In its sublime research, philosophy.

May measure out the ocean-deep - may count The sands or the sun's rays—but, God! for Thee There is no weight nor measure; none can mount Up to Thy mysteries; Reason's brightest spark,

Though kindled by Thy light, in vain would try To trace Thy counsels, infinite and dark;

[blocks in formation]

And thought is lost ere thought can soar so Naught! But the effluence of Thy light divine, high,

Even like past moments in eternity.

Thou from primeval nothingness didst call

First chaos, then existence - Lord! in Thee

Eternity had its foundation; all

Sprung forth from Thee-of light, joy, harmony,

Pervading worlds, hath reached my bosom too; Yes! in my spirit doth Thy spirit shine,

As shines the sunbeam in a drop of dew.
Naught! but I live, and on hope's pinions fly
Eager towards Thy presence-for in Thee

I live, and breathe, and dwell, aspiring high,
Even to the throne of Thy divinity,

I am, O God! and surely Thou must be!

INDEX OF FIRST LINES.

A baby was sleeping..

A barking sound the shepherd hears.
Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase !).
Accept, thou shrine of my dead saint..
A chieftain, to the Highlands bound.
Across the narrow beach we flit..

A cypress-bough and a rose-wreath sweet..

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever.

Afar in the desert I love to ride.

A fig for St. Denis of France.
Again I sit within the mansion.

A good sword and a trusty hand.

A good that never satisfies the mind.

A grace though melancholy, manly too.
Ah, little ranting Johnny..

Ah! love, impute it not to me a sin.

Ah, lovely appearance of death.

Ah me! full sorely is my heart forlorn.

Ah me! this is a sad and silent city.

Ah my heart is weary waiting..

Ah, my Perilla! dost thou grieve to see.
A host of angels flying.

Ask me no more: the moon may draw the sea. Tennyson. 300
As o'er his furrowed fields, which lie..

As slow our ship her foamy track....
A steed! a steed of matchlesse speed
As through the land at eve we went...
A street there is in Paris famous
A sweet disorder in the dress.

A thousand miles from land are we.
At midnight, in his guarded tent..
At Paris it was, at the opera there.

At the gate of old Granada, when all its.....
Autumn's sighing

Avenge, O Lord, thy slaughtered saints.
Awake, thou wintry earth.

Away! let naught to love displeasing.

A weary lot is thine, fair maid.

A weary weed, tossed to and fro.
A wee bird came to our ha' door.
A wet sheet and a flowing sea
Ay, this is freedom-these pure skies..

Balder, the white sun-god, has departed..
Balow, my babe, ly stil and sleipe..
Bards of passion and of mirth.
Beautiful Evelyn Hope is dead..
Beautiful! Sir. you may say so
Beauty clear and fair.

Before I sigh my last gasp, let me breathe
Before the beginning of years.
Before the starry threshold of Jove's court..
Behold her, single in the field.
Behold the young, the rosy Spring.
Behold this ruin "Twas a skull..
Ben Battle was a soldier bold.
Ben Bobstay, a tar of the jolly old sort.
Beneath this stony roof reclined.
Be patient, oh, be patient!.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning.
Bring me wine, but wine which never grew
Brother, thou art gone before us..

Burly, dozing humble-bee.

Busk ye, busk ye, my bonnie, bonnie
Busy, curious, thirsty fly.

bride...Hamilton, 489

By the rude bridge that arched the flood.

Cables entangling her.

Can I see another's woe.

Captain, or colonel, or knight in arms.

Ca' the yowes to the knowes.
Cheeks as soft as July peaches.
Children are what mothers are.
Christmas is here..

Clang, clang! the massive anvils ring
Close his eyes; his work is done.

Cold in the earth, and the deep snow piled

Come away, come away, death..
Come back, come back together..
Come, dear children, let us away

Come down, ye graybeard mariners.
Come, follow, follow me.

Gamarra is a dainty steed...

Gane were but the winter cauld.
Gather ye rose-buds as ye may
Genteel in personage.

Gentlefolks, in my time, I've made many
Gin a body meet a body.

God is a name my soul adores.
God is the refuge of his saints.

God makes sech nights, all white an' still
God moves in a mysterious way
God prosper long our noble king.
God save our gracious king

God sends his teachers unto every age..
God shield ye, heralds of the spring.
God, who the universe doth hold
Goe, soul, the bodie's guest.

Go, lovely rose !

Go now! and with some daring drug.
Good-bye, good-bye to Summer!.

Good bye, proud world! I'm going home.
Good-morrow to thy sable beak.
Good muse, rock me asleep.
Good people all, of every sort..
Good people all, with one accord
Go, sit by the summer sea..
Go to dark Gethsemane..
