INDEX OF FIRST LINES.

A baby was sleeping..

A barking sound the shepherd hears.
Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase !).
Accept, thou shrine of my dead saint.
A chieftain, to the Highlands bound.
Across the narrow beach we flit.

A cypress-bough and a rose-wreath sweet.
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever.
Afar in the desert I love to ride.
A fig for St. Denis of France..
Again I sit within the mansion.
A good sword and a trusty hand,

A good that never satisfies the mind.

A grace though melancholy, manly too.
Ah, little ranting Johnny.

Ah! love, impute it not to me a sin.
Ah, lovely appearance of death..

Ah me! full sorely is my heart forlorn.

Ah me! this is a sad and silent city.

Ah my heart is weary waiting.

Ah, my Perilla! dost thou grieve to see.

A host of angels flying.

Ask me no more: the moon may draw the sea. Tennyson, 300
As o'er his furrowed fields, which lie..
As slow our ship her foamy track...
A steed! a steed of matchlesse speed
As through the land at eve we went...
A street there is in Paris famous
A sweet disorder in the dress.

A thousand miles from land are we..
At midnight, in his guarded tent..
At Paris it was, at the opera there.

Avenge, O Lord, thy slaughtered saints.

Away! let naught to love displeasing.

A weary lot is thine, fair maid..

A wee bird came to our ha' door..
A wet sheet and a flowing sea
Ay, this is freedom-these pure skies.

Balder, the white sun-god, has departed.
Balow, my babe, ly stil and sleipe..

Beautiful Evelyn Hope is dead..

Before the starry threshold of Jove's court.
Behold her, single in the field..
Behold the young, the rosy Spring.
Behold this ruin! 'Twas a skull..
Ben Battle was a soldier bold.

Beneath this stony roof reclined.

Captain, or colonel, or knight in arms.

Ca' the yowes to the knowes.
Cheekas soft as July peaches.
Children are what mothers are.
Christmas is here....

Clang, clang! the massive anvils ring
Close his eyes; his work is done

Cold in the earth, and the deep snow piled

Come away, come away, death.

Come back, come back together..
Come, dear children, let us away.
Come down, ye graybeard mariners.
Come, follow, follow me..
Come from my first, ay, come!
Come, golden evening, in the west..
Come in the evening, or come in the
Come into the garden, Maud
Come listen to me, you gallants so free.
Come live with me, and be my love.
Come, lovely and soothing Death
Come, my way, my truth, my life..

Come, O Thou traveller unknown.

Come, said Jesus' sacred voice.

God is the refuge of his saints.

God makes sech nights, all white an' still
God moves in a mysterious way
God prosper long our noble king.
God save our gracious king

God sends his teachers unto every age.

God shield ye, heralds of the spring.
God, who the universe doth hold
Goe, soul, the bodie's guest.
Go, lovely rose !

Go now! and with some daring drug.
Good-bye, good-bye to Summer!.
Good bye, proud world! I'm going home.
Good-morrow to thy sable beak.
Good muse, rock me asleep..
Good people all, of every sort..
Good people all, with one accord.
Go, sit by the summer sea.
Go to dark Gethsemane..

I cannot make him dead.

If aught of oaten stop, or pastoral song.
I feel a newer life in every gale..
If I desire with pleasant songs.
If I leave all for thee, wilt thou.
I fill this cup to one made up..

If it be true that any beauteous thing.

If that the world and love were young.
If the red slayer think he slays.

In summer, when the days were long..

In this world, the isle of dreams

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan..
In yonder dim and pathless wood.

It was the calm and silent night..

It was the schooner Hesperus..

It was the season when thro' all the land.

I wandered by the brook-side..
