And I know a grove Nightingale But never elsewhere in one place I knew Nightingale And bid us listen! And I deem it wise Nightingale I hurried with him to our orchard plot, Nightingale At midnight, by the stream I rov'd Lewti To forget the form I lov'd.

Female Vagrant Can I forget that miserable hour, Female Vagrant I could not pray: -- through tears that fell in showers, Female Vagrant There was a youth whom I had loved so long, Female Vagrant That when I loved him not I cannot say. Female Vagrant That when I loved him not I cannot say. Female Vagrant And I in truth did love him like a brother, Female Vagrant For never could I hope to meet with such another. Female Vagrant Like one revived, upon his neck I wept, Female Vagrant And often, viewing their sweet smiles, I sighed, Female Vagrant A British ship I waked, as from a trance restored. Female Vagrant I looked and looked along the silent air, Female Vagrant I seemed transported to another world: -- Female Vagrant And from all hope I was forever hurled. Female Vagrant Was best, could I but shun the spot where man might come. Female Vagrant And oft, robb'd of my perfect mind, I thought Female Vagrant Here will I weep in peace, (so fancy wrought,) Female Vagrant And homeless near a thousand homes I stood, Female Vagrant By grief enfeebled was I turned adrift, Female Vagrant I lay, where with his drowsy mates, the cock Female Vagrant Nor to the beggar's language could I frame my tongue. Female Vagrant Then did I try, in vain, the crowd's resort, Female Vagrant Near the sea-side I reached a ruinous fort: Female Vagrant Of hideous sense; I sunk, nor step could crawl, Female Vagrant I heard my neighbors, in their beds, complain Female Vagrant Dismissed, again on open day I gazed, Female Vagrant The lanes I sought, and as the sun retired, Female Vagrant What could I do, unaided and unblest? Female Vagrant Ill was I then for toil or service fit: Female Vagrant By high-way side forgetful would I sit Female Vagrant I liv'd upon the mercy of the fields, Female Vagrant The fields I for my bed have often used: Female Vagrant Is, that I have my inner self abused, Female Vagrant Three years a wanderer, often have I view'd, Female Vagrant And now across this moor my steps I bend -- Female Vagrant Have I. ---- She ceased, and weeping turned away, Female Vagrant Two poor old dames, as I have known, Goody Blake Now think, ye farmers all, I pray, Goody Blake The come, my sister! come, I pray, Lines near my House My gentle reader, I perceive Simon Lee What more I have to say is short, Simon Lee I hope you'll kindly take it; Simon Lee One summer-day I chanced to see Simon Lee Give me your tool" to him I said; Simon Lee I struck, and with a single blow Simon Lee The tangled root I sever'd, Simon Lee So fast out of his heart, I thought Simon Lee I have a boy of five years old, Anecdote for Fathers I thought of Kilve's delightful shore, Anecdote for Fathers A day it was when I could bear Anecdote for Fathers I could not feel a pain. Anecdote for Fathers And oftentimes I talked to him, Anecdote for Fathers "Kilve," said I, "was a pleasant place, Anecdote for Fathers I said and took him by the arm -- Anecdote for Fathers I said, and held him by the arm, Anecdote for Fathers While still I held him by the arm, Anecdote for Fathers "I cannot tell, I do not know."

We Are Seven "I take my little porringer, We Are Seven "My brother John and I. We Are Seven "And I could run and slide, We Are Seven "How many are you then," said I, We Are Seven I heard a thousand blended notes, Lines in Early Spring While in a grove I sate reclined, Lines in Early Spring Their thoughts I cannot measure, Lines in Early Spring And I must think, do all I can, Lines in Early Spring And I must think, do all I can, Lines in Early Spring If I these thoughts may not prevent, Lines in Early Spring Have I not reason to lament Lines in Early Spring And that same pond of which I spoke, The Thorn I cannot tell; I wish I could; The Thorn I cannot tell; I wish I could; The Thorn I cannot tell; I wish I could; The Thorn I never heard of such as dare The Thorn I'll tell you every thing I know; The Thorn I wish that you would go: The Thorn I'll give you the best help I can: The Thorn I'll tell you all I know. The Thorn No more I know, I wish I did, The Thorn No more I know, I wish I did, The Thorn No more I know, I wish I did, The Thorn And I would tell it all to you; The Thorn There's no one knows, as I have said, The Thorn I cannot think, whate'er they say, The Thorn I will be sworn is true. The Thorn When to this country first I came, The Thorn Ere I had heard of Martha's name, The Thorn I climbed the mountain's height: The Thorn A storm came on, and I could see The Thorn No screen, no fence could I discover, The Thorn I looked around, I thought I saw The Thorn I looked around, I thought I saw The Thorn I looked around, I thought I saw The Thorn A jutting crag, and off I ran, The Thorn And, as I am a man, The Thorn Instead of jutting crag, I found The Thorn I did not speak -- I saw her face, The Thorn I did not speak -- I saw her face, The Thorn I turned about and heard her cry, The Thorn I cannot tell; but some will say The Thorn I do not think she could. The Thorn I cannot tell how this may be, The Thorn And this I know, full many a time, The Thorn That I have heard her cry, The Thorn In distant countries I have been, Last of the Flock And yet I have not often seen Last of the Flock And in the broad high-way, I met; Last of the Flock I follow'd him, and said, "My friend Last of the Flock To-day I fetched him from the rock; Last of the Flock When I was young, a single man, Last of the Flock Yet, so it was, a ewe I bought; Last of the Flock And other sheep from her I raised, Last of the Flock And then I married, and was rich Last of the Flock As I could wish to be; Last of the Flock Of sheep I number'd a full score, Last of the Flock Full fifty comely sheep I raised, Last of the Flock And now I care not if we die, Last of the Flock Ten children, Sir! had I to feed, Last of the Flock I of the parish ask'd relief.

Forsaken Indian For strong and without pain I lay, Forsaken Indian A most strange something did I see; Forsaken Indian In two days more I must have died. Forsaken Indian I feel I must have died with thee. Forsaken Indian I feel I must have died with thee. Forsaken Indian I should not feel the pain of dying, Forsaken Indian Could I with thee a message send. Forsaken Indian For I had many things to say. Forsaken Indian For ever left alone am I, Forsaken Indian Then wherefore should I fear to die? Forsaken Indian I shall not see another sun, Forsaken Indian I cannot lift my limbs to know Forsaken Indian My poor forsaken child! if I Forsaken Indian With happy heart I would then die, Forsaken Indian I feel my body die away, Forsaken Indian I shall not see another day. Forsaken Indian -- On the slope of a mountain I stood, Convict In the pain of my spirit I said, Convict And with a deep sadness I turned, to repair Convict I pause; and at length, through the glimmering grate Convict And asks of me why I am here. Convict Of five long winters! and again I hear Tintern Abbey Do I behold these steep and lofty cliffs, Tintern Abbey The day is come when I again repose Tintern Abbey The wild green landscape. Once again I see Tintern Abbey Of towns and cities, I have owed to them, Tintern Abbey Of kindness and of love. Nor less, I trust, Tintern Abbey To them I may have owed another gift, Tintern Abbey How oft, in spirit, have I turned to thee Tintern Abbey While here I stand, not only with the sense Tintern Abbey For future years. And so I dare to hope Tintern Abbey Though changed, no doubt, from what I was, when first Tintern Abbey I came among these hills; when like a roe Tintern Abbey I bounded o'er the mountains, by the sides Tintern Abbey To me was all in all. -- I cannot paint Tintern Abbey What then I was. The sounding cataract Tintern Abbey Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur: other gifts Tintern Abbey Have followed, for such loss, I would believe, Tintern Abbey Abundant recompence. For I have learned Tintern Abbey To chasten and subdue. And I have felt Tintern Abbey And rolls through all things. Therefore am I still Tintern Abbey If I were not thus taught, should I the more Tintern Abbey If I were not thus taught, should I the more Tintern Abbey My dear, dear Friend, and in thy voice I catch Tintern Abbey May I behold in thee what I was once, Tintern Abbey May I behold in thee what I was once, Tintern Abbey My dear, dear Sister! And this prayer I make, Tintern Abbey If I should be, where I no more can hear Tintern Abbey If I should be, where I no more can hear Tintern Abbey We stood together; And that I, so long Tintern Abbey
