The birds against the April wind
The breaking waves dashed high
The bush that has most briars and bitter fruit
The clouds are flying, the woods are sighing
The convent-bells are ringing

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day

The daughter of a king, how should I know?.
The despot's heel is on thy shore.

The destiny, minister general

The earth goes on, the earth glittering in gold
The færy beam upon you

The feathered songster Chanticleer
The flighty purpose never is o'ertook
The garlands wither on your brow

The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices

The gods be your terror

The harp that once through Tara's halls
The house of Chivalry decayed
The king called his best archers

The king is full of grace and fair regard

The king is kind; and well we know
The king sits in Dunfermline town
The king was on his throne

The Lord descended from above
The melancholy days are come
The merry world did on a day

The minstrels played their Christmas tune
The moon is up, and yet it is not night
The Moorish king rides up and down
The muse doth tell me where to borrow

The old man said, "Take thou this shield, my son'

The old mayor climbed the belfry tower
The owl is abroad, the bat, the toad
The pines were dark on Ramoth hill

There are points from which we can command our life P. BAILEY
There came to Cameliard

The recluse hermit ofttimes more doth know.

There in the fane a beauteous creature stands

There is a history in all men's lives

There is a mystery in the soul of state
There is an island on a river lying

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods
There is a stream, I name not its name
There is a tide in the affairs of men
There is a Yew-tree, pride of Lorton Vale
There like a rich and golden pyramid.
"There is no God," the wicked saith
There's a flag hangs over my threshold
There where death's brief pang was quickest.
There was a boy; ye knew him well, ye cliffs
There was a king that much might

[ocr errors]

There was a laughing devil in his sneer
There was a sound of revelry by night

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream.
Ther is right at the West side of Itaille

The sea rolls vaguely, and the stars are dumb
The shadow on the dial's face

.

The sky is changed; and such a change
The snows arise; and foul and fierce
The spacious firmament on high

The spirits I have raised abandon me
The splendor falls on castle walls.
The stars above will make thee known
The tent-lights glimmer on the land
The unearthly voices ceased
The wanton troopers riding by

The weather leech of the topsail shivers.
The Wildgrave winds his bugle-horn
The wind it blew, and the ship it flew

The wintry west extends his blast
The woods decay, the woods decay and fail.
They made her a grave too cold and damp
They told me I was heir: I turned in haste
They that never had the use
Think we King Harry strong
This ae night, this ae night

This army led by a delicate and tender prince
This bright wood-fire

This castle hath a pleasant seat; the air
This knight a doughter hadde by his wif
This morning, timely rapt with holy fire
Thou art not gone, being gone
Thou blossom bright with autumn dew
Though the day of my destiny's over

Thou hast learned the woes of all the world
Thou hast sworn by thy God, my Jeannie
Thou hidden love of God! whose height
Thou that art our queen again

Thou that hast a daughter

[ocr errors]

Thou that hast given so much to me.

Thou wast not born for death, immortal bird!

Thou whose sweet youth and early hopes enhance.
Three days through sapphire seas we sailed
Three poets in three distant ages born

Three score o' nobles rade up the king's ha'
Three years she grew in sun and shower.
Thy braes were bonny, yarrow stream.
Thy voice is heard through rolling drums
Tiger! Tiger! burning bright

Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back
Tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep
'Tis madness to resist or blame

'Tis night, and the landscape is lovely no more.

'Tis not every day that I

'Tis not in battles that from youth we train

"Tis truth, although this truth's a star

To be furious

To beguile the time

To be no more- sad cure

To be or not to be, that is the question

To fair Fidele's grassy tomb

To heroism and holiness

Toiling in the naked fields
