Note to the Expanded Editionxiii | |
Introductionxv | |
Who stands, the crux left of the watershed | |
From the very first coming down | |
Control of the passes was, he saw, the key | |
Taller to-day, we remember similar evenings | |
Watch any day his nonchalant pauses, see | |
Will you turn a deaf ear | |
Sir, no man’s enemy, forgiving all | |
It was Easter as I walked in the public gardens | |
Since you are going to begin to-day | |
Consider this and in our time | |
This lunar beauty | |
To ask the hard question is simple | |
Doom is dark and deeper than any sea-dingle | |
What’s in your mind, my dove, my coney | |
“O where are you going?” said reader to rider | |
Though aware of our rank and alert to obey orders | |
O Love, the interest itself in thoughtless Heaven | |
O what is that sound which so thrills the ear | |
Hearing of harvests rotting in the valleys | |
Out on the lawn I lie in bed | |
A shilling life will give you all the facts | |
Our hunting fathers told the story | |
Easily, my dear, you move, easily your head | |
The Summer holds: upon its glittering lake | |
Now through night’s caressing grip | |
O for doors to be open and an invite with gilded edges | |
Look, stranger, at this island now | |
Now the leaves are falling fast | |
Underneath the abject willow | |
Dear, though the night is gone | |
Fish in the unruffled lakes | |
