INDEX TO THE FIRST LINES.
A BARFING Sound the shepherd hears, 409
A Book came forth of late, called Peter Bell, 218 A bright-haired company of youthful slaves, 350 Abruptly paused the strife;-the field throughout, 264 A dark plume fetch me from yon blasted yew, 296 Adieu, Rydalian Laurels! that have grown, 307 Advance - come forth from thy Tyrolean ground, 259 Aerial Rock-whose solitary brow, 217 A fainous man is Robin Hood, 242
Affections lose their object; Time brings forth, 457 A flock of sheep that leisurely pass by, 217 A genial hearth, a hospitable board, 365
Age! twine thy brows with fresh spring flowers, 245 Ah, think how one compelled for life to abide, 276 Ah, when the Frame, round which in love we clung, 352 Ah! where is Palafox? Nor tongue nor pen, 261 Ah why deceive ourselves! by no mere fit, 274 Aid, glorious Martyrs, from your fields of light, 360 Alas! what boots the long laborious quest, 259 A little onward lend thy guiding hand, 413 All praise the Likeness by thy skill portrayed, 234 A love-lorn Maid, at some far-distant time, 297 Ambition-following down this far-famed slope, 287 Amid a fertile region green with wood, 304 Amid the smoke of cities did you pass, 131 Amid this dance of objects sadness steals, 279 Among a grave fraternity of Monks, 424 Among the dwellers in the silent fields, 123 Among the dwellings framed by birds, 150
As faith thus sanctified the warrior's crest, 371 As indignation mastered grief, my tongue, 326 As leaves are to the tree whereon they grow, 274 A slumber did my spirit seal, 167 As often as I murinur here, 150
As star that shines dependent upon star, 365 As the cold aspect of a sunless way, 226
A stream, to mingle with your favourite Dee, 229 A sudden conflict rises from the swell, 364 As, when a storm hath ceased, the birds regain, 349 As with the Stream our voyage we pursue, 354 At early dawn, or rather when the air, 227 A Traveller on the skirt of Sarum's Plain, 38 A trouble, not of clouds, or weeping rain, 301 At the corner of Wood Street, when daylight appears, 169 Avaunt all specious pliancy of mind, 262
A voice, from long expecting thousands sent, 363 A volant Tribe of Bards on earth are found, 221 Avon-a -a precious, an immortal name, 305
A weight of awe not easy to be borne, 227 A whirl-blast from behind the hill, 138
A winged Goddess-clothed in vesture wrought, 278 A Youth too certain of his power to wade, 310
Bard of the Fleece, whose skilful genius made, 218 Beaumont it was thy wish that I should rear, 215 Before I see another day, 124
Before my eyes a wanderer stood, 172
Before the world had past her time of youth, 276
Among the mountains were we nursed, loved Stream, 308 Begone, thou fond presumptuous Elf, 140
A month, sweet Little-ones, is past, 74 An age hath been when earth was proud, 405 A narrow girdle of rough stones and crags, 133 And is it among rude untutored Dales, 260 And is this-Yarrow 1-This the Stream, 252 And, not in vain embodied to the sight, 355 And shall, the Pontiff asks, profaneness flow, 354 And what is Penance with her knotted thong, 357 And what melodious sounds at times prevail, 356
Beguiled into forgetfulness of care, 423 Behold an emblem of our human mind, 419 Behold a pupil of the monkish gown, 353 Behold her, single in the field, 242 Behold, within the leafy shade, 82 Beloved Vale! I said, when I shall con, 216 Beneath the concave of an April sky, 404 Beneath these fruit-tree boughs that shed, 138 Beneath yon eastern ridge, the craggy bound, 449
An Orpheus! an Orpheus! yes, Faith may grow bold, 170 Be this the chosen site, the virgin sod, 369 Another year!-another deadly blow, 257
Between two sister moorland rills, 147 Bishops and Priests, blessed are ye, if deep, 366 Black Demons hovering o'er his mitred head, 354 Blest is this Isle-our native Land, 411
Blest Statesman He, whose mind's unselfish will, 273 Bold words affirmed, in days when faith was strong, 309 Brave Schill! by death delivered, take thy flight, 261 Bright Flower! whose home is everywhere, 145 Broken in fortune, but in mind entire, 310 Brook and road, 211
Brook! whose society the Poet seeks, 226 Bruges I saw attired with golden light, 278 But Cytherea, studious to invent, 439 But here no cannon thunders to the gale, 299 But liberty, and triumphs on the Main, 368 61
But, to outweigh all harm, the sacred book, 359 But, to remote Northumbria's royal Hall, 351 But what if One, through grove or flowery mead, 352 But whence came they who for the Saviour Lord, 356 By a blest husband guided, Mary came, 466
By antique Fancy trimmed-though lowly, bred, 282 By Art's bold privilege Warrior and War-horse stand, 233 By chain yet stronger must the Soul be tied, 366 By Moscow self-devoted to a blaze, 264
By playful smiles, (alas, too oft, 460
By such examples moved to unbought pains, 352 By their floating mill, 149
By vain affections unenthralled, 460
Call not the royal Swede unfortunate, 261 Calm as an under-current, strong to draw, 363 Calm is all nature as a resting wheel, 37 Calm is the fragrant air, and loth to lose, 426 Calvert! it must not be unheard by them, 223 Can aught survive to linger in the veins, 353 Change me, some God, into that breathing rose, 295 Chatsworth thy stately mansion, and the pride, 231 Child of loud-throated War! the mountain Stream, 242 Child of the clouds! remote from every taint, 294 Clarkson! it was an obstinate hill to climb, 258 Closing the sacred Book which long has fed, 367 Clouds, lingering yet, extend in solid bars, 258 Coldly we spake. The Saxons, overpowered, 370 Come ye-who, if (which Heaven avert!) the Land, 272 Companion! by whose buoyant Spirit cheered, 318 Complacent Fictions were they, yet the same, 322
Dark and more dark the shades of evening fell, 227 Darkness surrounds us; seeking, we are lost, 349 Days passed-and Monte Calvo would not clear, 322 Days undefiled by luxury or sloth 274
Dear be the Church, that, watching o'er the needs, 365 Dear Child of Nature, let them rail, 397 Dear fellow-travellers! think not that the Muse, 278 Dear native regions, I foretell, 25
Dear reliques! from a pit of vilest mould, 264 Dear to the Loves, and to the Graces vowed, 309 Deep is the lamentation! not alone, 359 Degenerate Douglas! oh, the unworthy Lord, 244 Departed Child! I could forget thee once, 125 Departing summer hath assumed, 414 Deplorable his lot who tills the ground, 355 Desire we past illusions to recall, 309 Desponding Father! mark this altered bough, 231 Despond who will-1 heard a voice exclaim, 311 Destined to war from very infancy, 459
Discourse was deemed man's noblest attribute, 235 Dishonoured Rock and Ruin! that, by law, 303 Dogmatic Teachers, of the Snow-white fur, 226 Doomed as we are our native dust, 280 Doubling and doubling with laborious walk, 303 Down a swift Stream, thus far, a bold design, 364 Dread hour! when, upheaved by war's sulphurous blast,
Driven from the soil of France, a Female came, 254 Driven in by Autumn's sharpening air, 127
Earth has not anything to show more fair, 227 Eden! till now thy beauty had I viewed, 314 Emperors and Kings, how oft have temples rung, 265 England! the time is come when thou shouldst wean, 256 Enlightened Teacher, gladly from thy hand, 235
Enough! for see, with dim association, 356 Enough of climbing toil!— Ambition threads, 405 Enough of garlands, of the Arcadian crook, 303 Enough of rose-bud lips and eyes, 119 Ere the Brothers through the gateway, 167 Ere with cold beads of midnight dew, 96
Ere yet our course was graced with social trees, 294 Eternal Lord! eased of a cumbrous load, 326 Ethereal minstrel! pilgrim of the sky, 188 Even as a dragon's eye that feels the stress, 225
Even so for me a Vision sanctified, 220
Even such the contrast that, where'er we move, 362 Even while I speak, the sacred roofs of France, 368 Excuse is needless when with love sincere, 219
Failing impartial measure to dispense, 235 Fair Ellen Irwin, when she sate, 240
Fair is the Swan, whose majesty prevailing, 415
Fair Lady! can I sing of flowers, 148
Fair Land! Thee all men greet with joy; how few, 326 Fair Prime of life! were it enough to gild, 222 Fair Star of evening, Splendour of the west, 253 Fallen, and diffused into a shapeless heap, 298 Fame tells of groves-from England far away, 228 Fancy, who leads the pastimes of the glad, 137 Farewell thou little nook of mountain-ground, 94 Far from my dearest friend, 'tis mine to rove, 25 Far from our home by Grasmere's quiet lake, 434 Father! to God himself we cannot give, 366 Fear hath a hundred eyes that all agree, 361 Feel for the wrongs to universal ken, 275 Festivals have I seen that were not names, 253 Fit retribution, by the moral code, 276 Five years have past; five summers with the length, 193 Flattered with promise of escape, 409
Fly, some kind Harbinger, to Grasmere-dale, 246 Fond words have oft been spoken to thee, Sleep, 217 For action born, existing to be tried, 323 Forbear to deem the Chronicler unwise, 322 For ever hallowed be this morning fair, 350 For gentlest uses, oft-times Nature takes, 281 Forgive, illustrious Country! these deep sighs, 323 Forth from a jutting ridge, around whose base, 135 For thirst of power that Heaven disowns, 437 For what contend the wise?-For nothing less, 359 Four fiery steeds impatient of the rein, 232 From Bolton's old monastic tower, 329
From early youth I ploughed the restless main, 310 From false assumption rose, and, fondly hailed, 371 From Little down to Least, in due degree, 366 From low to high doth dissolution climb, 368 From Rite and Ordinance abused they fled, 364 From Stirling Castle we had seen, 244
From the Baptismal hour through weal and woe, 567 From the dark chambers of dejection freed, 222 From the fierce aspect of this River, throwing, 281 From the Pier's head, musing, and with increase, 223 From this deep chasm, where quivering sunbeams play, 296 Frowns are on every Muse's face, 150
Genius of Raphael! if thy wings, 180 Glad sight! wherever new with old, 148 Glide gently, thus for ever glide, 37
Glory to God! and to the Power who came, 370 Go back to antique ages, if thine eyes, 258 Go, faithful Portrait! and where long hath knelt, 232 Grant, that by this unsparing hurricane, 359
Great men have been among us; hands that penned, 255 Greta, what fearful listening! when huge stones, 307 Grief, thou hast lost an ever-ready friend, 219 Grieve for the Man who hither came bereft, 324
Had this effulgence disappeared, 211
Hail to the fields-with Dwellings sprinkled o'er, 296 Hail, Twilight, sovereign of one peaceful hour, 225 Hail, universal Source of pure delight, 268
Hail, Virgin Queen! o'er many an envious bar, 360 Hail, Zaragoza! If with unwet eye, 260 Happy the feeling from the bosom thrown, 215 Hard task! exclaim the undisciplined, to lean, 274 Hark! 'tis the Thrush, undaunted, undeprest, 234 Harmonious Powers with Nature work, 419 Harp! couldst thou venture, on thy boldest string, 362 Hast thou seen, with flash incessant, 451
-Hast thou then survived, 152
Haydon! let worthier judges praise the skill, 231 Here Man more purely lives, less oft doth fall, 355 Here, on our native soil, we breathe once more, 254 Here on their knees men swore: the stones were black, 313 Here pause the Poet claims at least this praise, 263 Here stood an Oak, that long had borne affixed, 305 Here, where, of havoc tired and rash undoing, 236 Her eyes are wild, her head is bare, 127
If thou in the dear love of some one Friend, 452 If to Tradition faith be due, 306
If with old love of you, dear Hills! I share, 326
I grieved for Buonaparte, with a vain, 253
I have a boy of five years old, 77
I heard (alas! 'twas only in a dream), 223
I heard a thousand blended notes, 397
I know an Aged man constrained to dwell, 457
I listen-but no faculty of mine, 282
I marvel how Nature could ever find space, 402
I met Louisa in the shade, 96
Immured in Bothwell's towers, at times the Brave, 304 In Brugès town is many a street, 398
In desultory walk through orchard grounds, 437 In distant countries have I been, 100
In due observance of an ancient rite, 261 Inland, within a hollow vale, I stood, 254 Inmate of a mountain-dwelling, 163
In my mind's eye a Temple, like a cloud, 232 Intent on gathering wool from hedge and brake, 234 In these fair vales hath many a tree, 452 In the sweet shire of Cardigan, 397 In this still place, remote from men, 241
In trellised shed with clustering roses gay, 328 Intrepid sons of Albion! not by you, 265 In youth from rock to rock I went, 137
I rose while yet the cattle, heat-opprest, 298
I saw a mother's eye intensely bent, 366
I saw an aged beggar in my walk, 453
I saw far off the dark top of a Pine, 321
I saw the figure of a lovely Maid, 362
High on a broad unfertile tract of forest-skirted Down, 82 Is Death, when evil against good has fought, 275 High on her speculative tower, 285
His simpie truths did Andrew glean, 141 Holy and heavenly Spirits as they are, 361 Homeward we turn. Isle of Columbia's Cell, 313 Hope rules a land for ever green, 399
Hope smiled when your nativity was cast. 312 Hopes, what are they? - Beads of morning, 451
I shiver, Spirit fierce and bold, 237
Is it a reed that's shaken by the wind, 253 Is then no nook of English ground secure, 236 Is then the final page before me spread, 290 Is there a power that can sustain and cheer, 261
Is this, ye Gods, the Capitolian Hill, 321
I thought of Thee, my partner and my guide, 299
How art thou named? In search of what strange land, 229 It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, 220
How beautiful the Queen of Night on high, 430 How beautiful, when up a lofty height, 99 How beautiful your presence, how benign, 351 How blest the Maid whose heart-yet free, 286 How clear, how keen, how marvellously bright, 224 How disappeared he? Ask the newt and toad, 304 How fast the Marian death-list is unrolled, 360 How profitless the relics that we cull, 305 How richly glows the water's breast, 37 How rich that forehend's calm expanse, 98 How shall I paint thee? Be this naked stone, 294 How soon- alas! did Man, created pure, 370 How sweet it is, when mother Fancy rocks, 221 Humanity delighting to behold, 263
Hunger, and sultry heat, and nipping blast, 263
I am not One who much or oft delight, 221 I come, ye little noisy Crew, 460
I dropped my pen; and listened to the Wind, 259 If from the public way you turn your steps, 115 If Life were slumber on a bed of down, 316 If Nature, for a favourite child, 400
If there be Prophets on whose spirits rest, 348
If these brief Records, by the Muse's art, 232
If the whole weight of what we think and feel, 223
If this great world of joy and pain, 422
If thou indeed derive the light from Heaven, xi.
It is no Spirit who from heaven hath flown, 188
It is not to be thought of that the Flood, 255 It is the first mild day of March, 396 I travelled among unknown men, 96 -It seems a day, 165
It was a moral end for which they fought, 260 It was an April morning: fresh and clear, 131 I've watched you now a short half-hour, 94 I wandered lonely as a cloud, 169
I was thy Neighbour once, thou rugged Pile, 463
I watch, and long have watched, with calm regret, 222
I, who accompanied with faithful pace, 348
Jesu! bless our slender Boat, 279
Jones! as from Calais southward you and I, 253
Just as those final words were penned, the sun broke out in power, 82
Keep for the young the impassioned smile, 291
Lady! a Pen (perhaps with thy regard, 418 Lady! I rifled a Parnassian Cave, 225 Lady! the songs of Spring were in the grove, 224 Lament for Dioclesian's fiery sword, 349 Lance, shield, and sword relinquished - -at his side, 352 Last night, without a voice, that Vision spake, 362 Let other bards of angels sing, 98
Let thy wheel-barrow alone, 146 Let us quit the leafy arbour 81
Lie here, without a record of thy worth, 400 Life with yon Lambs, like day, is just begun, 233 Like a Shipwrecked Sailor tost, 420
List, the winds of March are blowing, 420 List'twas the Cuckoo, O with what delight, 323 List, ye who pass by Lyulph's Tower, 109 Lo! in the burning west, the craggy nape, 289
Not 'mid the world's vain objects that enslave, 259 Not pangs of grief for lenient time too keen, 310 Not sedentary all: there are who roam, 352 Not seldom, clad in radiant vest, 452
Not so that Pair whose youthful spirits dance, 295 Not the whole warbling grove in concert heard, 230 Not to the clouds, not to the cliff, he flew, 311 Not to the object specially designed, 276 Not utterly unworthy to endure, 358
Lone Flower hemmed in with snows, and white as they, Not without heavy grief of heart did He, 459
Long favoured England! be not thou misled, 273 Long has the dew been dried on tree and lawn, 322 Lonsdale! it were unworthy of a Guest, 315 Look at the fate of summer flowers, 97
Look now on that Adventurer who hath paid, 261 Lord of the vale astounding Flood, 250 Loud is the Vale! the Voice is up, 461 Loving she is, and tractable, though wild, 73
Lo! where she stands fixed in a saint-like trance, 233 Lo! where the Moon along the sky, 394 Lowther in thy majestic Pile are seen, 315 Lulled by the sound of pastoral bells, 288
Lyre! though such power do in thy magic live, 179
Man's life is like a Sparrow, mighty King, 351 Mark how the feathered tenants of the flood, 164 Mark the concentred hazels that enclose, 226 Meek Virgin Mother, more benign, 281
Men of the Western World! in Fate's dark book, 274 Men, who have ceased to reverence soon defy, 361 Mercy and Love have met thee on thy road, 348 Methinks that I could trip o'er heaviest soil, 361 Methinks that to some vacant hermitage, 352 Methinks 'twere no unprecedented feat, 298 Methought I saw the footsteps of a throne, 220 'Mid crowded obelisks and urns, 239 Mid-noon is past; - upon the sultry mead, 297 Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour, 255 Mine ear has rung, my spirit sunk subdued, 369 Miserrimus! and neither name nor date, 230 Monastic domes! following my downward way, 368 Most sweet it is with unuplifted eyes, 315 Mother! whose virgin bosom was uncrost, 358 Motions and Means, on land and sea at war, 314 My frame hath often trembled with delight, 297 My heart leaps up when I behold, 73
Nay, Traveller! rest. This lonely Yew-tree stands, 37
Near Anio's stream, I spied a gentle Dove, 323
Never enlivened with the liveliest ray, 152
Next morning Troilus began to clear, 446 No fiction was it of the antique age, 295 No more the end is sudden and abrupt, 305 No mortal object did these eyes behold, 219 Nor can Imagination quit the shores, 356 No record tells of lance opposed to lance, 298 Nor scorn the aid which Fancy oft doth lend, 351 Nor shall the eternal roll of praise reject, 363 Nor wants the cause the panic-striking aid, 350 -Not a breath of air, 192
Not envying Latian shades-if yet they throw, 294 Not hurled precipitous from steep to steep, 299 Not in the lucid intervals of life, 426 Not in the mines beyond the western main, 315 Not, like his great Compeers, indignantly, 280 Not Love, not War, nor the tumultuous swell, 223
Now that all hearts are glad, all faces bright, 264 Now that the farewell tear is dried, 284 Now we are tired of boisterous joy, 246 Now when the primrose makes a splendid show, 419 Nuns fret not at their convent's narrow room, 215
Oak of Guernica! Tree of holier power, 262
O blithe New-comer! I have heard, 163
O dearer far than light and life are dear, 98 O'er the wide earth, on mountain and on plain, 260 O'erweening Statesmen have full long relied, 262 O Flower of all that springs from gentle blood, 460 Of mortal parents is the Hero born, 259
O for a dirge! But why complain, 465
O, for a kindling touch from that pure flame, 265
O for the help of Angels to complete, 279
O Friend! I know not which way I must look, 255
Oft have I caught upon a fitful breeze, 403
Oft have I seen, ere Time had ploughed my cheek, 219 Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray, 75
Oft is the medal faithful to its trust, 449
Oft through thy fair domains, illustrious Peer, 550 O gentle Sleep! do they belong to thee, 217
O happy time of youthful lovers (thus, 104 Oh Life! without thy chequered scene, 280 Oh! pleasant exercise of hope and joy, 188
Oh what a Wreck! how changed in mien and speech, 234 Oh! what's the matter? what's the matter, 168
O Lord, our Lord! how wondrously (quoth she), 441 O mountain Stream! the Shepherd and his Cot, 296 Once did She hold the gorgeous east in fee, 254 Once I could hail (howe'er serene the sky), 464 Once in a lonely hamlet I sojourned, 103
Once more the Church is seized with sudden fear, 357 Once on the top of Tynwald's formal mound, 310 One might believe that natural miseries, 256
One morning (raw it was and wet, 102
One who was suffering tumult in his soul, 224
On his morning rounds the Master, 399
O Nightingale! thou surely art, 166
On, loitering Muse-the swift Stream chides us-on, 295
On Man, on Nature, and on human life, 551
O now that the genius of Bewick were inine, 456
On to Iona!-What can she afford, 312
Open your gates, ye everlasting Piles, 369
O there is blessing in this gentle breeze, 476
O thou who movest onward with a mind, 458
O thou! whose fancies from afar are brought, 80 Our bodily life, some plead, that life the shrine, 276 Our walk was far among the ancient trees, 133 Outstretching flame-ward his upbraided hand, 360
Pansies, lilies, kingcups, daisies, 139
Part fenced by man, part by a rugged steep, 302 Pastor and Patriot! at whose bidding rise, 308 Patriots informed with apostolic light, 365 Pause, courteous Spirit!-Balbi supplicates, 459
