[“A Book of Verses underneath the Bough]
 
[Mortal, if thou art beloved]
 
[Once, his feet among the roses]
 
[Let us wreathe the mighty cup]
 
[O wind, thou hast thy kingdom in the trees]
 
[Death, men say, is like a sea]
 
[Sometimes I do despatch my heart]
 
[Ah, Eros does not always smite]
 
[Down the forest-path I fled]
 
[I dance and dance! Another faun]
 
[In the moony brake]
 
[Say, if a gallant rose my bower doth scale]
 
[Through hazels and apples]
 
[Who hath ever given]
 
[The devil is a sinner]
 
[My lady has a lovely rite]
 
KING APOLLO
 
[In winter sere]
 
[Where winds abound]
 
[I by spells had been beguiled]
 
[If the sun our white headlands with flame]
 
[When I grow old]
 
[Ah me, if I grew sweet to man]
 
[Not as a cloud in shower]
 
AN APPLE-FLOWER
 
[Little Lettice is dead, they say]
 
[Thanatos, thy praise I sing]
 
[A calm in the flitting sky]
 
[Solitary Death, make me thine own]
 
[Winds to-day are large and free]
 
[I would not die]
 
[I stood to hear that bold]
 
[Others may drag at memory's fetter]
 
[Ah me, how sadder than to say farewell]
 
[I laid her to sleep]
 
[Come, mete me out my loneliness, o wind]
 
AN ÆOLIAN HARP
 
A DEATH-BED
 
A CAMPO SANTO
 
[A curling thread]
 
A BALLAD
 
[Leda was wearied of her state, the crown]
 
[Why are women silent? Is it true]
 
[Our myrtle is in flower]
 
[I live in the world for his sake]
 
[Across a gaudy room]
 
[As two fair vessels side by side]
 
[A nightingale wakes me. Think of this!—]
 
NOONTIDE SLEEP
 
VINTAGE
 
[Love doth never know]
 
FEBRUARY
 
[We meet. I cannot look up; I hear]
 
[I have found her power!]
 
IRISES
 
CYCLAMENS
 
[How rapidly the land]
 
[The lady I have vowed to paint]
 
[A shady silence fills]
 
[The iris was yellow, the moon was pale]
 
TRIUMPH OF BACCHUS AND ARIADNE
 
[Love's wings are wondrous swift]
 
[A girl]
 
A SPRING MORNING BY THE SEA
 
[Methinks my love to thee doth grow]
 
[My love is like a lovely shepherdess]
 
ACHERON
 
[I lay sick in a foreign land]
 
A HOSPITAL GARDEN
 
[There comes a change in her breath]
 
[A gray mob-cap and a girl's]
 
UNBOSOMING
 
[It was deep April, and the morn]
