Poems by William Schwenck Gilbert
He Loves!
... Her withered flowers - her faded tress - ...
A Mirage
... To lullaby Such as I'd sing to thee - ...
The Reverend Simon Magus
... " The reverend gent looked grave, "Dear me! ...
The Fickle Breeze
... While the poplars, in their pleasure, ...
Brave Alum Bey
... They howled and they blubbered with wail and with whine: ...
The Bishop and the Busman
... He's grown quite fair - has auburn hair - ...
The Susceptible Chancellor
... But there'd be the deuce to pay in the Lords ...
Bob Polter
... " The phantom said, "You'll have all this, ...
Limited Liability
... They then proceed to trade with all who'll trust 'em, ...
The House of Peers
... As bright will shine Great Britain's rays, ...
Is Life a Boon
... Though fourscore years he give ...
The National Anthem
... Its heart-stirring notes raise a lump in our throats ...
The Baffled Grumbler
... When all goes right and nothing goes wrong, ...
The Reward of Merit
... His inventions - they, perhaps, might have enriched him by degrees, ...
Damon vs. Pythias
... They laughed to think, as through the throng ...
