[Childlike, I love that skylark's trills]

[In tears of blood, if such might be]

['Tis true we cannot keep the heights]

[Low men who live by labour of their hands]

ON A BLACKTHORN WALKING-STICK

[Have I cause to be afraid?]

[In evil forget not good]

[I will not be a critic where I love.]

[I never fancied I could lose]

[The moon upon the cornfield shone]

[Who that, even in a dream]

[I can be haughty with my brother-kind]

LORD BLANK: A BIOGRAPHY

[I saw a man go by to-day; O when we were at school]

[The Whiting Society passes its time]
