Lo! In Thine Honest Eyes I Read

The Old Chimaeras, Old Receipts
Prelude
The Vanquished Knight
To the Commissioners of Northern Lights
The Relic Taken, what Avails the Shrine

I Know Not How, but as I Count
Spring Song
The Summer Sun Shone Round Me
You Looked So Tempting in the Pew
Love's Vicissitudes

Stout Marches Lead to Certain Ends
Away with Funeral Music

In the Green and Gallant Spring
Death, to the Dead for Evermore
To Charles Baxter
I who All the Winter Through
Love, what is Love
Soon Our Friends Perish
As One who Having Wandered All Night Long
Strange are the Ways of Men
The Wind Blew Shrill and Smart
Man Sails the Deep Awhile
The Cock's Clear Voice into the Clearer Air
Now when the Number of My Years
What Man May Learn, what Man May Do

Know You the River Near to Grez
It's Forth Across the Roaring Foam
An English Breeze

The Piper

Farewell
The Far-Farers
Home, My Little Children, Here are Songs for You
Come from the Daisied Meadows
Early in the Morning I Hear on Your Piano
Fair Isle at Sea
Loud and Low in the Chimney
I Love to Be Warm by the Red Fireside
At Last she Comes
Mine Eyes Were Swift to Know Thee
Fixed is the Doom
Men are Heaven's Piers
The Angler Rose, he Took His Rod
Spring Carol
To what Shall I Compare Her
When the Sun Comes After Rain
Late, O Miller
To Friends at Home
I, Whom Apollo Sometime Visited
Tempest Tossed and Sore Afflicted

Mine Eyes Were Swift to Know Thee

MINE eyes were swift to know thee, and my heart

As swift to love. I did become at once

Thine wholly, thine unalterably, thine

In honourable service, pure intent,

Steadfast excess of love and laughing care:

And as she was, so am, and so shall be.

I knew thee helpful, knew thee true, knew thee

And Pity
