Book I.—Life:
Success
Our share of night to bear
Rouge et Noir
Rouge gagne
Glee! the storm is over
If I can stop one heart from breaking
Almost
A wounded deer leaps highest
The heart asks pleasure first
In a Library
Much madness is divinest sense
I asked no other thing
Exclusion
The Secret
The Lonely House
To fight aloud is very brave
Dawn
The Book of Martyrs
The Mystery of Pain
I taste a liquor never brewed
A Book
I had no time to hate, because
Unreturning
Whether my bark went down at sea
Belshazzar had a letter
The brain within its groove
Book II.—Love:
Mine
Bequest
Alter? When the hills do
Suspense
Surrender
If you were coming in the fall
With a Flower

Have you got a brook in your little heart?

In Vain
Renunciation

New feet within my garden go

Perhaps you ‘d like to buy a flower
The pedigree of honey

The bee is not afraid of me
Summer’s Armies
The Grass
A little road not made of man
Summer Shower
Psalm of the Day
The Sea of Sunset
Purple Clover
The Bee
Presentiment is that long shadow
As children bid the guest good-night
Angels in the early morning
So bashful when I spied her
Two Worlds
The Mountain
A Day
The butterfly’s assumption-gown
The Wind
Death and Life
‘T was later when the summer went
Indian Summer
Autumn
Beclouded
The Hemlock
There’s a certain slant of light
Book IV.—Time and Eternity:
One dignity delays for all
Too late
Astra Castra
Safe in their alabaster chambers
On this long storm the rainbow rose
From the Chrysalis
Setting Sail
Look back on time with kindly eyes
A train went through a burial gate
I died for beauty, but was scarce
Troubled about many things
Real
The Funeral
I went to thank her
I’ve seen a dying eye…
