Benign shooting stars, ecstatic delight
Bright cloud of reverence, sufferably bright
Britons! when last ye met, with distant streak

Charles! my slow heart was only sad, when first
Child of my muse! in Barbour's gentle hand.
Come, come thou bleak December wind
Come hither, gently rowing

Cupid, if storying Legends tell aright

Dear Charles! whilst yet thou wert a babe, I ween
Dear native Brook! wild Streamlet of the West
Dear tho' unseen! tho' I have left behind

Deep in the gulph of Vice and Woe.

Depart in joy from this world's noise and strife

Dim Hour! that sleep'st on pillowing clouds afar

Do you ask what the birds say? The Sparrow, the Dove
Dormi, Jesu! Mater ridet

Each crime that once estranges from the virtues

Earth! thou mother of numberless children, the nurse and the

mother

Edmund! thy grave with aching eye I scan

Encinctured with a twine of leaves

Ere on my bed my limbs I lay (1803)
Ere on my bed my limbs I lay (1806)
Ere Sin could blight or Sorrow fade

Ere the birth of my life, if I wished it or no

Farewell, parental scenes! a sad farewell

Farewell, sweet Love! yet blame you not my truth

Fear no more, thou timid Flower

'Fie, Mr. Coleridge !-and can this be you?

Flowers are lovely, Love is flower-like

For ever in the world of Fame.

Frail creatures are we all! To be the best

Friend, Lover, Husband, Sister, Brother.

Friend of the wise! and Teacher of the Good.

Friend pure of heart and fervent! we have learnt
From his brimstone bed at break of day

Gently I took that which ungently came.
Γνῶθι σεαυτόν !—and is this the prime
Go little Pipe! for ever I must leave thee

God be with thee, gladsome Ocean

God is our Strength and our Refuge

God's child in Christ adopted,-Christ my all.

Good verse most good, and bad verse then seems better

Great goddesses are they to lazy folks

Hail! festal Easter that dost bring.
Hast thou a charm to stay the morning-star
He too has flitted from his secret nest
Hear, my belovéd, an old Milesian story

Hear, sweet Spirit, hear the spell

Heard'st thou yon universal cry

Hence, soul-dissolving Harmony

Hence that fantastic wantonness of woe

Hence! thou fiend of gloomy sway

His native accents to her stranger's ear

How seldom, friend! a good great man inherits
'How sweet, when crimson colours dart.

I ask'd my fair one happy day

Her attachment may differ from yours in degree
Here lies a Poet; or what once was he
High o'er the rocks at night I rov'd.
High o'er the silver rocks I rov'd

His own fair countenance, his kingly forehead
How long will ye round me be swelling.

How warm this woodland wild Recess
Hush! ye clamorous Cares! be mute

I from the influence of thy Looks receive

I have experienced the worst the world can wreak on me

[blocks in formation]

I know it is dark; and though I have lain

I know 'tis but a dream, yet feel more anguish

I love, and he loves me again

I mix in life, and labour to seem free

[blocks in formation]

I stand alone, nor tho' my heart should break.

If thou wert here, these tears were tears of light

Julia was blest with beauty, wit, and grace

Kayser to whom, as to a second self
Know'st thou the land where the pale citrons grow

Lady, to Death we're doom'd, our crime the same
Lest after this life it should prove my sad story
Let clumps of earth, however glorified
Let Eagle bid the Tortoise sunward soar

Let those whose low delights to Earth are given

Like a lone Arab, old and blind

Lo! through the dusky silence of the groves

Lovely gens of radiance meek.

Low was our pretty Cot! our tallest Rose

Maid of my Love, sweet Genevieve.

Maid of unboastful charms! whom white-robed Truth

Maiden, that with sullen brow

Mark this holy chapel well

Matilda! I have heard a sweet tune played

Mild Splendour of the various-vested Night

Mourn, Israel! Sons of Israel, mourn

Much on my early youth I love to dwell.

My eyes make pictures, when they are shut

My heart has thanked thee, Bowles! for those soft strains

My Lord! though your Lordship repel deviation

My Lesbia, let us love and live.

My Maker! of thy power the trace

My pensive Sara! thy soft cheek reclined

Once could the Morn's first beams, the healthful breeze

Once more! sweet Stream! with slow foot wandering near

Some, Thelwall! to the Patriot's meed aspire
Songs of Shepherds and rustical Roundelays
Southey! thy melodies steal o'er mine ear
Spirit who sweepest the wild Harp of Time
Splendour's fondly-fostered child

Stanhope! I hail, with ardent Hymn, thy name
Stop, Christian passer-by!-Stop, child of God
Stranger! whose eyes a look of pity shew

Stretch'd on a moulder'd Abbey's broadest wall

Strong spirit-bidding sounds

Strongly it bears us along in swelling and limitless billows

Such love as mourning Husbands have

Sweet flower! that peeping from thy russet stem

Sweet Gift! and always doth Elisa send

Sweet Mercy! how my very heart has bled

Sweet Muse! companion of my every hour

Tell me, on what holy ground.
That darling of the Tragic Muse
That Jealousy may rule a mind
The angel's like a flea

The body, Eternal Shadow of the finite Soul
The builder left one narrow rent

The butterfly the ancient Grecians made
The cloud doth gather, the greenwood roar
The Devil believes that the Lord will come
The dubious light sad glimmers o'er the sky
The dust flies smothering, as on clatt'ring wheel
The early Year's fast-flying vapours stray
The fervid Sun had more than halv'd the day.
The Fox, and Statesman subtile wiles ensure
The Frost performs its secret ministry
The grapes upon the Vicar's wall.
The hour-bell sounds, and I must go

The indignant Bard composed this furious ode
The Moon, how definite its orb

The piteous sobs that choke the Virgin's
The Pleasures sport beneath the thatch
The poet in his lone yet genial hour

breath

The reed roof'd village still bepatch'd with snow
The shepherds went their hasty way

[ocr errors]

The silence of a City, how awful at Midnight
The singing Kettle and the purring Cat
The sole true Something-This! In Limbo's Den
The solemn-breathing air is ended.
The spruce and limber yellow-hammer

The stars that wont to start, as on a chace

The stream with languid murmur creeps

The Sun is not yet risen.

The Sun with gentle beams his rage disguises

The tear which mourn'd a brother's fate scarce dry
The tedded hay, the first fruits of the soil
