Ancyent Marinere I Out of the Sea came he; Ancyent Marinere II The silence of the Sea. Ancyent Marinere II Of the Spirit that plagued us so: Ancyent Marinere II From the Land of Mist and Snow. Ancyent Marinere II Instead of the Cross the Albatross Ancyent Marinere II Of mouldy damps and charnel crust Ancyent Marinere III A gust of wind sterte up behind Ancyent Marinere III Thro' the holes of his eyes and the hole of his mouth Ancyent Marinere III Thro' the holes of his eyes and the hole of his mouth Ancyent Marinere III Like the whiz of my Cross-bow. Ancyent Marinere III Beyond the shadow of the ship Ancyent Marinere IV They mov'd in tracks of shining white; Ancyent Marinere IV Within the shadow of the ship Ancyent Marinere IV Was a flash of golden fire. Ancyent Marinere IV A spring of love gusht from my heart, Ancyent Marinere IV The body of my brother's son Ancyent Marinere V And I quak'd to think of my own voice Ancyent Marinere V A noise like of a hidden brook Ancyent Marinere V In the leafy month of June, Ancyent Marinere V "For that, which comes out of thine eye, doth make Ancyent Marinere V To a man of woman born: Ancyent Marinere V By a man of woman born: Ancyent Marinere V From the land of mist and snow Ancyent Marinere V "In the land of mist and snow, Ancyent Marinere V Of what might else be seen.

Female Vagrant The bending body of my active sire; Female Vagrant My watchful dog, whose starts of furious ire, Female Vagrant The suns of twenty summers danced along, -- Female Vagrant And ill could I the thought of such sad parting brook.

From the sweet thoughts of home, Female Vagrant And oft, robb'd of my perfect mind, I thought Female Vagrant Here watch, of every human friend disowned, Female Vagrant From the cross timber of an out-house hung; Female Vagrant Of hideous sense; I sunk, nor step could crawl, Female Vagrant Was weak, nor of the past had memory. Female Vagrant Of many things which never troubled me; Female Vagrant Of feet still bustling round with busy glee, Female Vagrant Of looks where common kindness had no part, Female Vagrant Of service done with careless cruelty, Female Vagrant Of potters wandering on from door to door: Female Vagrant But life of happier sort to me pourtrayed, Female Vagrant In depth of forest glade, when jocund June Female Vagrant Of moor and mountain, midnight theft to hatch; Female Vagrant Poor Father! gone was every friend of thine. Female Vagrant And kindred of dead husband are at best Female Vagrant I liv'd upon the mercy of the fields, Female Vagrant And oft of cruelty the sky accused; Female Vagrant Foregone the home delight of constant truth, Female Vagrant Of that perpetual weight which on her spirit lay.

Tintern Abbey These plots of cottage-ground, these orchard-tufts, Tintern Abbey Of sportive wood run wild; these pastoral farms Tintern Abbey Green to the very door; and wreathes of smoke Tintern Abbey Of vagrant dwellers in the houseless woods, Tintern Abbey Or of some hermit's cave, where by his fire Tintern Abbey These forms of beauty have not been to me, Tintern Abbey Of towns and cities, I have owed to them, Tintern Abbey In hours of weariness, sensations sweet, Tintern Abbey Of unremembered pleasure; such, perhaps, Tintern Abbey On that best portion of a good man's life; Tintern Abbey Of kindness and of love. Nor less, I trust, Tintern Abbey Of kindness and of love. Nor less, I trust, Tintern Abbey Of aspect more sublime; that blessed mood, Tintern Abbey In which the burthen of the mystery, Tintern Abbey Of all this unintelligible world Tintern Abbey Until, the breath of this corporeal frame, Tintern Abbey And even the motion of our human blood Tintern Abbey Of harmony, and the deep power of joy, Tintern Abbey Of harmony, and the deep power of joy, Tintern Abbey We see into the life of things. Tintern Abbey Of joyless day-light; when the fretful stir Tintern Abbey Unprofitable, and the fever of the world, Tintern Abbey Have hung upon the beatings of my heart, Tintern Abbey And now, with gleams of half-extinguished though[t,] Tintern Abbey And somewhat of a sad perplexity, Tintern Abbey The picture of the mind revives again: Tintern Abbey Of present pleasure, but with pleasing thoughts Tintern Abbey Of the deep rivers, and the lonely streams, Tintern Abbey (The coarser pleasures of my boyish days, Tintern Abbey That had no need of a remoter charm, Tintern Abbey Of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes Tintern Abbey The still, sad music of humanity, Tintern Abbey Not harsh or grating, though of ample power Tintern Abbey Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime Tintern Abbey Of something far more deeply interfused, Tintern Abbey Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, Tintern Abbey And the blue sky, and in the mind of man, Tintern Abbey All thinking things, all objects of all thought, Tintern Abbey A lover of the meadows and the woods, Tintern Abbey And mountains; and of all that we behold Tintern Abbey From this green earth; of all the mighty world Tintern Abbey Of eye and ear, both what they half-create, Tintern Abbey In nature and the language of the sense, Tintern Abbey The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse, Tintern Abbey The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul Tintern Abbey Of all my moral being.
