Prayer
Lo! In Thine Honest Eyes I Read
Though Deep Indifference Should Drowse
My Heart, when First the Black-Bird Sings
I Dreamed of Forest Alleys Fair
St. Martin's Summer
Dedication
The Old Chimaeras, Old Receipts
Prelude
The Vanquished Knight
To the Commissioners of Northern Lights
The Relic Taken, what Avails the Shrine
About the Sheltered Garden Ground
After Reading "Antony and Cleopatra"
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
Duddingstone
Stout Marches Lead to Certain Ends
Away with Funeral Music
To Sydney
Had I the Power that have the Will
O Dull Cold Northern Sky
Apologetic Postscript of a Year Later
To Marcus
To Ottilie
This Gloomy Northern Day
The Wind is Without There and Howls in the Trees
A Valentine's Song
Hail! Childish Slaves of Social Rules
Swallows Travel to and Fro
To Mesdames Zassetsky and Garschine
To Madame Garschine
Music at the Villa Marina
Fear Not, Dear Friend, but Freely Live Your Days
Let Love Go, If Go she Will
I Do Not Fear to Own Me Kin
I Am Like One that for Long Days had Sate
Voluntary
On Now, Although the Year Be Done
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
Small is the Trust when Love is Green
Know You the River Near to Grez
It's Forth Across the Roaring Foam
An English Breeze
As in Their Flight the Birds of Song
The Piper
To Mrs. Macmarland
To Miss Cornish
Tales of Arabia
Behold, as Goblins Dark of Mien
Still I Love to Rhyme
Long Time I Lay in Little Ease
Flower God, God of the Spring
Come, My Beloved, Hear from Me
Since Years Ago for Evermore

For Richmond's Garden Wall
Hail, Guest, and Enter Freely!
Lo, Now, My Guest
So Live, So Love, So Use that Fragile Hour
Ad Se Ipsum

Go, Little Book - The Ancient Phrase
My Love was Warm
Dedicatory Poem for "Underwoods"
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

The Vanquished Knight

I HAVE left all upon the shameful field,

Honour and Hope, my God, and all but life;

Spurless, with sword reversed and dinted shield,

Degraded and disgraced, I leave the strife.

From him that hath not, shall there not be taken

E'en that he hath, when he deserts the strife?

Life left by all life's benefits forsaken,

O keep the promise, Lord, and take the life.
