Book 4 — INDEX OF FIRST LINES
Reading edition
PAGE
A Chieftain to the Highlands bound211
A child's a plaything for an hour270
A flock of sheep that leisurely pass by305
A slumber did my spirit seal210
A sweet disorder in the dress95
A weary lot is thine, fair maid225
A wet sheet and a flowing sea235
Absence, hear thou this protestation8
Ah, Chloris! could I now but sit86
Ah! County Guy, the hour is nigh217
All in the Downs the fleet was moor'd149
All thoughts, all passions, all delights199
And are ye sure the news is true181
And is this—Yarrow?—This the Stream297
And thou art dead, as young and fair231
And wilt thou leave me thus26
Ariel to Miranda:—Take288
Art thou pale for weariness305
Art thou poor, yet hast thou golden slumbers50
As it fell upon a day27
As I was walking all alane107
As slow our ship her foamy track251
At the corner of Wood Street, when daylight appears288
At the mid hour of night, when stars are weeping, I fly230
Avenge, O Lord! Thy slaughter'd saints, whose bones64
Awake, Aeolian lyre, awake157
Awake, awake, my Lyre101
Bards of Passion and of Mirth197
Beauty sat bathing by a spring13
Behold her, single in the field287
Being your slave, what should I do but tend9
Beneath these fruit-tree boughs that shed277
Best and brightest, come away299
Bid me to live, and I will live97
Blest pair of Sirens, pledges of Heaven's joy125
Blow, blow, thou winter wind34
Bright Star! would I were steadfast as thou art228
Call for the robin-redbreast and the wren41
Calm was the day, and through the trembling air45
Captain, or Colonel, or Knight in Arms75
Care-charmer Sleep, son of the Sable Night28
Come away, come away, Death38
Come, cheerful day, part of my life to me51
Come little babe, come silly soul35
Come live with me and be my Love5
Come, Sleep: O Sleep! the certain knot of peace24
Come unto these yellow sands2
Crabbed Age and Youth6
Cupid and my Campaspe play'd44
Cyriack, whose grandsire, on the royal bench80
Daughter of Jove, relentless power188
Daughter to that good Earl, once President89
Degenerate Douglas! oh, the unworthy lord283
Doth then the world go thus, doth all thus move54
Down in yon garden sweet and gay147
Drink to me only with thine eyes92
Duncan Gray cam here to woo180
Earl March look'd on his dying child228
Earth has not anything to show more fair281
E'en like two little bank-dividing brooks96
Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind240
Ethereal minstrel! pilgrim of the sky273
Ever let the Fancy roam310
Fain would I change that note6
Fair Daffodils, we weep to see111
Fair pledges of a fruitful tree110
Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing25
Fear no more the heat o' the sun40
Fine knacks for ladies, cheap, choice, brave and new22
Follow thy fair sun, unhappy shadow30
For ever, Fortune, wilt thou prove155
Forget not yet the tried intent18
Four Seasons fill the measure of the year339
From Harmony, from heavenly Harmony63
From Stirling Castle we had seen295
Full fathom five thy father lies40
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may87
Gem of the crimson-colour'd Even218
Get up, get up for shame! The blooming morn93
Go fetch to me a pint o' wine152
Go, lovely Rose91
Hail thou most sacred venerable thing128
Hail to thee, blithe Spirit274
Happy the man, whose wish and care136
Happy those early days, when I78
Happy were he could finish forth his fate55
He that loves a rosy cheek90
He is gone on the mountain264
Hence, all you vain delights103
Hence, loathéd Melancholy116
Hence, vain deluding Joys120
He sang of God, the mighty source164
High-way, since you my chief Parnassus be9
How happy is he born and taught76
How like a winter hath my absence been10
How sleep the brave who sink to rest144
How sweet the answer Echo makes217
How vainly men themselves amaze113
I am monarch of all I survey190
I arise from dreams of Thee205
I cannot change, as others do87
I dream'd that as I wander'd by the way307
I fear thy kisses, gentle maiden208
I have had playmates, I have had companions250
I have no name165
I heard a thousand blended notes312
I meet thy pensive, moonlight face211
I met a traveller from an antique land282
I remember, I remember254
I saw Eternity the other night129
I saw her in childhood265
I saw my lady weep19
I saw where in the shroud did lurk268
I travell'd among unknown men208
I wander'd lonely as a cloud291
I was thy neighbour once, thou rugged Pile327
I wish I were where Helen lies106
If aught of oaten stop or pastoral song170
If doughty deeds my lady please153
If I had thought thou couldst have died263
If Thou survive my well-contented day41
If to be absent were to be100
I'm wearing awa', Jean184
In a drear-nighted December222
In the downhill of life, when I find I'm declining195
In the sweet shire of Cardigan248
In this still place, remote from men329
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan308
It is a beauteous evening, calm and free303
It is not growing like a tree77
It was a dismal and a fearful night108
It was a lover and his lass8
It was a summer evening244
I've heard them lilting at our ewe-milking145
Jack and Joan, they think no ill115
John Anderson my jo, John185
Lady, when I behold the roses sprouting43
Lawrence, of virtuous father virtuous son79
Let me not to the marriage of true minds20
Life! I know not what thou art196
Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore25
Like to the clear in highest sphere12
Love in my bosom, like a bee43
Love in thy youth, fair Maid, be wise90
Love not me for comely grace98
Lo! where the rosy-bosom'd Hours166
Many a green isle needs must be320
Mary! I want a lyre with other strings191
Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour242
Mine be a cot beside the hill169
Mortality, behold and fear73
Most sweet it is with unuplifted eyes309
Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold199
Music, when soft voices die346
My days among the Dead are past257
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains279
My heart leaps up when I behold341
My Love in her attire doth shew her wit96
My lute, be as thou wert when thou didst grow39
My thoughts hold mortal strife38
My true-love hath my heart, and I have his20
Never love unless you can16
Never seek to tell thy love156
No longer mourn for me when I am dead42
Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note247
Not, Celia, that I juster am98
Now the golden Morn aloft133
Now the last day of many days301
O blithe new-comer! I have heard278
O Brignall banks are wild and fair203
O Friend! I know not which way I must look242
O happy shades! to me unblest188
O if thou knew'st how thou thyself dost harm18
O leave this barren spot to me283
O listen, listen, ladies gay266
O lovers' eyes are sharp to see227
O Mary, at thy window be175
O me! what eyes hath love put in my head31
O Mistress mine, where are you roaming22
O my Luve's like a red, red rose177
O never say that I was false of heart11
O saw ye bonnie Lesley176
O say what is that thing call'd Light136
O talk not to me of a name great in story202
O Thou, by Nature taught134
O waly waly up the bank104
O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms224
O wild West Wind, thou breath Of Autumn's being325
O World! O Life! O Time340
Obscurest night involved the sky193
Of all the girls that are so smart151
Of a' the airts the wind can blaw183
Of Nelson and the North237
Of Neptune's empire let us sing80
Of this fair volume which we World do name53
Oft I had heard of Lucy Gray213
Oft in the stilly night255
Oh snatch'd away in beauty's bloom262
On a day, alack the day17
On a Poet's lips I slept329
Once did She hold the gorgeous East in fee241
One more Unfortunate259
One word is too often profaned233
On Linden, when the sun was low243
Our bugles sang truce, for the night-cloud had lower'd306
Over the mountains84
Pack, clouds, away, and welcome day45
Phoebus, arise2
Pibroch of Donuil Dhu233
Poor Soul, the centre of my sinful earth52
Proud Maisie is in the wood258
Queen and Huntress, chaste and fair81
Rough Wind, that moanest loud339
Ruin seize thee, ruthless King140
Season of mist and mellow fruitfulness293
See with what simplicity85
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day15
Shall I, wasting in despair102
She dwelt among the untrodden ways208
She is not fair to outward view207
She walks in beauty, like the night206
She was a Phantom of delight206
Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea4
Since there's no help, come let us kiss and part30
Sleep, angry beauty, sleep and fear not me31
Sleep on, and dream of Heaven awhile154
Sleep, sleep, beauty bright165
Souls of Poets dead and gone257
Spring, the sweet Spring, is the year's pleasant king1
Star that bringest home the bee304
Stern Daughter of the Voice of God239
Surprized by joy—impatient as the wind230
Sweet, be not proud of those two eyes90
Sweet Highland Girl, a very shower285
Sweet Love, if thou wilt gain a monarch's glory14
Sweet stream, that winds through yonder glade154
Swiftly walk over the western wave219
Take, O take those lips away29
Tax not the royal Saint with vain expense331
Tell me not, Sweet, I an unkind88
Tell me where is Fancy bred42
That time of year thou may'st in me behold23
That which her slender waist confined96
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day172
The forward youth that would appear65
The fountains mingle with the river216
The glories of our blood and state74
The last and greatest Herald of Heaven's King55
The lovely lass o' Inverness144
The man of life upright52
The merchant, to secure his treasure155
The more we live, more brief appear338
The nightingale, as soon as April bringeth28
The poplars are fell'd; farewell to the shade167
There be none of Beauty's daughters204
There is a flower, the lesser Celandine253
There is a garden in her face92
There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away252
There's not a nook within this solemn Pass340
There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream341
The sea hath many thousand sands33
The sun is warm, the sky is clear256
The sun upon the lake is low304
The twentieth year is well-nigh past192
The world is too much with us; late and soon330
They are all gone into the world of light109
They that have power to hurt, and will do none26
This is the month, and this the happy morn56
This Life, which seems so fair51
Though others may her brow adore21
Thou art not fair, for all thy red and white34
Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness331
Three years she grew in sun and shower209
Thy braes were bonny, Yarrow stream146
Timely blossom, Infant fair138
Tired with all these, for restful death I cry54
Toll for the Brave148
To me, fair Friend, you never can be old11
To one who has been long in city pent282
Turn back, you wanton flyer16
'Twas at the royal feast for Persia won129
'Twas on a lofty vase's side137
Two Voices are there; one is of the Sea241
Under the greenwood tree7
Upon my lap my sovereign sits105
Verse, a breeze 'mid blossoms straying333
Victorious men of earth, no more74
Waken, lords and ladies gay272
Wee, sleekit, cow'rin', tim'rous beastie168
Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my knee37
Weep you no more, sad fountains14
Were I as base as is the lowly plain21
We talk'd with open heart, and tongue336
We walk'd along, while bright and red334
We watch'd her breathing thro' the night265
Whenas in silks my Julia goes95
When Britain first at Heaven's command139
When first the fiery-mantled Sun294
When God at first made Man78
When he who adores thee has left but the name246
When icicles hang by the wall23
When I consider how my light is spent76
When I have borne in memory what has tamed243
When I have fears that I may cease to be229
When I have seen by Time's fell hand defaced4
When I survey the bright126
When I think on the happy days182
When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes10
When in the chronicle of wasted time15
When lovely woman stoops to folly156
When Love with unconfinéd wings99
When maidens such as Hester die262
When Music, heavenly maid, was young161
When Ruth was left half desolate313
When the lamp is shatter'd226
When the sheep are in the fauld, and the kye at hame178
When thou must home to shades of underground37
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought24
When we two parted221
Where art thou, my beloved Son270
Where shall the lover rest222
Where the bee sucks, there suck I2
Where the remote Bermudas ride124
Whether on Ida's shady brow197
While that the sun with his beams hot32
Whoe'er she be82
Why art thou silent? Is thy love a plant220
Why so pale and wan, fond lover100
Why weep ye by the tide, ladie215
With how sad steps, O Moon, thou climb'st the skies36
With little here to do or see291
With sweetest milk and sugar first112
Ye banks and braes and streams around177
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon157
Ye distant spires, ye antique towers185
Ye Mariners of England235
Yes, there is holy pleasure in thine eye284
Yet once more, O ye laurels, and once more68
You meaner beauties of the night88
