-
A Private
This ploughman dead in battle slept out of doors
-
Adlestrop
Yes, I remember Adlestrop --
-
Beauty
WHAT does it mean? Tired, angry, and ill at ease,
-
Bob's Lane
Women he liked, did shovel-bearded Bob,
-
Celandine
Thinking of her had saddened me at first,
-
Cock-Crow
OUT of the wood of thoughts that grows by night
-
If I Should Ever By Chance
IF I should ever by chance grow rich
-
Lights Out
I have come to the borders of sleep,
-
October
The green elm with the one great bough of gold
-
Rain
Rain, midnight rain, nothing but the wild rain
-
Snow
In the gloom of whiteness,
-
Sowing
IT was a perfect day
-
Tall Nettles
TALL nettles cover up, as they have done
-
Thaw
OVER the land half freckled with snow half-thawed
-
The Cherry Trees
The cherry trees bend over and are shedding,
-
The Long Small Room
THE long small room that showed willows in the west
-
The Manor Farm
THE rock-like mud unfroze a little, and rills
-
The New House
NOW first, as I shut the door,
-
The Owl
DOWNHILL I came, hungry, and yet not starved,
-
The Path
RUNNING along a bank, a parapet
-
The Sign-Post
The dim sea glints chill. The white sun is shy,
-
The Trumpet
Rise up, rise up,
-
The Word
There are so many things I have forgot,
-
When First I Came Here
WHEN first I came here I had hope,
