The crocus, while the days are dark

The curves of beauty are not softly wrought
The eighth was August, being rich arrayed
The first Nowell the angel did say
The first sound that I hear at morn
The gauger walked with willing foot
The grey mornings I well remember
The jester walked in the garden
The loss, if loss there be, is mine

The moon is up, and yet it is not night
The night was winter in its roughest mood
The One remains, the many change and pass
The plain was grassy, wild and bare
The poetry of earth is never dead

The poets vaunt autumnal hues too much
The quarrel of the sparrows in the eaves
There are in this loud stunning tide
The redbreast, sacred to the household gods
There is a haunting phantom called Regret
There is a jewel which no Indian mine can buy
There is a land of pure delight

There is a mountain and a wood between us
There is a silence where hath been no sound
There is sweet music here that softer falls
There kneels Veronica whose piety
There's nothing in the world, I know -
The road winds onward long and white
The same old baffling questions!
The sea of fortune doth not ever flow
These many years since we began to be
The splendour falls on castle walls
The sun is warm, the sky is clear
The time draws near the birth of Christ
The voice which I did more esteem

The wind sounds only in opposing straits
The world is too much with us

They are all gone into a world of light

This day we sing

Thou didst hang upon a barren tree

Thou fair-haired angel of the evening

Three fishers went sailing away to the west

Thrice happy souls, to whom the prize is given
Throughout the black November night
'Tis the merry nightingale

To live within a cave-it is most good
To me the thought of death is terrible
To one who has been long in city pent
To sea, to sea! The calm is o'er
To Sorrow I bade good-morrow -

Tossing his mane of snows -
'Twas on a Holy Thursday -

Under the greenwood tree
Up the airy mountain -

We cannot kindle when we will

Weep no more, nor sigh, nor groan

We journeyed fast

We live not in our moments or our years
Well then; I now do plainly see -

We wandered to the Pine Forest
Whanne that Aprillé with his shourés swote
"What do you make so fair and bright?" -
Whatever thing is donne, by Him is donne -
What if within His world, His Church
What is it, Life? A little strife

What matter though my room be small
What noise of viols is so sweet

What pleasure have great princes

What power is this?

What time the mighty moon was gathering light
When all the world is young, lad

When griping grefes the hart would wounde
When icicles hang by the wall

When I consider how my light is spent

When June is come

When shall I see that land where I would tread

When smoke stood up from Ludlow

9

June 12

When Time is weary of my company-
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought

When with the virgin morning thou dost rise

Where dost thou careless lie

Wherefore to-night so full of care

Why sittest thou on that sea-girt rock

With all my will, but much against my heart
With how sad steps, O Maon

With lifted feet, hands still

With what a glory comes and goes the year!

Ye have been fresh and green

Yes, the year is growing old

Yet oft affliction purifies the mind

Ye voices that arose

You promise heavens free from strife
You were so far away -
