Listen—Songs thou ’lt hear Through the wide world ringing.

A baby was sleeping “A cup for hope!” she said A golden bee a-cometh A little shadow makes the sunrise sad A little while a little love A thousand voices fill my ears Across the grass I see her pass Ah, what avails the sceptered race! Airly Beacon, Airly Beacon All glorious as the Rainbow’s birth All through the sultry hours of June Along the garden ways just now Although I enter not

As Gertrude skipt from babe to girl As I came round the harbor buoy Awake!—The starry midnight Hour

Awake thee, my Lady-love!

Back flies my soul to other years Break, break, break

Came, on a Sabbath noon, my sweet Christmas is here

Come, rosy Day! Come sing, Come sing, of the great Sea-King

Could ye come back to me, Douglas, Douglas

Drink, and fill the night with mirth!

Every day a Pilgrim, blindfold

Fast falls the snow, O lady mine First the fine, faint, dreamy motion

Hence, rude Winter! crabbed old fellow How many Summers, love

How many times do I love thee, dear?

I bring a garland for your head I had a Message to send her I have been here before I leaned out of window, I smelt the white clover I looked and saw your eyes I made another garden, yea I remember, I remember I sat beside the streamlet I wandered by the brook-side I walked in the lonesome evening If I could choose my paradise If love were what the rose is

If there were dreams to sell I ’m sitting on the stile, Mary In Clementina’s artless mien In Love, if Love be Love, if Love be ours Into the Devil tavern It was not in the winter I ’ve been roaming! I ’ve been roaming!

King Death was a rare old fellow!

Kissing her hair I sat against her feet.

Lady! in this night of June Last time I parted from my Dear Let us wreathe the mighty cup Little dimples so sweet and soft Lullaby! O lullaby! Lute! breathe thy lowest in my Lady’s ear
