Poems That Every Child Should Know/Index
INDEX
A barking sound the shepherd hears, 120
Abide with me! fast falls the eventide, 223
Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase), 89
A chieftain to the Highlands bound, 105
Across the lonely beach, 71
A life on the ocean wave, 85
Alone I walked the ocean strand, 256
A nightingale that all day long, 34
A supercilious nabob of the East, 165
At Flores in the Azores Sir Richard Grenville lay, 246
At midnight in his guarded tent, 128
A traveller on the dusty road, 48
A well there is in the west country, 180
Ay, tear her tattered ensign down, 53
Behind him lay the Gray Azores, 169
Beneath the low-hung night cloud, 67
Bird of the wilderness, 302
Blow, blow, thou winter wind, 58
Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans, 342
Bright shone the lists, blue bent the skies, 110
Buttercups and daisies, 51
By the shores of Gitche Gumee, 79
Come, let us plant the apple-tree, 211
Come, dear children, let us away, 260
"Courage!" he said, and pointed toward the land, 231
Cupid and my Campasbe played, 235
Cupid once upon a bed, 234
Down in a green and shady bed, 27
Farewell, farewell! but this I tell,5
Fear death?—to feel the fog in my throat, 320
"Give us a song!" the soldiers cried, 64
God of our fathers, known of old, 321
Goe, soule, the bodie's guest, 283
Grow old along with me, 312
Hail to thee, blithe spirit, 268
Half a league, half a league, 107
Happy the man whose wish and care, 273
Hats off! 133
Heaven is not reached at a single bound, 117
How dear to this heart are the scenes of my childhood, 288
"How I should like a birthday!" said the child, 164
How happy is he born and taught, 220
How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, 133
I am monarch of all I survey, 190
I celebrate myself, and sing myself, 344
I chatter, chatter, as I flow, 153
I come, I come! ye have called me long, 259
If I had but two little wings, 21
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, 9
I heard last night a little child go singing, 222
I like a church: I like a cowl, 333
"I'll tell you how the leaves came down," 12
I met a traveller from an antique land, 322
In her ear he whispers gaily, 75
In the name of the Empress of India, make way, 125
I remember, I remember, 159
I shot an arrow into the air, 3
"Isn't this Joseph's son?"—ay, it is He, 114
I sprang to the stirrup, and Joris, and he, 173
Is there, for honest poverty, 151
It is not growing like a tree, 60
It was a summer's evening, 117
It was our warship Clampherdown, 154
It was the schooner Hesperus, 138
It was the time when lilies blow, 72
I wandered lonely as a cloud, 82
John Anderson, my jo, John, 274
King Francis was a hearty king and loved a royal sport, 184
Krinken was a little child, 162
Lars Porsena of Clusium, 193
Lead kindly light, amid th' encircling gloom, 224
Let dogs delight to bark and bite, 4
Life! I know not what thou art, 299
Little drops of water, 5
Little orphant Annie's come to our house to stay, 54
Little white lily, 10
"Make way for liberty!" he cried, 296
Maxwelton braes are bonnie, 226
Merrily swinging on brier and weed, 44
Methought I heard a butterfly, 42
'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, 220
Mine be a cot beside the hill, 272
My country 'tis of thee, 228
My fairest child, I have no song to give you, 21
My good blade carves the casques of men, 253
My heart leaps up when I behold, 28
My little Mädchen found one day, 149
My mind to me a kingdom is, 286
My soul is sailing through the sea, 219
Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold, 326
Nae shoon to hide her tiny taes, 4
No stir in the air, no stir in the sea, 145
Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note, 176
Now glory to the Lord of Hosts, from whom all glories are, 179
O, a dainty plant is the ivy green, 59
O Captain! my Captain, our fearful trip is done, 57
Of all the woodland creatures, 60
Oft in the stilly night, 266
Oh where! and oh where! is your Highland laddie gone, 20
Oh, young Lochinvar is come out of the West, 103
Old Grimes is dead; that good old man, 47
"O Mary, go and call the cattle home, 271
O, may I join the choir invisible, 303
Once a dream did wave a shade, 116
Once there was a little boy, 19
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, 289
On Linden, when the sun was low, 134
On the sea and at the Hogue, sixteen hundred ninety-two, 326
Out of the clover and blue-eyed grass, 160
Over the hill the farm-boy goes, 90
O! say can you see, by the dawn's early light, 31
O why should the spirit of mortal be proud, 323
Pussy can sit by the fire and sing, 8
Pibroch of Donuil Dhu, 126
Said the wind to the moon, "I will blow you out," 111
Sail on, sail on, O Ship of State, 227
Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled, 142
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, 301
Serene I fold my hands and wait, 267
Shed no tear! O shed no tear, 50
She dwelt among the untrodden ways, 272
She was a phantom of delight, 305
Speak! speak! thou fearful guest, 240
Stand! the ground's your own, my braves! 63
Sunset and evening star, 124
Sweet and low, sweet and low, 27
Tell me not in mournful numbers, 218
The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold, 158
The boy stood on the burning deck, 22
The breaking waves dashed high, 229
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, 306
The Frost looked forth, one still, clear night, 39
The gingham dog and the calico cat, 18
The God of Music dwelleth out of doors, 275
The harp that once through Tara's halls, 287
The nautilus and the ammonite, 188
The old mayor climb'd the belfry tower, 277
The Owl and the Pussy Cat went to sea, 15
The quality of mercy is not strained, 300
There came a youth upon the earth, 171
There came to port last Sunday night, 152
There lay upon the ocean's shore, 148
There was a sound of revelry by night, 177
There was never a Queen like Balkis, 7
There were three kings into the East, 83
There were three sailors of Bristol City, 41
The splendour falls on castle walls, 66
The stately homes of England, 192
The summer and autumn had been so wet, 166
The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home, 136
The world is too much with us; late and soon, 304
The year's at the spring, 6
Thirty days hath September, 7
This is the ship of pearl which, poets feign, 122
This was the noblest Roman of them all, 301
'Tis the last rose of summer, 225
T'other day as I was twining, 234
Traveller, pluck a stem of moly, 233
Triumphal arch that fills the sky, 53
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, 29
Twinkle, twinkle little star, 6
Under a spreading chestnut tree, 25
Up from the meadows rich with corn, 96
Up from the South at break of day, 68
Way down upon de Swanee ribber, 137
Wee, modest, crimson-tipped flower, 94
Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie, 92
Wee Willie Winkie rins through the town, 13
We were crowded in the cabin, 23
Whatever brawls disturb the street, 20
What is so rare as a day in June, 217
What is the voice I hear, 335
What was he doing, the great god Pan, 275
When cats run home and light is come, 40
When earth's last picture is painted, 285
When George the Third was reigning, a hundred years ago, 236
When I consider how my light is spent, 304
When Letty had scarce pass'd her third glad year, 115
Where the pools are bright and deep, 50
Wild was the night, yet a wilder night, 131
Winds of the world, give answer, 337
Woodman spare that tree, 222
Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night, 16
Ye banks and braes of bonnie Doon, 265
"You are old, Father William," the young man said, 33
You know, we French storm'd Ratisbon, 43
