Brothers of free descent were we, and native to the soil

Come up from the fields, father, here's a letter from our Pete

Down swept the chill wind from the mountain peak
Downward through the evening twilight
Eager he look'd: another train of years
Emperors and kings! in vain you strive
Fair flower that dost so comely grow
Fair Verna, loveliest village of the west
Father and I went down to camp

Fear not, brave soldiers, tho' their infantry

First from the dust our sex began

For this present, hard

Forth upon the Gitche Gumee

From silent night, true Register of moans

From the Desert I come to thee

Gallants, attend, and hear a friend

Glooms of the live-oaks, beautiful-braided and woven
God makes sech nights, all white an' still

God sends his teachers unto every age

Good-bye, my Fancy

Good-bye, proud world! I'm going home

Gusty and raw was the morning

Hark! hark! the bugle's lofty sound

Has there any old fellow got mixed with the boys
Hast thou named all the birds without a gun
Haste, Sylvia, haste, my charming maid
Have you heard of the wonderful one-hoss shay

He stood upon the world's broad threshold: wide
Hear the sledges with the bells.

I hear it was charged against me that I sought to destroy institutions

In Heaven a spirit doth dwell

In May, when sea-winds pierced our solitudes

In spite of all the learned have said

In the Acadian land, on the shores of the Basin of Minas

In the greenest of our valleys..

In the old days (a custom laid aside

John Brown in Kansas settled, like a steadfast Yankee farmer

Life is a print-shop, where the eye may trace

Listen, my children, and you shall hear

Little thinks, in the field, yon red-cloaked clown
Lo, Death has reared himself a throne

Lo now four other act upon the stage

Many a weary year had passed since the burning of Grand-Pré

[blocks in formation]

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord

Now near the stream approach'd the sounding war
Now warm with ministerial ire

Now where the sheeted flames thro' Charlestown roar

O the long and dreary Winter

Observed ye the cloud on that mountain's dim green
O'ercome with weariness and care

Of all the rides since the birth of time

Of worthy Captain LOVEWELL I purpose now to sing
Oft have I seen at some cathedral door
Often I think of the beautiful town
Oh, all day long they flood with song
Oh fairest of the rural maids.
Oh, let me weep, while o'er our land
Oh slow to smite and swift to spare

Oh that I were a Poet now in grain

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary

One form alone remains behind

One's-Self I sing, a simple separate person

Oppress'd with grief, in heavy strains I mourn

Our band is few but true and tried

[blocks in formation]

Our love is not a fading, earthly flower

Our men, advancing, have received dire loss

"Our Tom has grown a sturdy boy"
Out of the cradle endlessly rocking

Over his keys the musing organist

Phœbus, make haste: the day 's too long; be gone

Run is his Race

Sadly and low

Science, true daughter of Old Time thou art
See AMHERST now his warlike Squadrons range
See, from this counterfeit of him

Sick of thy northern glooms, come, shepherd, seek

Sir, after you have wip'd the eyes

So fallen, so lost! the light withdrawn

So, Murphey, you are come to try your Fortune
Some time now past in the Autumnal Tide

Sometimes for days

Tell me not, in mournful numbers

The blast from Freedom's Northern hills, upon its Southern way

The breezes went steadily thro' the tall pines

The Comet! He is on his way

The day is cold and dark and dreary

The day is done, and the darkness

The day is ours! huzza, the day is ours

The days grow short; but tho' the falling sun

The despot's heel is on thy shore

The fair boy Leonatus

The groves were God's first temples. Ere man learned

The hound was cuffed, the hound was kicked

The innocent, sweet Day is dead

The Lord reigns, cloth'd with majesty

The Lord to mee a shepheard is

The old face of the mother of many children

The pines were dark on Ramoth hill

The quiet August noon has come

The rain has ceased, and in my room

The rose did caper on her cheek

The shadows lay along Broadway

The shrill cock's clarion the blue welkin fills

The skies they were ashen and sober

The Sphinx is drowsy

The sun, that brief December day

The sweltering farmer spreads the new-mown grass

Thee finds me in the garden, Hannah-come in! "Tis kind of thee

This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks
This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign.

This kind o' sogerin' aint a mite like our October trainin'.
