A QUESTION.
Too Practical to be thought of.
Patriotism.
In Snow.
[With pseudo-monarchy and creed]
Words and Deeds.
[England! leave Asia, Africa, alone]
[To do such dreadful work, not merely coin]
[Heroic Chili! Brave Peru!]
[Have Nations human consciences? If so]
To a Primrose.
[The English Nation is my vexation]
[A poet sits at ease]
Mother Shipton.

Blackberries
[Unless you are growing wise and good]
Unless
you are growing wise and good,
I can't respect you for growing old;
'Tis a path you fain would avoid if you could,
And it means growing ugly, suspicious, and cold.
