Part 3 — INDEX TO FIRST LINES OF POEMS

Reading edition

PAGE

A great while ago the world began58

A life on the ocean wave130

As I in hoary winter's night stood shivering in the snow 85

At Flores in the Azores, Sir Richard Grenville lay122

A wet sheet and a flowing sea86

Bless the Lord, O my soul152

Blow, blow, thou winter wind98

Boats sail on the rivers38

Boot, saddle, to horse and away93

By the rude bridge that arched the flood134

Call for the robin redbreast and the wren70

Come, dear children, let us away73

Come follow, follow me64

Come unto these yellow sands57

Dainty little maiden, whither would you wander49

Do you ask what the birds say? the sparrow, the dove59

Entreat me not to leave thee55

Faintly as tolls the evening chime105

Fair Daffodils, we weep to see89

From gold to gray119

From Oberon, in fairy land91

Full fathom five thy father lies67

God of our fathers, known of old141

Good-bye, good-bye to Summer60

Hark, hark, the dogs do bark33

Hark, hark, the lark at heaven's gate sings68

Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee120

He clasps the crag with crooked hands131

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high113

How sleep the brave who sink to rest130

Hush thee, my babby35

Hush! the waves are rolling in49

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers116

I come from haunts of coot and hern82

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me46

In winter I get up at night40

I saw a ship a-sailing36

I saw you toss the kites on high56

I sprang to the stirrup, and Joris, and he108

It was the schooner Hesperus100

I wandered lonely as a cloud135

Jog on, jog on, the foot-path way58

Lady Moon, Lady Moon, where are you roving54

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep35

Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn34

Little Lamb, who made thee51

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place132

Minnie and Winnie lived in a shell50

Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold140

My heart leaps up when I behold70

Now fades the last long streak of snow107

Of speckled eggs the birdie sings37

Oh, hush thee, my babie! thy sire was a knight63

Oh, who is so merry, so merry, heigh-ho44

O Lord, our Lord79

O Mary, go and call the cattle home104

Over hill, over dale69

O wedding-guest! this soul hath been106

Pack, clouds, away, and welcome day71

Pease porridge hot33

Pibroch of Donuil Dhu117

Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been33

Queen and huntress, chaste and fair84

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky65

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness137

Sleep, baby, sleep, our cottage vale is deep34

Sleep, baby, sleep, thy father is tending the sheep41

Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant king53

Sweet and low, sweet and low47

The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold111

The cock is crowing72

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day146

The friendly cow, all red and white39

The gorse is yellow on the heath97

The heavens declare the glory of God94

The king sits in Dunfermline town142

The Lord is my shepherd42

The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year99

The Northern Star sailed over the bar96

The rain is raining all around37

The splendour falls on castle walls81

The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh65

The warm sun is failing, the bleak wind is wailing90

The world is so full of a number of things37

The year's at the spring67

This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign136

Three mice went into a hole to spin34

Under the greenwood tree88

Up the airy mountain52

Up, up, ye dames, ye lasses gay73

Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town35

What does little birdie say41

When cats run home and light is come58

When children are playing alone on the green61

When daffodils begin to peer58

Whenever the moon and stars are set39

When icicles hang by the wall68

When I was sick and lay a-bed45

When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy62

Where lies the land to which the ship would go87

Where the bee sucks, there suck I57

Whither, 'midst falling dew139

Who has seen the wind38

Who is Sylvia? what is she121

Who would true valour see115

You spotted snakes with double tongue47

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
