... feel; And don't sew me up without _baccy_ in mouth, ...
Off Cape Colonna
... From sunned Greek seas and skies ...
Old Counsel
... _Of The Young Master of a Wrecked California Clipper_ ...
Dirge
... Or trance her with thy choicest charm ...

... The after-quiet--the calm full fraught ...
The Marchioness Of Brinvilliers
... With twilight meek of tender eve, ...
On The Photograph Of A Corps Commander

The Night March
... (So legends tell) he lonely wends ...
The Land Of Love
... Full urns, rose-heaped, these valleys bloom ...
The Swamp Angel
... By night with the voice of his screaming-- ...
Rebel Color-Bearers At Shiloh
... _A plea against the vindictive cry raised by civilians ...
