About This Book

A wide-ranging collection of verse that moves from brief lyric and pastoral pieces to extended narrative and dramatic sequences. The poems examine religious doubt and biblical subjects alongside intimate scenes of nature, domestic life, and urban encounter, alternating tenderness with ironic distance. Several long compositions employ dialogue and shifting voices to probe conscience and belief, while other pieces experiment with classical metres and translations. The sequence balances meditative reflection, social observation, and travel sketches, offering a mixture of formal experimentation and plainspoken narrative that foregrounds moral questioning, emotional restraint, and the search for truth.

INDEX
OF
THE FIRST LINES.

PAGE
A Highland inn among the western hills 384
A youth and maid upon a summer night 352
A youth was I. An elder friend with me 325
Across the sea, along the shore 94
Ah, blame him not because he’s gay! 431
Am I with you, or you with me? 410
And replying, said godlike, swift-footed Achilles 418
As, at a railway junction, men 35
As ships, becalmed at eve, that lay 38
Away, haunt thou not me 11
Beside me,—in the car,—she sat 260
Blessed are those who have not seen 90
Bright October was come, the misty-bright October 236
But a revulsion again came over the spirit of Elspie 245
But if as not by that the soul desired 321
But that from slow dissolving pomps of dawn 430
But whether in the uncoloured light of truth 320
Cease, empty Faith, the Spectrum saith 89
Come back again, my olden heart! 8
Come back, come back, behold with straining mast 404
Come home, come home! and where is home for me 403
Come, Poet, come! 427
Dance on, dance on, we see, we see 432
Dear Eustatio, I write that you may write me an answer 269
Dearest of boys, please come to-day 329
Diogenes by his tub, contenting himself with the sunshine 442
Duty—that’s to say, complying 181
Each for himself is still the rule 183
Eastward, or Northward, or West? I wander and ask as I wander 305
Edward and Jane a married couple were 374
Farewell, farewell! Her vans the vessel tries 401
Farewell, my Highland lassie! when the year returns around 29
For she confessed, as they sat in the dusk, and he saw not her blushes 239
From thy far sources, ’mid mountains airily climbing 422
Go, foolish thoughts, and join the throng 436
Goddess, the anger sing of the Pelean Achilles 417
Green fields of England! wheresoe’er 404
Hearken to me, ye mothers of my tent 69
Here am I yet, another twelvemonth spent 12
Hope evermore and believe, O man, for e’en as thy thought 188
How in God’s name did Columbus get over 437
How often sit I, poring o’er 14
I dreamed a dream: I dreamt that I espied 96
I have seen higher, holier things than these 19
I saw again the spirits on a day 186
I stayed at La Quenille, ten miles or more 361
If it is thou whose casual hand withdraws 321
If that we thus are guilty doth appear 434
If, when in cheerless wanderings, dull and cold 20
In controversial foul impureness 93
Is it illusion? or does there a spirit from perfecter ages 280
Is it this, then, O world-warrior 448
Is it true, ye gods, who treat us 39
It fortifies my soul to know 90
It is not sweet content, be sure 430
It may be true 91
It was but some few nights ago 3
It was the afternoon; and the sports were now at the ending 201
I’ve often wondered how it is, at times 371
Light words they were, and lightly, falsely said 34
Like a child 14
Lips, lips, open! 440
Lo, here is God, and there is God! 81
Matthew and Mark and Luke and holy John 95
Morn, in yellow and white, came broadening out from the mountains 207
My beloved, is it nothing 443
My sons, and ye children of my sons 74
My wind is turned to bitter north 18
O God! O God! and must I still go on 171
O happy mother!—while the man wayworn 439
O happy they whose hearts receive 189
O kind protecting Darkness! as a child 15
O let me love my love unto myself alone 87
O only Source of all our light and life 85
O richly soiled and richly sunned 446
O ship, ship, ship 413
O stream descending to the sea 196
O tell me, friends, while yet we part 36
O Thou whose image in the shrine 86
Oh, the beautiful child! and oh, the most happy mother! 442
‘Old things need not be therefore true’ 93
On grass, on gravel, in the sun 260
On the mountain, in the woodland 31
Once more the wonted road I tread 16
Or shall I say, Vain word, false thought 452
Over a mountain slope with lentisk, and with abounding 423
Over every hill 441
Over the great windy waters, and over the clear-crested summits 269
Put forth thy leaf, thou lofty plane 197
Roused by importunate knocks 15
Said the Poet, I wouldn’t maintain 438
Say not the struggle nought availeth 452
Say, will it, when our hairs are grey 190
Shall I decide it by a random shot? 322
Since that last evening we have fallen indeed! 43
Slumber and Sleep, two brothers appointed to serve the immortals 441
So I went wrong 7
So in the cottage with Adam the pupils five together 232
So in the golden morning they parted and went to the westward 215
So in the golden weather they waited. But Philip returned not 224
So in the sinful streets, abstracted and alone 104
So on the morrow’s morrow, with Term-time dread returning 250
So spake the voice: and as with a single life 423
Some future day when what is now is not 406
Sweet streamlet bason! at thy side 10
That children in their loveliness should die 319
That out of sight is out of mind 409
That there are better things within the womb 319
The grasses green of sweet content 193
The human spirits saw I on a day 185
The mighty ocean rolls and raves 407
The scene is different, and the place, the air 109
The Silver Wedding! on some pensive ear 20
The skies have sunk, and hid the upper snow 259
There is a city, upbuilt on the quays of the turbulent Arno 309
These are the words of Jacob’s wives, the words 77
Thou shalt have one God only; who 184
Though to the vilest things beneath the moon 12
Thought may well be ever ranging 25
Through the great sinful streets of Naples as I past 100
To see the rich autumnal tint depart 320
To spend uncounted years of pain 91
To think that men of former days 428
To wear out heart, and nerves, and brain 182
Trunks the forest yielded with gums ambrosial oozing 422
Truth is a golden thread, seen here and there 6
’Twas on a sunny summer day 5
Upon the water, in the boat 195
Well, well,—Heaven bless you all from day to day! 13
Were I with you, or you with me 411
Were you with me, or I with you 410
Were you with me, or I with you 412
What voice did on my spirit fall 450
What we, when face to face we see 92
Whate’er you dream with doubt possest 194
When on the primal peaceful blank profound 442
When panting sighs the bosom fill 26
When soft September brings again 10
When the dews are earliest falling 30
Whence are ye, vague desires 191
Whence comest thou, shady lane? and why and how? 8
Where lies the land to which the ship would go? 407
Who is this man that walketh in the field 72
Who ne’er his bread with tears hath ate 441
Why should I say I see the things I see not? 23
Ye flags of Piccadilly 402
Yes, I have lied, and so must walk my way 13
Yet to the wondrous St. Peter’s, and yet to the solemn Rotonda 293
You complain of the woman for roving from one to another 441
Youth, that went, is come again 434

THE END.
