THE BURDEN OF THE BELL.

THE POETS FLOWER-GATHERING.

A LITTLE STAVE TO MY SINGING BIRD, THE CHILD ELLIE.

THE POET AND HIS VOCATION.

THE BROOK AND THE SYCAMORE.

EFFIE'S SECRET.

DOOM. A DREAM OF THE BROCKEN.

THE SONG OF THE IVY.

LOVE HER STILL.

A CATASTROPHE IN AN ACORN CUP.

CITY-CRAFT, AND SOUL-CRAFT.

AN INDICTMENT UNDER A HEDGE-ROW.

THE SEA-MAID'S RING.

‘SING FOR THE VIOLET!’

A VISION OF OLD FAMES.

THE STRIFE, AND THE REPOSE.

THE RIPPLE ON THE WATER.

THE VOICES AT THE THRONE.

A FLING AT THE BALLAD-MONGERS.

A SONG OF THE SMALL POETS.

DOLORES in the CHURCH of St. CUNEGUNDE.

THE DEATH SCARF.

THE CHILDREN OF THE COURTS.

A JUSTIFICATION.

THE NIGHT OF THE NATIVITY.

A VISION BETWEEN THE LEAVES.

A SONG OF WASSAIL.

THE GRAVE IN THE CITY.

AN OVER-SEA GREETING.

THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN.

THE GREETING ON THE THRESHOLD.

SHADE AND SUNSHINE.

THE WORLD AND THE POET.

LOVE IN THE ALPUXARAS.

THE ANGEL OF THE SHADOW.

THE KNELL OF THE MONARCHIES.

A FLOWER-FOLLY.

THE WHITE ANGEL.

LITTLE MABEL'S SONG

THE LAST SONG OF WINTER.

MUMMY-WRAPPING.

THE BELEAGUERED OAK.

MISTRESS MADELINE'S PENANCE.

ROAD-SONG OF THE PEASANT.

THE CORNER APART.

HEART-USES.

‘BE A CHEERFUL POET!’

WHEN I WAS A CHILD.

HEART-USES.

Hearts are not for teasing, Lady mine—
Hearts for loving, hearts for deep believing,
For strong hoping, never for deceiving,
Nay, nor yet for teasing, Lady mine.

Hearts are not for scorning, Lady mine—
Hearts for grieving, hearts for bitter breaking,
For fast clinging, never for forsaking,
Nay, nor yet for scorning, Lady mine.

Hearts are all for loving, Lady mine—
Loving—tease me with thine eyes' endeavour,
Scorn me with thy lips, but still, for ever,
Hearts are all for loving, Lady mine.
