Like a blind spinner in the sun.
Like apple-blossoms, white and red.
Like as a ship, that through the ocean wide.
Like as the damask rose you see.
Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore.
Like rain-pools over Autumn leaves. i.
Like some lone miser, dear, behold me stand.
Like some vision olden.
Like the ghost of a dear friend dead.
Like the violet, which alone..
Like thee I once have stemmed the sea of life.
Like to Diana in her summer weed.
Like to the clear in highest sphere.
Like to the falling of a star..
Linger not long. Home is not home without thee.
Listen, my children, and you shall hear.
Listen to the water-mill..
Lithe and long as the serpent train.
Little baby, lay your head..
Little Bo-peep, she lost her sheep. .
Little boy blue, come blow your horn.
Little brown brother, oh! little brown brother.
Little children, never give.
Little drops of water..
Little Gustava sits in the sun..
Little I ask; my wants are few..
Little inmate, full of mirth...
Little Jack Horner sat in the corner.
Little lady of my heart...
Little Lamb, who made thee.
Little Miss Muffet..
Little Nanny Etticoat.
Little Orphant Annie's come to our house to stay..
Little Penelope Socrates.
Little Polly Flinders .
Little Prince Tatters has lost his cap.
Little Robin Redbreast sat upon a tree.
Little snatch of ancient song.
Little thinks, in the field, yon red-cloaked clown,
Little White Lily..
Lives in winter..
Lo! Death has reared himself a throne.
Lo! here a little volume, but great book.
Lo, if some pen should write upon your rafter.
Lo, the lilies of the field.
Lo! 'tis a gala night..
Lo, what wonders the day hath brought.
Lo, when the Lord made North and South.
Lo! where the rosy-bosomed Hours...
Long by the willow-trees...
Long from the lists of love I stood aloof.
Long legs, crooked thighs..
Long time a child, and still a child, when years.
Look at me with thy large brown eyes. .
Look, Delia, how we esteem the half-blown rose.
Look how the lark soars upward and is gone.
Look how the pale Queen of the silent night.
Look in my face; my name is Might-have-been.
Look in my face. My name is Used-to-was.
Look out upon the stars, my love.
Lord, for the erring thought..
Lord Lovel he stood at his castle gate..

264 Loud mockers in the roaring street.

3472 Love, brave Virtue's younger brother.

Mary had a little lamb
Mary! I want a lyre with other strings
Master of human destinies am I
Maud Muller all that summer day
Maud Muller on a summer's day
Maxwelton braes are bonnie .
May I find a woman fair
May! queen of blossoms .
Meadows with yellow cowslips all aglow
Men call you fair, and you do credit it
Men, dying, make their wills, but wives
Men say the sullen instrument
Merrily winging on brier and weed
Merry it is in the good greenwood
Merry Margaret
Methought I heard a butterfly
'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam ...
Midnight past! Not a sound of aught
Mild offspring of a dark and sullen sire.
Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour
Mimi, do you remember.
Mine are the night and morning
Mine be a cot beside the hill..
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
Mine to the core of the heart, my beauty
Miniver Cheevy, child of scorn
Miss Flora McFlimsey, of Madison Square .
Mistress Mary, quite contrary .
Moan, moan, ye dying gales
Monday's child is fair of face .
Monsieur the Curé down the street
Moon in heaven's garden, among the clouds that wander
Moon, so round and yellow
More love or more disdain I crave.
More than half beaten, but fearless
More than most fair, full of the living fire.
Mortality, behold and fear.
Most glorious Lord of Life! that on this day
Most men know love but as a part of life ...
Most sweet it is with unuplifted eyes
Most worthy of praise were the virtuous ways
Mother, I cannot mind my wheel .
Mountain gorses, ever golden ..
Mowers, weary and brown, and blithe
Much have I traveled in the realms of gold
My aunt! my dear unmarried aunt
"My birth-day"--what a different sound
My brier that smelledst sweet .
My child came to me with the equinox .
My country, 'tis of thee...
My Damon was the first to wake
My Daphne's hair is twisted gold
My day and night are in my lady's hand
My days among the Dead are passed
My dear and only Love, I pray
My dear, do you know..
My dear mistress has a heart .
My Dearling!-thus, in days long fled
My delight and thy delight
My fairest child, I have no song to give you
My fairest spirit was sitting in the light
My Feet they haul me 'round the House

My good blade carves the casques of men
My hair is gray, but not with years .
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains.
My heart is chilled and my pulse is slow
My heart is like a fountain true ..
My heart is like a singing bird
My heart leaps up when I behold
My heart shall be thy garden. Come, my own
My heart the Anvil where my thoughts do beat
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here.
My hero is na decked wi' gowd.
My lady seems of ivory .
My lady walks her morning round
My Lady Wind, my Lady Wind
My Lady's birthday crowns the growing year
My Lady's presence makes the Roses red
My Lesbia, I will not deny..
My letters! all dead paper, mute and white
My life is like the summer rose .
My little dears, who learn to read, pray early learn to shun
My little girl is nested .
My little love, do you remember
My little Mädchen found one day
My little Son, who looked from thoughtful eyes
My Lord would make a cross for me.
My love and I, the other day
My love he built me a bonnie bower
My Love bound me with a kiss
My love comes down from the mountain
My Love dwelt in a Northern land.
My love for thee doth march like armed men
My love in her attire doth show her wit...
My love she's but a lassie yet...
My loved, my honored, much-respected friend
My mind to me a kingdom is
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
My mother bids me bind my hair ..
My mother bore me in the southern wild
"My mother says I must not pass
My new-cut ashlar takes the light
My ornaments are arms..
My Peggy is a young thing
My poet, thou canst touch on all the notes
My prime of youth is but a frost of cares
My sheep I neglected, I broke my sheep-crook
My silks and fine array
My soul, there is a country
My soul today ...
My spirit, in the doorway's pause
My spotless love hovers, with purest wings
My sweetest Lesbia, let us live and love.
My temples throb, my pulses boil .
My tent stands in a garden.
My thoughts by night are often filled
My true love hath my heart, and I have his
Myrtilla, tonight
Mysterious night! Spread wide thy silvery plume
Mysterious Night! when our first parent knew .

PAGE Nature, in thy largess, grant..

1261 Nature reads not our labels, "great" and "small'

2895 Nay, be you pardoner or cheat.

1790 Nay but you, who do not love her

$3S Nay, tell me now in what strange air

1725 Nay, why should I fear Death :

3207 Nay, you wrong her, my friend, she's not fickle; her love she has simply outgrown ,

999 Needles and pins, needles and pins

61 Needy knife-grinder! whither are you going.

1788 Never any more

097 Never give all the heart, for love

406 Never love unless you can.

782 Never mind how the pedagogue proses

1053 Never more will I protest

784 Never seek to tell thy love

805 Never the time and the place

865 Nigh to a grave that was newly made

3229 Night is the time for rest.

1284 Nightingale I never heard

1485 Nightingales warble about it.

489 No baby in the house, I know

23 No coward soul is mine

3266 No fault in women to refuse .

1833 No longer mourn for me when I am dead

1213 No matter how the chances are

1185 No more, my Dear, no more these counsels try No need to hush the children for her sake

3332 No, no! go not to Lethe, neither twist . No stir in the air, no stir in the sea

1571 No sun--no moon

1080 No truer word, save God's, was ever spoken

1848 Nobles and heralds, by your leave ..

1849 Nor force nor fraud shall sunder us! oh ye,

2153 Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note Not a sou had he got--not a guinea or note

1865 Not as all other women are

1179 Not by the ball or brand

3376 Not, Celia, that I juster am

588 Not far from old Kinvara, in the merry month of May

732 Not far from Paris, in fair Fontainebleau.

3412 Not I myself know all my love for thee Not on the neck of prince or hound.

2819 "Not ours," say some, “the thought of death to dread'

3216 Not ours the vows of such as plight,

845 Not she with traitorous kiss her Saviour stung

363 "Not to be tuneless in old age”.

3411 Not with slow, funercal sound

3421 Not yet, dear love, not yet: the sun is high

005 Now ain't they utterly too-too

1886 Now are the winds about us in their glee

1307 Now fades the last long streak of snow.

1200 “Now for a brisk and cheerful fight”

2302 Now gentle sleep hath closed up those eyes

057 Now glory to the Lord of Hosts, from whom all glories are 2302 "Now I lay me down to sleep"

448
Now in her green mantle blithe Nature arrays
Now is done thy long day's work..
Now many are the stately ships that northward steam away.
Now ponder well, you parents dear

179 Now poor Tom Dunstan's cold .

2870 Now the bright morning-star, day's harbinger.
