Requiescat
... Ah, would that I did too!Her mirth the world required ...

... What bard, At the height of his vision, can deem ...
Hayeswater
... One rood from shore, that single boat ...

Philomela
... What triumph! hark!what pain!O wanderer from a Grecian shore, ...

... Oh, might our marges meet again!Who ordered, that their longing's fire ...

The Song Of Empedocles
... The radiant, rejoicing, intelligent Sons of Heaven ...
The Buried Life
... The same heart beats in every human breast!But we, my love!--doth a like spell benumb ...

... Feel my soul becoming vast like you!'From the intense, clear, star-sown vault of heaven, ...
Thyrsis, a Monody
... And we should tease her with our plaint in vain!Well! wind-dispersed and vain the words will be, ...

... A girl; their clothes were rags, their feet were bare ...
Quiet Work
... Still do thy sleepless ministers move on, Their glorious tasks in silence perfecting ...
