      Look, you have cast out Love! What Gods are these 12

      Lord, Thou hast made this world below the shadow of a dream 59

      Man dies too soon, beside his works half-planned 182

      Me that ’ave been what I’ve been 113

      Much I owe to the Lands that grew 90

      My girl she give me the go onest 20

      My name, my speech, my self I had forgot 169

      My son was killed while laughing at some jest. I would I 168

      No doubt but ye are the People – your throne is above the King’s 95

      Nothing in life has been made by man for man’s using 187

      Now the New Year reviving old desires 42

      Now this is the Law of the Jungle – as old and as true as the sky 51

      On land and sea I strove with anxious care 171

      On the first hour of my first day 171

      Once, after long-drawn revel at The Mermaid 163

      Once on a time, the ancient legends tell 185

      One used and butchered me: another spied 174

      Open the old cigar-box, get me a Cuba stout 13

      Or ever the battered liners sank 183

      Our England is a garden that is full of stately views 147

      Pity not! The Army gave 169

      Prometheus brought down fire to men 171

      Prophets have honour all over the earth 121

      Pussy can sit by the fire and sing 101

      Queen Bess was Harry’s daughter. (Stand forward partners all!) 132

      Smells are surer than sounds or sights 116

      Soldier, soldier come from the wars 22

      Sudden the desert changes 91

      Take of English earth as much 129

      Take up the White Man’s burden 82

      That which is marred at birth Time shall not mend 191

      The beasts are very wise 38

      The blown sand heaps on me, that none may learn 170

      The boats of Newhaven and Folkstone and Dover 146

      The Camel’s hump is an ugly lump 99

      The Celt in all his variants from Builth to Ballyhoo 127

      The ’eathen in ’is blindness bows down to wood an’ stone 70

      The eldest son bestrides him 2

      The Garden called Gethsemane 163

      The General ’eard the firin’ on the flank 117

      The Gods that are wiser than Learning 189

      The Injian Ocean sets an’ smiles 49

      The men that fought at Minden, they was rookies in their time 67

      The merry clerks of Oxenford they stretch themselves at ease 178

      The road to En-Dor is easy to tread 161

      The ships destroy us above 150

      The Sons of Mary seldom bother, for they have inherited that good part 123

      The stream is shrunk – the pool is dry 69

      There is sorrow enough in the natural way 126

      They bear, in place of classic names 151

      They shall not return to us, the resolute, the young 154

      They shut the road through the woods 133

      This is the midnight – let no star 196

      This man in his own country prayed we know not to what Powers 169

      Though all the Dead were all forgot 189

      Thus said the Lord in the Vault above the Cherubim 47

      Too late, alas! the song 6

      Twenty bridges from Tower to Kew 142

      Unless you come of the gipsy stock 184

      Walpole talks of ‘a man and his price’ 5

      We are very slightly changed 1

      We counterfeited once for your disport 175

      We, giving all, gained all 170

      We have served our day 175

      We know the Rocket’s upward whizz 197

      We were all one heart and one race 139

      We were together since the War began 168

      We’ve sent our little Cupids all ashore 105

      ‘What are the bugles blowin’ for?’ said Files-on-Parade 17

      ‘What have we ever done to bear this grudge?’ 7

      What is a woman that you forsake her 119

      What is the moral? Who rides may read 16

      When all the world would keep a matter hid 158

      When Earth’s last picture is painted and the tubes are twisted and dried 44

      When I left Rome for Lalage’s sake 120

      When ’Omer smote ’is bloomin’ lyre 76

      When the ’arf-made recruity goes out to the East 29

      When the flush of a new-born sun fell first on Eden’s green and gold 31

      When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride 140

      When you come to London Town 181

      When you’ve shouted ‘Rule Britannia,’ when you’ve sung ‘God Save the Queen’ 88

      Where have you been this while away 40

      Where’s the lamp that Hero lit 125

      Who recalls the twilight and the ranged tents in order 111

      Why gird at Lollius if he care 180

      Winds of the World, give answer! They are whimpering to and fro 35

      You may talk o’ gin and beer 25

      Your jar of Virginny 135

      Youth that trafficked long with Death 195
