They stood on the bridge at midnight489

They tell me (but I really can't600

They told hum gently he was made89

They've got a brand-new organ, Sue162

They went to sea in a sieve, they did862

Thine eyes, dear ones, dot dot, are like, dash, what?824

This is the tale that was told to me680

Thou art like unto a Flower427

Thou happy, happy elf!941

Thou shall have one God only, who261

Thou who, when fears attack732

Though I met her in the summer, when one's heart lies round at east345

Three children sliding on the ice843

Three score and ten by common calculation99

Tim Turpin he was gravel blind795

'Tis midnight and the moonbeam sleeps411

'Tis midnight, and the setting sun843

'Tis sweet at dewy eve to rove450

'Tis sweet to roam when morning's light878

To Lake Aghmoogenegamook757

To make this condiment, your poet begs93

The outer senses they are geese509

To see the Kaiser's epitaph948

To Urn, or not to Urn? that is the question534

To you, my purse, and to none other wight58

Tom's album was filled with the pictures of belles141

Trilobite, Graphtolite, Nautilus pie324

"True 'tis a P T, and P T 'tis, 'tis true"788

'Twas a pretty little maiden161

'Twas after supper of Norfolk brawn884

'Twas April when she came to town120

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves869

'Twas brussels, and the loose liege482

'Twas ever thus from childhood's hour!469

'Twas gilbert. The kchesterton437

'Twas late, and the gay company was gone446

'Twas more than a million years ago497

'Twas on a lofty vase's side557

'Twas on a windy night214

'Twas on the shores that round our coast632

'Twas raw, and chill, and cold outside98

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house935

'Twas whispered in heaven, 'twas muttered in hell762

Two gentlemen their appetite had fed666

Two honest tradesmen meeting in the Strand254

Two old Bachelors were living in one house868

Two webfoot brothers loved a fair629

Two Yankee wags, one summer day572

Tying her bonnet under her chin124

Uncle Simon he849

Upon a rock, yet uncreate771

Upon an island, all alone683

Upon ane stormy Sunday190

Upon the poop the captain stands876

Wake! for the Hack can scatter into flight512

Wal, no! I can't tell whar he lives661

Wan from the wild and woful West386

Was once a hen of wit not small892

We climbed to the top of Goat Point hill210

We love thee Ann Maria Smith389

We rode the tawny Texan hills288

We seek to know, and knowing seek463

We were crowded in the cabin492

We've lived for forty years, dear wife246

Well I recall how first I met30

Werther had a love for Charlotte140

What asks the Bard? He prays for nought320

What, he on whom our voices unanimously ran286

What is Earth, sexton—A place to dig graves810

What is the matter with Grandpapa?950

What lightning shall light it? What thunder shall tell it?404

What makes you come here fer, Mister925

What motley cares Corilla's mind perplex278

What! not know our Clean Clara?283

"What other men have dared, I dare."109

What poor short-sighted worms we be353

What? rise again with all one's bones363

What, what, what710

What will we do when the good days come311

Whenas to shoot my Julia goes418

When Chapman billies leave the street623

When dido found Aeneas would not come366

When good King Arthur ruled the land879

When I am dead you'll find it hard109

When I had firmly answered "no,"431

When I was young and full o' pride115

When lovely woman wants a favor494

When Mary Ann Dollinger got the skule daown thar on Injun Bay168

When men a dangerous disease did 'scape365

When moonlike ore the hazure seas34

When nettles in winter bring forth roses red276

When sporgles spanned the floreate mead877

When swallows Northward flew191

When that old joke was new33

When the breeze from the bluebottle's blustering blim852

When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock34

When the landlord wants the rent336

When the little armadillo902

When they heard the Captain humming and beheld the dancing crew615

When you slice a Georgy melon you mus' know what you is at73

Whene'er I take my walks abroad950

Whene'er with haggard eyes I view84

Where the Moosatockmaguntic113

Whereas, on certain boughs and sprays402

"Wherefore starts my bosom's lord?453

Which I wish to remark648

Which is of greater value, prythee, say371

While Butler, needy wretch, was yet alive370

Who am I?434

Who money hast, well wages the campaign323

Who, or why, or which, or what708

"Who stuffed that white owl?" No one spoke in the shop309

1. Why all this toil for triumphs of an hour?783

"Why do you wear your hair like a man474

Why don't the men propose, mamma?130

Why doth the pussy cat prefer895

Why is it the children don't love me943

Why should you swear I am forsworn241

Why was Cupid a boy56

Wisely a woman prefers to a lover a man who neglects her247

With chocolate-cream that you buy in the cake932

With due condescension, I'd call your attention106

With ganial foire547

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night928

Ye may tramp the world over717

Years—years ago—ere yet my dreams171

Yes, write if you want to—there's nothing like trying36

Yet another great truth I record in my verse906

"You are old, Father William," the young man said485

"You are old, Father William," the young man said531

You beat your pate, and fancy wit will come362

You bid me try, Blue-eyes, to write782

"You gave me the key of your heart, my love137

"You have heard," said a youth to his sweetheart, who stood133

You may notch it on the palin's as a mighty resky plan312

"You must give back," her mother said198

You prefer a buffoon to a scholar339

You see this pebble-stone? It's a thing I bought464

You Wi'yum, sir, dis minute. Wut dat you got325

You wrote a line too much, my sage362

Young Ben he was a nice young man792

Young Rory O'More courted Kathleen Bawn141

Your poem must eternal be364

Zack Bumstead useter flosserfize242

Zig-zagging it went760
