She dwelt among the untrodden ways She is not fair to outward view. She was a phantom of delight Since there's no help, come let us kiss and part Soul, heart, and body, we thus singly name Such ones ill judge of Love that cannot love Sweet fa's the eve on Craigie-burn Sweet Love, but oh! most dread Desire of Love Take, oh take those lips away Tell me not, sweet, I am unkind That which her slender waist confined The bee to the heather The castled crag of Drachenfels The day is come, and thou wilt fly with me The first wild rose in wayside hedge. The joys of Love, if they should ever last. The nightingale has a lyre of gold There grew a lowly flower by Eden-gate. The serpent is shut out from paradise They never come back, though I loved them well Things base and vile, holding no quantity Though I am young and cannot tell. Thou know'st how guiltless first I met thy flame Three, only three, my darling To make a final conquest of all me To thy lover Trust me, I have not earned your dear rebuke. 99 17 48 85 85 210 205 13 143 31 207 153 170 201 Was this the face that launched a thousand ships 211 186 138 176 What light is light, if Silvia be not seen? What you do When do I see thee most, beloved one When first we met we did not guess When I am dead, my dearest When thou, poor excommunicate When to her lute Corinna sings. When we two parted When Winter hoar no longer holds Where shall the lover rest. Where, upon Apennine slope, with the chestnut the oak-trees immingle. Who is Silvia? what is she Why, having won her, do I woo Why should'st thou swear I am forsworn. Why weep ye by the tide, ladie. With all my will, but much against my heart PAGE 169 154 201 IO 198 127 21 104 185 193 178 9 119 7 104 163 87 188 51 194 Ye banks and braes and streams around Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon You are a tulip seen to-day You that do search for every purling spring MESSRS. MACMILLAN & CO.'S PUBLICATIONS. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. Fcap. 8vo. 5s. POEMS. By WILLIAM WATSON. Mainly a reprint of the second edition of "Wordsworth's Grave" and other Poems. TIMES.-"It is true poetry; its inspiration is genuine and individual, and its execution is full of various melody." SCOTSMAN.-"There is always something true, manful, robust, and musical in his work.” SATURDAY REVIEW.-" "Wordsworth's Grave' and some of the sonnets might alone suffice for a high reputation. Their excellence is of a kind that admits of no dispute." PALL MALL GAZETTE.-"The verse has a calm sweep, a grave and equable power, a solid and chastened melody." SPECTATOR." He is always classical in the better sense of the word." ACADEMY (Mr. COSMO MONKHOUSE)." It is of Collins' lonely vesper-chime' and 'the frugal note of Gray' that we think as we read the choicely-worded, well-turned quatrains that succeed each other, like the strong, unbroken waves of a full tide." OBSERVER.-"The verse is touched with an ardour of emotion, informed with a vigour of thought, and elevated by a distinction of style, which are among the surest marks of the poet." BOOKMAN.-"The Raven's Shadow' is obscurely fine; 'The Mock Self' profoundly true; 'The Glimpse' a perfect gem of feeling and expression." ANTI-JACOBIN.-" He is pre-eminently a master of form,—of its proportions, its symmetries, its firm enclosing outlines, which must be seen altogether if they are to be seen at all." Mr. W. D. HOWELLS in HARPÈR'S MAGAZINE.-"The very rare and beautiful quality of Mr. William Watson's poetry." Mr. WALTER BESANT in the AUTHOR.-"The contents of this book have in them such a ring of poetry as we have not heard for a long time, the true ring of noble thought embedded in noble rhyme." Mr. GRANT ALLEN in the FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW.-"In its own kind, I venture to say, since In Memoriam burst upon us, we have not heard from any new tongue quite so authentic a voice, so large and whole an utterance; we have not met anywhere with such close marks of kinship to the sanest work of the great English singers." Mr. ANDREW LANG in LONGMAN'S MAGAZINE.-"The verse is so excellent that we may call it finished and almost perfect." Now ready. Fcap. 8vo. Cloth. 4s. 6d. LACRYMÆ MUSARUM, and other Poems.
