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
[Do what wilt with me]
Do
what wilt with me,
Destiny!
If
no
,—so! if
yes
,—bless!
In any case whatever
I am the bubble, not the river,
Much less the source:
Slight my knowledge, small my force.
And howsoever things may be,
The self-same World holds me and thee,
Destiny!
