  115. Are friends delight or pain?
  116. Ashes denote that fire was
  117. Fate slew him, but he did not drop
  118. Finite to fail, but infinite to venture
  119. I measure every grief I meet
  120. I have a king who does not speak
  121. It dropped so low in my regard
  122. To lose one's faith surpasses
  123. I had a daily bliss
  124. I worked for chaff, and earning wheat
  125. Life, and Death, and Giants
  126. Our lives are Swiss
  127. Remembrance has a rear and front
  128. To hang our head ostensibly
  129. The brain is wider than the sky
  130. The bone that has no marrow
  131. The past is such a curious creature
  132. To help our bleaker parts
  133. What soft, cherubic creatures
  134. Who never wanted,—maddest joy
  135. It might be easier
  136. You cannot put a fire out
  137. A modest lot, a fame petite
  138. Is bliss, then, such abyss
  139. I stepped from plank to plank
  140. One day is there of the series
  141. Softened by Time's consummate plush
  2. My nosegays are for captives
  4. Nature, the gentlest mother
  5. Will there really be a morning?
  6. At half-past three a single bird
  7. The day came slow, till five o'clock
  8. The sun just touched the morning
  9. The robin is the one
  10. From cocoon forth a butterfly
  11. Before you thought of spring
  12. An altered look about the hills
  13. "Whose are the little beds," I asked
  14. Pigmy seraphs gone astray
  15. To hear an oriole sing
  16. One of the ones that Midas touched
  17. I dreaded that first robin so
  18. A route of evanescence
  19. The skies can't keep their secret!
  20. Who robbed the woods
  21. Two butterflies went out at noon
  22. I started early, took my dog
  23. Arcturus is his other name
  24. An awful tempest mashed the air
  25. An everywhere of silver
  26. A bird came down the walk
  27. A narrow fellow in the grass
  28. The mushroom is the elf of plants
  29. There came a wind like a bugle
  30. A spider sewed at night
  31. I know a place where summer strives
  32. The one that could repeat the summer day
  33. The wind tapped like a tired man
  34. Nature rarer uses yellow
  35. The leaves, like women, interchange
  36. How happy is the little stone
  37. It sounded as if the streets were running
  38. The rat is the concisest tenant
  39. Frequently the woods are pink
  40. The wind begun to rock the grass
  41. South winds jostle them
  42. Bring me the sunset in a cup
  43. She sweeps with many-colored brooms
  44. Like mighty footlights burned the red
  45. Where ships of purple gently toss
  46. Blazing in gold and quenching in purple
  47. Farther in summer than the birds
  48. As imperceptibly as grief
  49. It can't be summer,—that got through
  50. The gentian weaves her fringes
  51. God made a little gentian
  52. Besides the autumn poets sing
  53. It sifts from leaden sieves
  54. No brigadier throughout the year
  55. New feet within my garden go
  56. Pink, small, and punctual
  57. The murmur of a bee
  58. Perhaps you'd like to buy a flower?
  59. The pedigree of honey
  60. Some keep the Sabbath going to church
  61. The bee is not afraid of me
  62. Some rainbow coming from the fair!
  63. The grass so little has to do
  64. A little road not made of man
  65. A drop fell on the apple tree
  66. A something in a summer's day
  67. This is the land the sunset washes
  68. Like trains of cars on tracks of plush
  69. There is a flower that bees prefer
  70. Presentiment is that long shadow on the lawn
  71. As children bid the guest good-night
  72. Angels in the early morning
  73. So bashful when I spied her
  74. It makes no difference abroad
  75. The mountain sat upon the plain
  76. I'll tell you how the sun rose
  77. The butterfly's assumption-gown
  78. Of all the sounds despatched abroad
  79. Apparently with no surprise
  80. 'Twas later when the summer went
  81. These are the days when birds come back
  82. The morns are meeker than they were
  83. The sky is low, the clouds are mean
  84. I think the hemlock likes to stand
  85. There's a certain slant of light
  86. The springtime's pallid landscape
  87. She slept beneath a tree
  88. A light exists in spring
  89. A lady red upon the hill
  90. Dear March, come in!
  91. We like March, his shoes are purple
  92. Not knowing when the dawn will come
  93. A murmur in the trees to note
  94. Morning is the place for dew
  95. To my quick ear the leaves conferred
  96. A sepal, petal, and a thorn
  97. High from the earth I heard a bird
  98. The spider as an artist
  99. What mystery pervades a well!
  100. To make a prairie it takes a clover
  101. It's like the light
  102. A dew sufficed itself
  103. His bill an auger is
  104. Sweet is the swamp with its secrets
  105. Could I but ride indefinite
  106. The moon was but a chin of gold
  107. The bat is dun with wrinkled wings
  108. You've seen balloons set, haven't you?
  109. The cricket sang
  110. Drab habitation of whom?
  111. A sloop of amber slips away
  112. Of bronze and blaze
  113. How the old mountains drip with sunset
  114. The murmuring of bees has ceased


  1. It's all I have to bring to-day
  2. Mine by the right of the white election!
  3. You left me, sweet, two legacies
  4. Alter? When the hills do
  5. Elysium is as far as to
  6. Doubt me, my dim companion!
  7. If you were coming in the fall
  8. I hide myself within my flower
  9. That I did always love
  10. Have you got a brook in your little heart
  11. As if some little Arctic flower
  12. My river runs to thee
  13. I cannot live with you
  14. There came a day at summer's full
  15. I'm ceded, I've stopped being theirs
  16. 'Twas a long parting, but the time
  17. I'm wife; I've finished that
  18. She rose to his requirement, dropped
  19. Come slowly, Eden!
  20. Of all the souls that stand create
  21. I have no life but this
  22. Your riches taught me poverty
  23. I gave myself to him
  24. "Going to him! Happy letter! Tell him"
  25. The way I read a letter's this
  26. Wild nights! Wild nights!
  27. The night was wide, and furnished scant
  28. Did the harebell loose her girdle
  29. A charm invests a face
  30. The rose did caper on her cheek
  31. In lands I never saw, they say
  32. The moon is distant from the sea
  33. He put the belt around my life
  34. I held a jewel in my fingers
  35. What if I say I shall not wait?
  36. Proud of my broken heart since thou didst break it
  37. My worthiness is all my doubt
  38. Love is anterior to life
  39. One blessing had I, than the rest
  40. When roses cease to bloom, dear
  41. Summer for thee grant I may be
  42. Split the lark and you'll find the music
  43. To lose thee, sweeter than to gain
  44. Poor little heart!
  45. There is a word
  46. I've got an arrow here
  47. He fumbles at your spirit
  48. Heart, we will forget him!
  49. Father, I bring thee not myself
  50. We outgrow love like other things
  51. Not with a club the heart is broken
  52. My friend must be a bird
  53. He touched me, so I live to know
  54. Let me not mar that perfect dream
  55. I live with him, I see his face
  56. I envy seas whereon he rides
  57. A solemn thing it was, I said
  58. Title divine is mine


  1. One dignity delays for all
  2. Delayed till she had ceased to know
  3. Departed to the judgment
  4. Safe in their alabaster chambers
  5. On this long storm the rainbow rose
  6. My cocoon tightens, colors tease
  7. Exultation is the going
  8. Look back on time with kindly eyes
  9. A train went through a burial gate
  10. I died for beauty, but was scarce
  11. How many times these low feet staggered
  12. I like a look of agony
  13. That short, potential stir
  14. I went to thank her
  15. I've seen a dying eye
  16. The clouds their backs together laid
  17. I never saw a moor
  18. God permits industrious angels
  19. To know just how he suffered would be dear
  20. The last night that she lived
  21. Not in this world to see his face
  22. The bustle in a house
  23. I reason, earth is short
  24. Afraid? Of whom am I afraid?
  25. The sun kept setting, setting still
  26. Two swimmers wrestled on the spar
  27. Because I could not stop for Death
  28. She went as quiet as the dew
  29. At last to be identified!
  30. Except to heaven, she is nought
  31. Death is a dialogue between
  32. It was too late for man
  33. When I was small, a woman died
  34. The daisy follows soft the sun
  35. No rack can torture me
  36. I lost a world the other day
  37. If I shouldn't be alive
  38. Sleep is supposed to be
  39. I shall know why, when time is over
  40. I never lost as much but twice
  41. Let down the bars, O Death!
  42. Going to heaven!
  43. At least to pray is left, is left
  44. Step lightly on this narrow spot!
  45. Morns like these we parted
  46. A death-blow is a life-blow to some
  47. I read my sentence steadily
  48. I have not told my garden yet
  49. They dropped like flakes, they dropped like stars
  50. The only ghost I ever saw
  51. Some, too fragile for winter winds
  52. As by the dead we love to sit
  53. Death sets a thing significant
  54. I went to heaven
  55. Their height in heaven comforts not
  56. There is a shame of nobleness
  57. A triumph may be of several kinds
  58. Pompless no life can pass away
  59. I noticed people disappeared
  60. I had no cause to be awake
  61. If anybody's friend be dead
  62. Our journey had advanced
  63. Ample make this bed
  64. On such a night, or such a night
  65. Essential oils are wrung
  66. I lived on dread; to those who know
  67. If I should die
  68. Her final summer was it
  69. One need not be a chamber to be haunted
  70. She died,—this was the way she died
  71. Wait till the majesty of Death
  72. Went up a year this evening!
  73. Taken from men this morning
  74. What inn is this
  75. It was not death, for I stood up
  76. I should not dare to leave my friend
  77. Great streets of silence led away
  78. A throe upon the features
  79. Of tribulation these are they
  80. I think just how my shape will rise
  81. After a hundred years
  82. Lay this laurel on the one
  83. This world is not conclusion
  84. We learn in the retreating
  85. They say that "time assuages"
  86. We cover thee, sweet face
  87. That is solemn we have ended
  88. The stimulus, beyond the grave
  89. Given in marriage unto thee
  90. That such have died enables us
  91. They won't frown always,—some sweet day
  92. 'Tis an honorable thought
  93. The distance that the dead have gone
  94. How dare the robins sing
  95. Death is like the insect
  96. 'Tis sunrise, little maid, hast thou
  97. Each that we lose takes part of us
  98. Not any higher stands the grave
  99. As far from pity as complaint
  100. 'Tis whiter than an Indian pipe
  101. She laid her docile crescent down
  102. Bless God, he went as soldiers
  103. Immortal is an ample word
  104. Where every bird is bold to go
  105. The grave my little cottage is
  106. This was in the white of the year
  107. Sweet hours have perished here
  108. Me! Come! My dazzled face
  109. From us she wandered now a year
  110. I wish I knew that woman's name
  111. Bereaved of all, I went abroad
  112. I felt a funeral in my brain
  113. I meant to find her when I came
  114. I sing to use the waiting
  115. A sickness of this world it most occasions
  116. Superfluous were the sun
  117. So proud she was to die
  118. Tie the strings to my life, my Lord
  119. The dying need but little, dear
  120. There's something quieter than sleep
  121. The soul should always stand ajar
  122. Three weeks passed since I had seen her
  123. I breathed enough to learn the trick
  124. I wonder if the sepulchre
  125. If tolling bell I ask the cause
  126. If I may have it when it's dead
  127. Before the ice is in the pools
  128. I heard a fly buzz when I died
  129. Adrift! A little boat adrift!
  130. There's been a death in the opposite house
  131. We never know we go,—when we are going
  132. It struck me every day
  133. Water is taught by thirst
  134. We thirst at first,—'tis Nature's act
  135. A clock stopped—not the mantel's
  136. All overgrown by cunning moss
  137. A toad can die of light!
  138. Far from love the Heavenly Father
  139. Along, long sleep, a famous sleep
  140. 'Twas just this time last year I died
  141. On this wondrous sea
