About This Book

A compact collection of short lyrical poems that meditate on memory, seasonal change, love, and the natural world. Many pieces adopt an elegiac or contemplative tone, turning riverbanks, cliffs, gardens, and the sea into prompts for reflection on loss, longing, and the persistence of feeling. The verse mixes concise narrative moments, personified elements, and formal lyrical rhythms, producing musical and measured language. Poems are presented in grouped sections alongside newly gathered pieces and editorial notes, yielding a varied sequence of brief, reflective lyrics and conversational vignettes.

INDEX

INDEX OF FIRST LINES

PAGE
A cottage built of native stone 272
Again with pleasant green 61
All women born 40
An effigy of brass 262
Angel spirits of sleep 145
A poppy grows upon the shore 26
Ariel, O,—my angel, my own 165
A song of my heart 191
Assemble, all ye maidens 34
Awake, my heart, to be loved 113
A winter’s night with the snow about 101
Beautiful must be the mountains 189
Because thou canst not see 93
Behold! the radiant Spring 66
Beneath the wattled bank 223
Betwixt two billows 169
Bright, my belovèd, be thy day 287
Christ and his Mother 194
Clear and gentle stream 9
Cold is the winter day 183
Crown Winter with green 160
Dear lady, when thou frownest 22
Fire of heaven, whose starry arrow 143
Flame-throated robin 185
Gay Robin is seen no more 131
Hark! the world is full 289
Hark to the merry birds 128
Haste on, my joys 95
His poisoned shafts 38
How well my eyes 227
I climb the mossy bank 237
I found to-day out walking 25
I have loved flowers that fade 80
I have sown upon the fields 267
I heard a linnet courting 20
I know not how I came 50
I love all beauteous things 123
I love my lady’s eyes 115
I made another song 32
I never shall love the snow again 187
In the golden glade 201
In this May-month 181
I praise the tender flower 99
I saw the Virgin-mother 48
I stand on the cliff 89
I will not let thee go 23
I wish’d to sing thy grace 258
Joy, sweetest lifeborn joy 108
Let praise devote thy work 160
Let us, as by this verdant bank 57
Long are the hours the sun is above 28
Look down the river 218
Look! look! the spring is come 203
Love not too much 172
Love on my heart from heaven fell 137
Man hath with man 211
My bed and pillow are cold 103
My delight and thy delight 241
My eyes for beauty pine 134
My spirit kisseth thine 163
My spirit sang all day 124
Now all the windows 243
Now thin mists temper 175
O bold majestic downs 59
O golden Sun, whose ray 77
O Love, I complain 232
O Love, my muse 135
O my vague desires 85
O thou unfaithful 104
O youth whose hope is high 119
Perfect little body 91
Poor withered rose 14
Riding adown the country lanes 247
Sad, sombre place 71
Say who is this with silvered hair 158
See, whirling snow 180
Sense with keenest edge unusèd 249
Since thou, O fondest and truest 117
Since to be loved endures 174
Since we loved 256
Sometimes when my lady sits by me 27
So sweet love seemed 178
Spirit of grace and beauty 265
Spring goeth all in white 133
The birds that sing on autumn eves 150
The cliff-top has a carpet 16
The clouds have left the sky 127
The day begins to droop 254
The evening darkens over 118
The full moon from her cloudless skies 112
The green corn waving in the dale 139
The hill pines were sighing 138
The idle life I lead 144
The lonely season 251
The north wind came up 198
The pinks along my garden walks 142
The saddest place 275
The south wind rose 234
There is a hill 53
There was no lad handsomer 205
The sea keeps not 245
The snow lies sprinkled on the beach 161
The storm is over 154
The summer trees are tempest-torn 149
The upper skies are palest blue 126
The wood is bare 12
Thou didst delight my eyes 106
To my love I whisper 239
Voyaging northwards 282
Wanton with long delay 130
Weep not to-day 207
We left the city when the summer day 96
What is sweeter than new-mown hay 147
What voice of gladness 179
When Death to either shall come 257
When first we met 39
When June is come 141
When men were all asleep 87
When my love was away 152
Wherefore to-night so full of care 75
Whither, O splendid ship 46
Who has not walked upon the shore 30
Why art thou sad 259
Why hast thou nothing 260
Will Love again awake 43
Ye thrilled me once 157
