MOONLIGHT NORTH AND SOUTH

WINTER AT ST. ANDREWS

COME BACK TO ST. ANDREWS

TO ALFRED TENNYSON

AT A HIGH CEREMONY

A LOST OPPORTUNITY

THE CAGED THRUSH

WHERE'S THE USE

A MAY-DAY MADRIGAL

SONG IS NOT DEAD

A SONG OF TRUCE

A LOVER'S CONFESSION

TRAFALGAR SQUARE

A SUMMER MORNING

SORROW'S TREACHERY

THE CROWN OF YEARS

THE LIFE OF EARTH

THE HOUSE OF SLEEP

THE OUTCAST'S FAREWELL

YET A LITTLE SLEEP

AN AFTERTHOUGHT

THE TEMPTED SOUL

VANITY OF VANITIES

LOVE'S WORSHIP RESTORED

BELOW HER WINDOW

IN TIME OF DOUBT

THE GARDEN OF SIN

UNDESIRED REVENGE

A BIRTHDAY GIFT

LOVE RECALLED IN SLEEP

FOOTSTEPS IN THE STREET

FOR A PRESENT OF ROSES

IN TIME OF SORROW

A NEW SONG TO AN OLD TUNE

THE FIRST MEETING

A CRITICISM OF CRITICS

PARTNERSHIP IN FAME

A CHRISTMAS FANCY

THE BURIAL OF WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR

THE DEATH OF WILLIAM RUFUS

DEATH AT THE WINDOW

ART'S DISCIPLINE

THE TRUE LIBERAL

A LATE GOOD NIGHT

AN EXILE'S SONG

THE HAUNTED CHAMBER

IN TIME OF SICKNESS

THE TRUE LIBERAL

The truest Liberal is he
Who sees the man in each degree,
Who merit in a churl can prize,
And baseness in an earl despise,
Yet censures baseness in a churl,
And dares find merit in an earl.
