30272You dear children,thought the white cat,"why do you come to play here at all?
30272A voice that seemed to come from nowhere asked--"Are you ready, Willie?"
30272And are the frogs a- wooing?
30272And what shall we give you for tea?
30272And why do n''t they come to see me marry?
30272But the carriage turned over, the poor goat shied, The little belle laughed, the silly beaux cried, And the tinker fumed,"Oh, why do they tarry?
30272Dear swallows, have you brought us a message?"
30272For father''s heart seems always near, And who can tell but he may hear, Or know the words we say?
30272He clasped the goat yet a little closer, and called out,"Apple- blossom, I am waiting; are you here?"
30272Now what shall we talk of, my own dollies fair?
30272She will start up and listen, wondering how long she has been sleeping, and then she will call out--"Oh, my darlings, is it you?"
30272That queer little thing with the short frizzy hair, Why does he keep looking at me?

30272Then she asked,"Did you ever eat your porridge too hot and burn your tongue?"

30272What are you doing to it, you naughty boy?"
30272What do you do when you want to do your best,--your very, very best?"
30272What shall I do?"
30272What shall we do to see them?"
30272Whither?
30272Who knows but what, out there, your ball might touch the sky?
30272Why should I think of you?"
30272Will it be summer when they have gone by?"
30272Will no one come to play with me?
30272Will you give me some spurs?"
30272and are your eyes as blue as ever; or have the sad tears dimmed them?
30272and is your hair golden still?

30272slumbering yet, When the day''s so warm and bright?
30272the little one cried out in terror;"does the horse make that noise along the floor?"
30272they sighed many a time,"why are you staying?

16686And who that loves hues Could fail to mention The wonderful blues Of the mountain gentian?"
16686And who, when little Sister ails, Can comfort her, but me?

16686Are you tired, little Sister?
16686But what were the feelings of Master Blue Shell?
16686Can any one look so wise, and have so little in his head?

16686Could they, Mamma?"
16686Dear Mamma made you this fine berceaunette, Muslin and rose- colour, ribbon and lace; When had a baby a cosier place?
16686Did I triumph alone?
16686Did you ever meet one, and is it really like the dragons on our very old best blue tea- things?"
16686Do n''t you get tired of doing nothing, and worse tired still if you do anything; and does everything wobble about when you walk?
16686Do n''t you wish you were well?
16686Do you never stir?

16686HOW MANY YEARS AGO?
16686Have n''t you got out of bed?"
16686He said,"What''s the matter?"
16686Host, pray who''s within?"
16686How can you give people treats who can order what they wish for far better than you?
16686How long will it be, Papa Poodle, before you have learned to read?
16686How many years ago, love, Since you came courting me?
16686How many years ago, love, Since you to Father spoke?
16686I came away, though loth to come, I clung, and yet why should I cling?
16686I dare not give myself away; For what would Mother do?
16686I do hate convalescence, do n''t you?"
16686I ran to the window and said,"What is it, dear Fritz?"
16686I said,"Are you a sea- captain?"
16686I said,"But_ would n''t_ you rather be in battles than in bed, with your head aching as if it would split?"
16686I said,"ca n''t I come too?"
16686I wonder, if I let you off lessons, whether I could teach you to pull the string with your teeth, and fire our new gun?
16686If I learn to be patient, shall I learn to be brave, do you think?
16686If horses should be shod with iron, Big Smith, will you shoe mine?
16686Is it because they are allowed to go out in bad weather?
16686Maiden with the gipsy face, If thou canst not tell me all, Tell me thus much, of thy grace, Should I climb, or fear to fall?

16686Or is your life, like other lives, a dream?
16686Or, as you smile and hover, Are you not rather some fond goddess of the skies who waits a mortal lover?
16686Seeing what none else may see, Dost thou see the man in grey?
16686She says we do it on purpose, and never try to take care; But if things have got to go to the wash, what can it matter how dirty they are?
16686Should I dare, or dread to dare?
16686Should I speak, or silent be?
16686Should I wonder to hear it?
16686So I asked him,"Have you got convalescence?
16686The question is-- Did Thomas find them?
16686They say that Dapple- grey''s not yours, but do n''t you wish he were?
16686Timely we d, or single be?

16686Why?
16686Would n''t you rather be ill than only better?
16686Would n''t you rather go back to bed?
16686You wag your tail at that, do you?
16686You would like it a great deal better?

18909What if, aweary of the strife That long has lured the dear deceiver, She promise to amend her life, And sin no more; can I believe her? 18909 What if, in spite of her disdain, I find my heart entwined about With Cupid''s dear, delicious chain So closely that I ca n''t get out?
18909What''s that?
18909Where did it come from?
18909Who planted this old apple- tree?
18909Whom should I marry? 18909 Why do n''t you laugh?
18909Will you trust me, Katie dear,-- Walk beside me without fear? 18909 You did?
18909Your name?
18909_ We Are Seven--A simple Child, That lightly draws its breath, And feels its life in every limb, What should it know of death? 18909 --and I seized the little lad;How can you dare to rob your wife and your little helpless child?"
189099''?
18909A Child''s Thought of God They say that God lives very high; But if you look above the pines You can not see our God; and why?
18909A funeral?
18909Ai n''t I always been a pardner to you?
18909Ai n''t I always been your friend?
18909Ai n''t he a funny old Raggedy Man?
18909Ai n''t he the beanin''est Raggedy Man?
18909Ai n''t nu''h''n but_ rocks_?
18909Ai n''t you satisfied at all?
18909All my pennies do n''t I spend In getting nice things for you?
18909Am I blind or lame?
18909Am I lazy or crazy?
18909An''that t''other thing?
18909An''then that feller looked around An''seed me there, down on the ground, An''--was he mad?
18909An''w''y fer is you''s little foot tied, Little cat?
18909And Sis?--has she grown tall?
18909And is n''t it, my boy or girl, The wisest, bravest plan, Whatever comes, or does n''t come, To do the best you can?
18909And mother-- does she fade at all?
18909And now she watches the pathway, As yester eve she had done; But what does she see so strange and black Against the rising sun?
18909And oft the young lads shouted, when they saw the maid at play:"Ho, good- for- nothing Brier- Rose, how do you do to- day?"
18909And shall this man dictate to us?
18909And suppose the world do n''t please you, Nor the way some people do, Do you think the whole creation Will be altered just for you?
18909And tell me now, what makes thee sing, With voice so loud and free, While I am sad, though I''m a king, Beside the river Dee?"
18909And the brown thrush keeps singing,"A nest do you see, And five eggs hid by me in the juniper tree?
18909And what does he say, little girl, little boy?
18909And what is so rare as a day in June?
18909And what meaneth that stifled murmur of wonder and amaze?
18909And what shall_ I_ say, if a wretch should propose?
18909And when they were alone, the angel said,"Art thou the king?"
18909And whom bury ye today?
18909And would n''t it be nicer For you to smile than pout, And so make sunshine in the house When there is none without?
18909And would n''t it be nobler To keep your temper sweet, And in your heart be thankful You can walk upon your feet?
18909And would n''t it be pleasanter To treat it as a joke, And say you''re glad"''Twas Dolly''s And not your head that broke"?
18909And would n''t it be wiser Than waiting like a dunce, To go to work in earnest And learn the thing at once?
18909And your age?"
18909Any memory of his sermon?
18909Are n''t we picking up folks just as fast as they fall?
18909Art thou a mourner?
18909Art thou afraid?"
18909Away with a bellow fled the calf, And what was that?
18909Aye?
18909Bearing his load on the rough road of life?
18909Before her stood fair Bregenz, once more her towers arose; What were the friends beside her?
18909Bob kept askin''for a job, And the Boss, he says:"What kind?"
18909Boy, whah''s de raisin''I give you?
18909Brave Adm''r''l, say but one good word: What shall we do when hope is gone?
18909Brave Adm''r''l, speak; what shall I say?"
18909Bright jewels of the mine?
18909But here the pitcher twirled again-- was that a rifle shot?
18909But the treasures-- how to get them?
18909But vot off dot?
18909But where was the child delaying?
18909But who that fought in the big war Such dread sights have not seen?
18909But why does a sudden tremor seize on them as they gaze?
18909Cain''t tell w''en dey''s ripe?
18909Can you hear?"
18909Come you back to Mandalay, Where the old flotilla lay: Ca n''t you''ear their paddles chunkin''from Rangoon to Mandalay?
18909Come, haste"?
18909Did dey pisen you''s tummick inside, Little cat?
18909Did dey pound you wif bricks, Or wif big nasty sticks, Or abuse you wif kicks, Little cat?
18909Did he die like a craven, Begging those torturing fiends for his life?
18909Did it hurt werry bad w''en you died, Little cat?
18909Did the gosling laugh?
18909Did you kiss me and call me"Mother"--and hold me to your breast, Or is it one of the taunting dreams that come to mock my rest?
18909Do n''t I give you lots of cake?
18909Do n''t ye see I have her with me-- my poor sainted little Belle?''
18909Do n''t you hear?
18909Do you not know me?
18909Do you see her little hand beckoning?
18909Do you see o''er the gilded cloud mountains Sister''s golden hair streaming out?
18909Do you think that Katie guessed Half the wisdom she expressed?
18909Do you think, sir, if you try, You can paint the look of a lie?
18909Does half my heart lie buried there In Texas, down by the Rio Grande?
18909Does he see the ruddy wine Shiver in its crystal goblet, or do those grave eyes divine Something sadder yet?
18909Does he see the waxen bloom Tremble in its vase of silver?
18909Does no voice within Answer my cry, and say we are akin?"
18909Does the leetle, chatterin'', sassy wren, No bigger''n my thumb, know more than men?
18909Dost reel from righteous retribution''s blow?
18909Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast?
18909En wut you s''posen Brer Bascom, yo''teacher at Sunday school,''Ud say ef he knowed how you''s broke de good Lawd''s Gol''n Rule?
18909Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold, And to the Presence in the room he said,"What writest thou?"
18909Firstly?
18909For angels have golden tresses And eyes like sister''s, blue?
18909Have I been here long?
18909Have the loving voice and the Helping Hand brought back my wandering son?
18909He asks me questions sooch as dese: Who baints mine nose so red?
18909Here hath been dawning another blue day: Think, wilt thou let it slip useless away?
18909His brothers had walked but a little way When Jotham to Nathan chanced to say,"What on airth is he up to, hey?"
18909Ho, ho, pale brother,"said the Wine,"Can you boast of deeds as great as mine?"
18909How answer his brute question in that hour When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the world?
18909How gan I all dese dings eggsblain To dot schmall Yawcob Strauss?
18909How many ages in time?
18909How many days in a week?
18909How many hours in a day?
18909How many minutes in an hour?
18909How many months in a year?
18909How many seconds in a minute?
18909How many weeks in a month?
18909How many years in an age?
18909I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song?
18909I do''want no foolin''--you hear me?
18909I staggered faintly in, Fearing--_what_?
18909I''ll light on the libbe''ty- pole, an''crow; An''I''ll say to the gawpin''fools below,''What world''s this''ere That I''ve come near?''
18909If a storm should come and awake the deep What matter?
18909If by easy work you beat, Who the more will prize you?
18909If the men_ were_ so wicked, I''ll ask my papa How he dared to propose to my darling mamma; Was he like the rest of them?
18909In the laugh that rings so gayly through the richly curtained room, Join they all, save one; Why is it?
18909Is his heaven far to seek for those who drown?"
18909Is it possible?
18909Is it worth while that we battle to humble Some poor fellow down into the dust?
18909Is it worth while that we jeer at each other In blackness of heart that we war to the knife?
18909Is n''t it true?
18909Is the pudding done?
18909Is this a hoax?
18909Is this the dream He dreamed who shaped the suns And pillared the blue firmament with light?
18909Is you boun''fuh ter be a black villiun?
18909Is you''s purrin''an''humpin''-up done?
18909Is your heart an ocean so strong and deep I may launch my all on its tide?
18909Jest fold our hands an''see the swaller, An''blackbird an''catbird beat us holler?
18909Maggie, sister''s an angel, Is n''t she?
18909May I carry, if I will, All your burdens up the hill?"
18909Men who had fought ten to one ere that day?
18909Morgan-- Morgan is waiting for me; Oh, what will Morgan say?"
18909Must we give in,"Says he with a grin,"''T the bluebird an''phoebe Are smarter''n we be?
18909My labor never flags; And what are its wages?
18909No?
18909Not Sunday?
18909Now ai n''t you ashamed er yo''se''lf sur?
18909Now if from here to Morrow is a fourteen- hour jump, Can you go to- day to Morrow and come back to- day, you chump?"
18909Now the smiles are thicker-- wonder what they mean?
18909Now, Maggie, I''ve something to tell you-- Let me lean up to you close-- Do you see how the sunset has flooded The heavens with yellow and rose?
18909Now, tell me, Are you guilty of this, or no?"
18909Now_ my_ hair is n''t golden, My eyes are n''t blue, you see-- Now tell me, Maggie, if I were to die, Could they make an angel of me?
18909O masters, lords and rulers in all lands, How will the Future reckon with this man?
18909O masters, lords and rulers in all lands, Is this the handiwork you give to God, This monstrous thing distorted and soul- quenched?
18909Oh, let us be married,--too long we have tarried,-- But what shall we do for a ring?"
18909Oh, w''y did n''t yo wun off and hide, Little cat?
18909Oh, when its aged branches throw Thin shadows on the ground below, Shall fraud and force and iron will Oppress the weak and helpless still?
18909Or does she seem to pine and fret For me?
18909Remember the story of Elihu Burritt, An''how he clum up to the top, Got all the knowledge''at he ever had Down in a blacksmithing shop?
18909Rouse thee from thy spell; Art thou a sinner?
18909Said I,"I guess you know it all, but kindly let me say, How can I go to Morrow, if I leave the town to- day?"
18909Said I,"I want to go to Morrow; can I go to- day And get to Morrow by to- night, if there is no delay?"
18909Said I,"My boy, it seems to me you''re talking through your hat, Is there a town named Morrow on your line?
18909Say, stummick, what''s the matter, You had to go an''ache?
18909Say, what''s the matter with you?
18909Secondly?
18909Seek''st thou the plashy brink Of weedy lake, or marge of river wide, Or where the rocking billows rise and sink On the chafed ocean- side?
18909Shall I tell you where and when?
18909Shall he?
18909Shall not the roaring waters their headlong gallop check?
18909Shall she let it ring?
18909Shall we be trotting home again?"
18909Should it be A dashing damsel, gay and pert, A pattern of inconstancy; Or selfish, mercenary flirt?
18909Slave of the wheel of labor, what to him Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades?
18909So shalt thou rest, and what if thou withdraw In silence from the living, and no friend Take note of thy departure?
18909So she resolutely walked up to the wagon old and red--"May I have a dozen apples for a kiss?"
18909Suppose that some boys have a horse, And some a coach and pair, Will it tire you less while walking To say,"It is n''t fair"?
18909Suppose you''re dressed for walking, And the rain comes pouring down, Will it clear off any sooner Because you scold and frown?
18909Suppose your task, my little man, Is very hard to get, Will it make it any easier For you to sit and fret?
18909Suppose, my dear, I take my knife, And cut the rope to save my life?"
18909THEN DID HE BLENCH?
18909Tell me dat, Did dey holler at all when you cwied?
18909Tell me, darling, will you be The wife of Bobby Shaftoe?"
18909That old familiar tree, Whose glory and renown Are spread o''er land and sea-- And wouldst thou hew it down?
18909The Baby Where did you come from, baby dear?
18909The Pilgrims came to Plymouth Rock In fourteen ninety- two, An''the Indians standin''on the dock Asked,"What are you goin''to do?"
18909The Tree bore his blossoms, and all the birds sung:"Shall I take them away?"
18909The Tree bore his fruit in the midsummer glow: Said the child,"May I gather thy berries now?"
18909The Wind, he took to his revels once more; On down In town, Like a merry- mad clown, He leaped and halloed with whistle and roar,"What''s that?"
18909The church, a phantom, vanished soon; What saw the teacher then?
18909The old man-- is he hearty yet?
18909The weather was bitter cold, The young ones cried and shivered--( Little Johnny''s but four years old)-- So what was I to do, sir?
18909Then I felt myself pulled once again, and my hand caught tight hold of a dress, And I heard,"What''s the matter, dear Jim?
18909Then said,"Who art thou, and why com''st thou here?"
18909Then why should I sit in the scorner''s seat, Or hurl the cynic''s ban?
18909There were men with hoary hair Amidst that pilgrim band: Why had they come to wither there Away from their childhood''s land?
18909There, do n''t hold my hands, Maggie, I do n''t feel like tearing it now; But-- where was I in my story?
18909They scrape away a little snow; What''s this?
18909Tom was only a moderate drinker; ah, sir, do you bear in mind How the plodding tortoise in the race left the leaping hare behind?
18909Und vhere der plaze goes vrom der lamp Vene''er der glim I douse?
18909Up spoke our own little Mabel, Saying,"Father, who makes it snow?"
18909W''y is dat?
18909Waking or asleep, Thou of death must deem Things more true and deep Than we mortals dream, Or how could thy notes flow in such a crystal stream?
18909Was that thunder?
18909Was there a man dismay''d?
18909Was there a soldier who carried the Seven Flinched like a coward or fled from the strife?
18909We shall be so kind in the after while, But what have we been to- day?
18909We shall bring to each lonely life a smile, But what have we brought to- day?
18909We shall give out gold in princely sum, But what did we give to- day?
18909What ails you, Hal?
18909What does little baby say In her bed at peep of day?
18909What fields, or waves, or mountains?
18909What is the use of heapin''on me a pauper''s shame?
18909What love of thine own kind?
18909What means this great commotion?
18909What means this stir in Rome?
18909What objects are the fountains Of thy happy strain?
18909What plant we in this apple- tree?
18909What plant we in this apple- tree?
18909What plant we in this apple- tree?
18909What recked he?
18909What recked those who followed?
18909What shall the tasks of mercy be, Amid the toils, the strifes, the tears Of those who live when length of years Is wasting this apple- tree?
18909What shapes of sky or plain?
18909What sought they thus afar?
18909What the long reaches of the peaks of song, The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose?
18909What thou art we know not; What is most like thee?
18909What was done?
18909What whistle''s that, yelling so shrill?
18909What''s he got on?
18909What?
18909When can their glory fade?
18909When pain and sickness made me cry, Who gazed upon my heavy eye, And wept, for fear that I should die?
18909When sleep forsook my open eye, Who was it sung sweet lullaby And rocked me that I should not cry?
18909When the sun goes down with a flaming ray And the dear friends have to part?
18909When you were home, old comrade, say, Did you see any of our folks?
18909Where breathes the foe but falls before us, With Freedom''s soil beneath our feet, And Freedom''s banner streaming o''er us?
18909Where now the solemn shade, Verdure and gloom where many branches meet; So grateful, when the noon of summer made The valleys sick with heat?
18909Where should I fly to, Where go to sleep in the dark wood or dell?
18909Who fathoms the Eternal Thought?
18909Who has seen the wind?
18909Who is he That every man in arms should wish to be?
18909Who knows whither the clouds have fled?
18909Who knows?
18909Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw?
18909Who made him dead to rapture and despair, A thing that grieves not and that never hopes, Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox?
18909Who ran to help me when I fell And would some pretty story tell, Or kiss the part to make it well?
18909Who sat and watched my infant head When sleeping in my cradle bed, And tears of sweet affection shed?
18909Who talks of scheme and plan?
18909Who taught my infant lips to pray, To love God''s holy word and day, And walk in wisdom''s pleasant way?
18909Who vos it cuts dot schmoodth blace oudt Vrom der hair ubon mine he d?
18909Who won the war?
18909Who won the war?
18909Who won the war?
18909Who won the war?
18909Who won the war?
18909Who won the war?
18909Who''s to blame?"
18909Who, Harry?
18909Who?
18909Whose breath blew out the light within this brain?
18909Whose heart hath ne''er within him burned, As home his footsteps he hath turned From wandering on a foreign strand?
18909Whose the fault then?
18909Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow?
18909Why ai n''t you a friend o''mine?
18909Why do n''t you tell me like a man: What is the matter with our folks?"
18909Why do yonder sorrowing maidens scatter flowers along the way?
18909Why is the Forum crowded?
18909Why look so pale and so sad, as for ever Wishing to weep?"
18909Why should people of sense stop to put up a fence, While the ambulance works in the valley?"
18909Why, sir, you''re crying as hard as I; what-- is it really done?
18909Why, what''s the mattter, friend?
18909Will he dare it, the hero undaunted, that terrible, sickening height, Or will the hot blood of his courage freeze in his veins at the sight?
18909Will he fall?

19469But if some maid with beauty blest, As pure and fair as Heaven can make her, Will share my labor and my rest Till envious Death shall overtake her? 19469 But if some maiden with a heart On me should venture to bestow it, Pray should I act the wiser part To take the treasure or forgo it?
19469But is there nothing in thy track To bid thee fondly stay, While the swift seasons hurry back To find the wished- for day?
19469But what if, seemingly afraid To bind her fate in Hymen''s fetter, She vow she means to die a maid, In answer to my loving letter? 19469 But, my good mother, do you know All this was twenty years ago?
19469Could their ears believe aright?
19469Dear Father, hast Thou a new leaf for me? 19469 Do you think I will take your bounty, And let you smile and think You''re doing a noble action With the parish''s meat and drink?
19469I rushed from the room like a madman, And flew to the workhouse gate, Crying''Food for a dying woman?'' 19469 I''se a letter, Mr. Postman; Is there room for any more?
19469Is it''cause my aunty grieved you?
19469Is there no hope, no chance of life?
19469It is very cruel, too,Said little Alice Neal;"I wonder if he knew How sad the bird would feel?"
19469John Maynard, can you still hold out?
19469Missus,says I,"if you please, mum, Could I ax you for a rose?
19469Now, who would cross the Ohio, This dark and stormy water?
19469Now,said the deacon,"shall we pray?"
19469Oh, where shall I find a little foot- page That would win both hose and shoon, And will bring to me the Singing Leaves If they grow under the moon?
19469Our swords may cleave the casques of men, Our blood may stain the sod, But what are human strength and power Without the help of God?
19469Sprinkled or plunged-- may I ask you, friend, How you attained to life''s great end?
19469The other day?
19469Then we dot up, and payed dust as well as we tould, And Dod answered our payers; now was n''t he dood?
19469Then,said Tommy,"tell me, Jessie, how can I the Saviour love, When I''m down in this''ere cellar, and He''s up in heaven above?"
19469Two?
19469Wal-- no-- I come dasignin''--"To see my Ma?
19469Well, why tant we pray dest as mamma did then, And ask Him to send him with presents aden?
19469What if, in spite of her disdain, I find my heart entwined about With Cupid''s dear, delicious chain So closely that I ca n''t get out? 19469 What strength or power,"the statesman cried,"Could such a judgement bring?
19469What? 19469 Where is the Earl of Holderness?"
19469Which shall it be? 19469 Whom should I marry?
19469Yer can see me, ca n''t yer, Jesus? 19469 You want to see my Pa, I s''pose?"
19469''Twas lots of work, you think?
19469''Twas well she died before-- Do you know If the happy spirits in heaven can see The ruin and wretchedness here below?
19469''tis a pretty sum; I wish I had as much at home: I''d like to know, as I''m a sinner, What lucky fellow is the winner?"
19469--"Miserable man, You''re mad as the sea,--you rave,-- What have I to forgive?"
19469101 Who comes dancing over the snow 153 Who dat knockin''at de do''?
19469174 Han''some, stranger?
1946992 What flower is this that greets the morn 85 What makes the dog''s nose always cold?
19469Aftah all de pains I''s took, Cain''t you tell me how I look?
19469After the journey is over What is the use of them; how Can they carry them who must be carried?
19469Ai n''t them high?
19469An''leave the foe to welter where their blood had made a pool; But how can I git famous?
19469And after him, with his MSS., Came Wesley, the pattern of godliness, But he cried,"Dear me, what shall I do?
19469And did he marry her, you ask?
19469And didst thou visit him no more?
19469And have the lips of a sister fair Been baptized in their waves of light?
19469And hop''st thou hence unscathed to go?
19469And shall I fear to own His cause?"
19469And sin no more; can I believe her?
19469And so anxiously he asked her,"Is there really such a place?"
19469And though you be done to the death, what then?
19469And what are the names of the Fortunate Isles?
19469And what is so huge as the aim of it?
19469And who will cheer my bonny bride, If yet they shall arrest me?"
19469And would you, who hear this simple tale, Pray for the poor, and praying,"prevail"?
19469Apples?
19469Are You Here?
19469Are You Here?
19469Are n''t we, Roger?
19469Are the ninety and nine, All so safe and so fine, Not enough for the shepherd to keep?"
19469Are you cutting out all that is mean?
19469Are you easing the load Of overtaxed lifters, who toil down the road?
19469Are you finding your work a delight?
19469Are you going straight At a hustling gait?
19469Are you hoeing your row neat and clean?
19469Better?
19469Black yer boots, sir?
19469Brininstool._ Which Shall It Be?
19469But his little daughter whispered, As she took his icy hand,"Is n''t God upon the ocean, Just the same as on the land?"
19469But there came to the Crumpetty Tree Mr. and Mrs. Canary; And they said,"Did ever you see Any spot so charmingly airy?
19469But where is he, that helmsman bold?
19469But who shall dare To measure loss and gain in this wise?
19469Cain''t you talk?
19469Can such a feeble child as this Do aught for thee, O King?
19469Canst thou not feel My warm blood o''er thy heart congeal?
19469Clever?
19469Come and fetch me, wo n''t yer, Jesus?
19469Deep distress and hesitation Mingled with his adoration; Should he go, or should he stay?
19469Did they save us?
19469Did they thus affront their Lord?
19469Did you tackle the trouble that came your way With a resolute heart and cheerful?
19469Do n''t you have no fear; Heaven was made fur such as you is-- Joe, wot makes you look so queer?
19469Do n''t you know, come Thu''sday night, She gwine ma''y Lucius White?
19469Do n''t you take no int''rest?
19469Do not let the seeker Bow before his God alone; Why should not your brother share The strength of"two or three"in prayer?
19469Do not let the singer Wait deserved praises long; Why should one that thrills your heart Lack that joy it may impart?
19469Do you cut out the weeds as you ought to do?
19469Do you hoe it fair?
19469Do you hoe it square?
19469Do you hoe it the best that you know?
19469Do you murmur a prayer, my brothers, when cozy and safe in bed, For men like these, who are ready to die for a wreck off Mumbles Head?
19469Do you plant what is beautiful there?
19469Do you whistle and sing as you toil along?
19469Dost thou know who made thee, Gave thee life, and made thee feed By the stream and o''er the mead?
19469Dost thou know who made thee?
19469Dost thou not know that what is best In this too restless world is rest From overwork and worry?
19469Fear ye foes who kill for hire?
19469Flowers in heaven?
19469Flowers, Joe-- I know''d you''d like''em-- Ai n''t them scrumptious?
19469Foley._ The Gray Swan"Oh tell me, sailor, tell me true, Is my little lad, my Elihu, A- sailing with your ship?"
19469For the harvest, you know, Will be just what you sow; Are you working it on the square?
19469For what are all our contrivings, And the wisdom of our books, When compared with your caresses, And the gladness of your looks?
19469Gave thee clothing of delight,-- Softest clothing, woolly, bright?
19469Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice?
19469Had he sent His angel down?
19469Had then God heard her?
19469He called aloud:"Say, father, say If yet my task is done?"
19469He looked up at the blue sky above Then at the men near by; Had_ they_ no little boys at home, That they could let him die?
19469He said with trembling lip,--"What little lad?
19469He''s thirsty, too-- see him nod his head?
19469His bright blue eyes glanced fearless round, His step was firm and light; What was it underneath his plaid His little hands grasped tight?
19469His sleepless vision dim?
19469Hope ye mercy still?
19469How can I look-- his father-- on that which there mangled lies?
19469How could I know it was Thee?"
19469How could angels bear the sight?
19469How''s the world a- usin''you?"
19469I wonder, has he such a lumpish, leaden, Aching thing, in place of a heart?
19469In which class are you?
19469Is he clothed in rags?
19469Is it amusing?
19469Is it because I am nobody''s child?
19469Is it perhaps some foolish freak Of thine, to put the words I speak Into a plaintive ditty?
19469Is there a way to forget to think?
19469It is n''t the fact that you''re licked that counts; It''s how did you fight-- and why?
19469Laffin''at you ai n''t no harm-- Go''way, dahky, whah''s yo''arm?
19469Likewise, there folks do n''t git hungry: So good people, w''en they dies, Finds themselves well fixed forever-- Joe my boy, wot ails yer eyes?
19469List, what do they say?
19469Little lamb, who made thee?
19469Lost?
19469May I eat dirt if thou hast hurt of me in deed or breath; What dam of lances brought thee forth to jest at the dawn with Death?"
19469May we build a nest on your lovely Hat?
19469Morning papers?"
19469Must He dwell with brutal creatures?
19469My home?
19469Never see the country, did you?
19469No failure you have need to fear, Except to fail to do your best-- What have you done, what can you do?
19469Not one was left for the old lady''s food Of those potatoes; And she sighed and said,"What shall I do?
19469Now, sence I''ve told you my story, do you wonder I''m tired of life?
19469Oh, my God, can Joe be dead?
19469Oh, the paupers are meek and lowly With their"Thank''ee kindly, mum''s"; So long as they fill their stomachs, What matter whence it comes?
19469Oh, what is so fierce as the flame of it?
19469One day I was pickin''currants down by the old quince tree, When I heerd Jake''s voice a- sayin'',"Be ye willin''ter marry me?"
19469Or are you a leaner, who lets others share Your portion of labor, and worry and care?
19469Or hide year face from the light of day With a craven soul and fearful?
19469Or think it strange I often wish I warn''t an inventor''s wife?
19469Papers, mister?
19469Prithee hasten, Uncle Jared, what''s the bullet in my breast To that murderous storm of fire raining tortures on the rest?
19469Rags is but a cotton roll Jest for wrappin''up a soul; An''a soul is worth a true Hale and hearty"How d''ye do?"
19469Said the King to his daughters three;"For I to Vanity Fair am boun, Now say what shall they be?"
19469Say"Hullo"and"How d''ye do?
19469Say, are you killing the weeds, my boy?
19469Say, how are you hoeing your row?
19469Say, now, was you mad fu''true W''en I kin''o''laughed at you?
19469See you not the Weaver leaving Finished work behind, in weaving?
19469Shall I tell you where and when?
19469Shall we always be youthful and laughing and gay, Till the last dear companion drops smiling away?
19469Shall we even curse the madness Which for"ends of State"Dooms us to the long, long sadness Of this human hate?
19469She lisped out,"Who is me?
19469Should a brother workman dear Falter for a word of cheer?
19469Should he leave the poor to wait Hungry at the convent gate, Till the vision passed away?
19469Should he slight his radiant guest, Slight this visitant celestial For a crowd of ragged, bestial Beggars at the convent gate?
19469Should it be A dashing damsel, gay and pert, A pattern of inconstancy; Or selfish, mercenary flirt?
19469Should we help where now we hinder, Should we pity where we blame?
19469Smellin''of''em''s made you happy?
19469So why mark me at twenty- nine, And him at sixty- three?
19469Somebody''s hand hath rested there-- Was it a mother''s, soft and white?
19469Sometimes maybe Ma comes to the stairs And hollers up,"Boys, have you said your prayers?"
19469Struck with palsy, sere and old, Waiting at the gates of gold, Spake he with his dying breath:"Life is done, but what is death?"
19469Such spreading of rootlets far and wide, Such whispering to and fro; And,"Are you ready?"
19469Tan''t I wite a letter too?"
19469Tears, my boy?
19469That fellow''s the"Speaker"--the one on the right;"Mr. Mayor,"my young one, how are you to- night?
19469That flowered patch?
19469The Colonel''s son a pistol drew and held it muzzle- end,"Ye have taken the one from a foe,"said he;"will ye take the mate from a friend?"
19469The Fortunate Isles You sail and you seek for the Fortunate Isles, The old Greek Isles of the yellow bird''s song?
19469The bards crown the heroes and children rehearse The songs that give heroes to story, And what say the bards to the children?
19469The guardians gazed in horror, The master''s face went white:"Did a pauper refuse their pudding?"
19469The sailor''s eyes were dim with dew,--"Your little lad, your Elihu?"
19469The same fond mother bent at night O''er each fair sleeping brow; She had each folded flower in sight-- Where are those dreamers now?
19469The soldier bent his head, Then, glancing round, with smiling lips,"You''ll join with me?"
19469The sturdy trooper straight repeated,"When all the village cheers us on, That you, in tears, apart are seated?
19469The voice, the glance, the heart I sought-- give answer, where are they?
19469The world''s monument stands the Potomac beside, And what says the shaft to the river?
19469Then it''s Tommy this, an''Tommy that, an''"Tommy,''ow''s yer soul?"
19469Then sweetly rose the singer''s voice Amid unwonted calm:"Am I a soldier of the Cross, A follower of the Lamb?
19469Then the clothesline, can she get it?
19469Then the cry fell to a moan, Which was changed a moment later to another frenzied tone:"Black yer boots, sir?
19469Then up and spoke the Colonel''s son that led a troop of the Guides:"Is there never a man of all my men can say where Kamal hides?"
19469Then we stopt; the sun wuz shinin''; I ran back along the ridge An''I found her-- dead?
19469There''s Tom, an''Tibby, An''Dad, an''Mam, an''Mam''s cat, None on''em earning money-- What do you think of that?
19469Think ye I have made this ball A field of havoc and war, Where tyrants great and tyrants small Might harry the weak and poor?
19469Think ye my noble father''s glaive Would drink the life- blood of a slave?
19469Think ye the Eternal Ear is deaf?
19469Think ye the soul''s blood may not cry from that far land to Him?
19469Those plaids?
19469Too sleepy for sayin''de prayer tonight?
19469Tut, man, what would you have?"
19469Up from the ground he sprang and gazed, but who could paint that gaze?
19469Useless?
19469Was it fancy that brought it to me?
19469Was it snowing I spoke of?
19469Was n''t you a awful sight, Havin''me to baig you so?
19469Was there a God in the skies?
19469Was there nothing but a manger Cursed sinners could afford To receive the heavenly stranger?
19469We''ll leave it here?
19469Well, well, what''s that?
19469Wha''d you come hyeah fu''to- night?
19469What am I then?
19469What are a couple of women?

19469What doth the poor man''s son inherit?
19469What good is''rithmetic an''things, exceptin''jest for girls, Er them there Fauntleroys''at wears their hair in pretty curls?
19469What hand is that, whose icy press Clings to the dead with death''s own grasp, But meets no answering caress?
19469What little lad, do you say?
19469What means that cry?
19469What secret trouble stirs thy breast?

19469What''s the mercy despots feel?
19469What''s this?"
19469When in the world did the coxswain shirk?
19469Whence came I here, and how?
19469Whence came they?
19469Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers, that lately sprang and stood In brighter light and softer airs, a beauteous sisterhood?
19469Where is my boy, my darling?
19469Where is my wife, you traitors-- The poor old wife you slew?
19469Where shall I send, and to whom shall I go For more potatoes?"
19469Who Stole the Bird''s Nest?
19469Who am I, that from the center Of Thy glory Thou shouldst enter This poor cell, my guest to be?
19469Who says we are more?
19469Who stole four eggs I laid, And the nice nest I made?"
19469Who stole four eggs I laid, And the nice nest I made?"
19469Who stole four eggs I laid, And the nice nest I made?"
19469Who told me to do my duty?
19469Why all this fret and flurry?
19469Why is it, I wonder, I''m nobody''s child?
19469Why not reform?
19469Why, do n''t you know?
19469Will land or gold redeem my son?
19469Will no one dare For her sweet sake the flaming stair?"
19469Will ye give it up to slaves?
19469Will ye look for greener graves?
19469Will ye to your homes retire?
19469Will you listen to me?
19469Will you listen to me?
19469Will you listen to me?
19469Wilt thou not pause and cease to pour Thy hurrying, headlong waters o''er This rocky shelf forever?
19469With burning star and flaming band It kindles all the sunset land: O tell us what its name may be,-- Is this the Flower of Liberty?
19469With the minuet in fashion, Who could fly into a passion?
19469Without thee what were life?
19469Witing letters, is''ou, mamma?
19469Wot''s them fur, Joey?
19469Would the vision come again?
19469Would the vision there remain?
19469Wrung she then the linen cleanly, bandaged up the wound again Ere the still eyes opened slowly; white lips murmuring,"Am I sane?"
19469Yes, we''re boys-- always playing with tongue or with pen; And I sometimes have asked, Shall we ever be men?
19469You are beaten to earth?
19469You hear that boy laughing?
19469You''eathen, where the mischief''ave you been?
