30272 | But I thought only real things could make real things,the little one said;"where does the imitation horse end and the real sound begin?" |
30272 | But if it gives one happiness too? |

30272 | But suppose all the rich folk died, what would the poor folk do? |
30272 | But what is he called? |
30272 | But where did he come from? |
30272 | But where is your garland? |
30272 | But where will my throne be? |
30272 | But why have you done it so long? |
30272 | But you will do things well? |
30272 | Did you ever eat your porridge when it was quite cold and very nasty? |
30272 | Do you like butter? |
30272 | How far have you to go? |
30272 | If I do it badly, will it make them unhappy? |
30272 | Is she unhappy, that you are taking so much trouble for her? |
30272 | Let us write a book,they said;"but what shall it be about?" |
30272 | Perhaps you are not proud? |
30272 | Shall we go to the woods? |
30272 | Then why did he want spurs? |
30272 | Tommy, are you tired? |
30272 | Well, what is it always smiling for? |
30272 | What have you to do? |
30272 | What would you do if I wore boots? |
30272 | Where is he going? |
30272 | Where is your broom? 30272 Who set it up?" |
30272 | Why are they going away? |
30272 | Why did you talk to him? |
30272 | Why do n''t the servants take it? |
30272 | Why do we not help too? |
30272 | Why has n''t it got a heart? |
30272 | Why? |
30272 | Will it be of any good? |
30272 | Will you really touch it? |
30272 | Would n''t you like to be rich? |
30272 | You dear children,thought the white cat,"why do you come to play here at all? |
30272 | A voice that seemed to come from nowhere asked--"Are you ready, Willie?" |
30272 | And are the frogs a- wooing? |
30272 | And what shall we give you for tea? |
30272 | And why do n''t they come to see me marry? |
30272 | But 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? |
30272 | Dear swallows, have you brought us a message?" |
30272 | For father''s heart seems always near, And who can tell but he may hear, Or know the words we say? |
30272 | He clasped the goat yet a little closer, and called out,"Apple- blossom, I am waiting; are you here?" |
30272 | Now what shall we talk of, my own dollies fair? |
30272 | She will start up and listen, wondering how long she has been sleeping, and then she will call out--"Oh, my darlings, is it you?" |
30272 | That queer little thing with the short frizzy hair, Why does he keep looking at me? |
30272 | The way to what, and where?" |
30272 | Then she asked,"Did you ever eat your porridge too hot and burn your tongue?" |

16686 | How can you give people treats who can order what they wish for far better than you? |
16686 | How long will it be, Papa Poodle, before you have learned to read? |
16686 | How many years ago, love, Since you came courting me? |
16686 | How many years ago, love, Since you to Father spoke? |
16686 | I came away, though loth to come, I clung, and yet why should I cling? |
16686 | I dare not give myself away; For what would Mother do? |
16686 | I do hate convalescence, do n''t you?" |
16686 | I ran to the window and said,"What is it, dear Fritz?" |
16686 | I said,"Are you a sea- captain?" |
16686 | I said,"But_ would n''t_ you rather be in battles than in bed, with your head aching as if it would split?" |
16686 | I said,"ca n''t I come too?" |
16686 | I wonder, if I let you off lessons, whether I could teach you to pull the string with your teeth, and fire our new gun? |

16686 | She 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? |
16686 | Should I dare, or dread to dare? |
16686 | Should I speak, or silent be? |
16686 | Should I wonder to hear it? |
16686 | So I asked him,"Have you got convalescence? |

18909 | Ai n''t goin''to see the celebration? |
18909 | And is mine one? |
18909 | And so you saw them-- when? 18909 And where are they? |
18909 | Are you not tired with rolling and never Resting to sleep? 18909 Backward?" |
18909 | Birds can fly, An''why ca n''t I? 18909 But 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? |
18909 | 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 forego it? 18909 But 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? |
18909 | But why do I talk of Death,-- That phantom of grisly bone? 18909 Could we send him a short message? |
18909 | Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling Your ring? |
18909 | Do you know the Blue- Grass country? |
18909 | Has some saint gone up to heaven? |
18909 | How many are you, then,said I,"If they two are in heaven?" |
18909 | How many? 18909 If seven maids with seven mops Swept it for half a year, Do you suppose,"the Walrus said,"That they could get it clear?" |
18909 | Lady Moon, Lady Moon, where are you roving? |

18909 | Sisters and brothers, little Maid, How many may you be? |
18909 | Some whisky, rum or gin? |
18909 | The night is fine,the Walrus said,"Do you admire the view? |
18909 | Well, well,said he,"explain to me and I''ve no more to say; Can you go anywhere to- morrow and come back from there to- day?" |
18909 | What does it want? |
18909 | What 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? |
18909 | What''s that? |

18909 | A 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? |
18909 | A funeral? |
18909 | Ai n''t I always been a pardner to you? |
18909 | Ai n''t I always been your friend? |
18909 | Ai n''t he a funny old Raggedy Man? |

18909 | Ai n''t nu''h''n but_ rocks_? |
18909 | Ai n''t you satisfied at all? |
18909 | All my pennies do n''t I spend In getting nice things for you? |

18909 | Am I lazy or crazy? |
18909 | An''that t''other thing? |

18909 | And 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? |
18909 | And mother-- does she fade at all? |
18909 | And now she watches the pathway, As yester eve she had done; But what does she see so strange and black Against the rising sun? |
18909 | And oft the young lads shouted, when they saw the maid at play:"Ho, good- for- nothing Brier- Rose, how do you do to- day?" |
18909 | And shall this man dictate to us? |
18909 | And 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? |
18909 | And 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?" |
18909 | And the brown thrush keeps singing,"A nest do you see, And five eggs hid by me in the juniper tree? |
18909 | And what does he say, little girl, little boy? |
18909 | And what is so rare as a day in June? |
18909 | And what meaneth that stifled murmur of wonder and amaze? |
18909 | And what shall_ I_ say, if a wretch should propose? |
18909 | And when they were alone, the angel said,"Art thou the king?" |
18909 | And whom bury ye today? |
18909 | And would n''t it be nicer For you to smile than pout, And so make sunshine in the house When there is none without? |
18909 | And would n''t it be nobler To keep your temper sweet, And in your heart be thankful You can walk upon your feet? |
18909 | And 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"? |
18909 | And would n''t it be wiser Than waiting like a dunce, To go to work in earnest And learn the thing at once? |
18909 | And your age?" |
18909 | Any memory of his sermon? |
18909 | Are n''t we picking up folks just as fast as they fall? |
18909 | Art thou a mourner? |
18909 | Art thou afraid?" |
18909 | Away with a bellow fled the calf, And what was that? |
18909 | Aye? |
18909 | Bearing his load on the rough road of life? |
18909 | Before her stood fair Bregenz, once more her towers arose; What were the friends beside her? |

18909 | Did it hurt werry bad w''en you died, Little cat? |
18909 | Did the gosling laugh? |
18909 | Did 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? |
18909 | Do n''t I give you lots of cake? |
18909 | Do n''t ye see I have her with me-- my poor sainted little Belle?'' |
18909 | Do n''t you hear? |
18909 | Do you not know me? |
18909 | Do you see her little hand beckoning? |
18909 | Do you see o''er the gilded cloud mountains Sister''s golden hair streaming out? |
18909 | Do you think that Katie guessed Half the wisdom she expressed? |
18909 | Do you think, sir, if you try, You can paint the look of a lie? |
18909 | Does half my heart lie buried there In Texas, down by the Rio Grande? |
18909 | Does he see the ruddy wine Shiver in its crystal goblet, or do those grave eyes divine Something sadder yet? |
18909 | Does he see the waxen bloom Tremble in its vase of silver? |

18909 | Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold, And to the Presence in the room he said,"What writest thou?" |
18909 | Firstly? |
18909 | For angels have golden tresses And eyes like sister''s, blue? |
18909 | Have I been here long? |
18909 | Have the loving voice and the Helping Hand brought back my wandering son? |
18909 | He asks me questions sooch as dese: Who baints mine nose so red? |
18909 | Here hath been dawning another blue day: Think, wilt thou let it slip useless away? |
18909 | His brothers had walked but a little way When Jotham to Nathan chanced to say,"What on airth is he up to, hey?" |
18909 | Ho, ho, pale brother,"said the Wine,"Can you boast of deeds as great as mine?" |
18909 | How answer his brute question in that hour When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the world? |
18909 | How gan I all dese dings eggsblain To dot schmall Yawcob Strauss? |

18909 | How many seconds in a minute? |
18909 | How many weeks in a month? |
18909 | How many years in an age? |
18909 | I 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? |
18909 | I do''want no foolin''--you hear me? |
18909 | I staggered faintly in, Fearing--_what_? |
18909 | I''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?'' |
18909 | If a storm should come and awake the deep What matter? |
18909 | If by easy work you beat, Who the more will prize you? |
18909 | If 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? |
18909 | In the laugh that rings so gayly through the richly curtained room, Join they all, save one; Why is it? |
18909 | Is his heaven far to seek for those who drown?" |
18909 | Is it possible? |
18909 | Is it worth while that we battle to humble Some poor fellow down into the dust? |
18909 | Is it worth while that we jeer at each other In blackness of heart that we war to the knife? |
18909 | Is n''t it true? |
18909 | Is the pudding done? |
18909 | Is this a hoax? |
18909 | Is this the dream He dreamed who shaped the suns And pillared the blue firmament with light? |
18909 | Is you boun''fuh ter be a black villiun? |

18909 | Maggie, sister''s an angel, Is n''t she? |
18909 | May I carry, if I will, All your burdens up the hill?" |
18909 | Men who had fought ten to one ere that day? |
18909 | Morgan-- Morgan is waiting for me; Oh, what will Morgan say?" |
18909 | Must we give in,"Says he with a grin,"''T the bluebird an''phoebe Are smarter''n we be? |
18909 | My labor never flags; And what are its wages? |
18909 | No? |
18909 | Not Sunday? |
18909 | Now ai n''t you ashamed er yo''se''lf sur? |
18909 | Now if from here to Morrow is a fourteen- hour jump, Can you go to- day to Morrow and come back to- day, you chump?" |
18909 | Now the smiles are thicker-- wonder what they mean? |
18909 | Now, 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? |
18909 | Now, tell me, Are you guilty of this, or no?" |
18909 | Now_ 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? |
18909 | O masters, lords and rulers in all lands, How will the Future reckon with this man? |
18909 | O masters, lords and rulers in all lands, Is this the handiwork you give to God, This monstrous thing distorted and soul- quenched? |
18909 | Oh, let us be married,--too long we have tarried,-- But what shall we do for a ring?" |
18909 | Oh, w''y did n''t yo wun off and hide, Little cat? |
18909 | Oh, when its aged branches throw Thin shadows on the ground below, Shall fraud and force and iron will Oppress the weak and helpless still? |
18909 | Or does she seem to pine and fret For me? |
18909 | Remember 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? |
18909 | Rouse thee from thy spell; Art thou a sinner? |
18909 | Said 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?" |
18909 | Said I,"I want to go to Morrow; can I go to- day And get to Morrow by to- night, if there is no delay?" |
18909 | Said I,"My boy, it seems to me you''re talking through your hat, Is there a town named Morrow on your line? |
18909 | Say, stummick, what''s the matter, You had to go an''ache? |
18909 | Say, what''s the matter with you? |
18909 | Secondly? |
18909 | Seek''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? |
18909 | Shall I tell you where and when? |
18909 | Shall he? |
18909 | Shall not the roaring waters their headlong gallop check? |
18909 | Shall she let it ring? |
18909 | Shall we be trotting home again?" |
18909 | Should it be A dashing damsel, gay and pert, A pattern of inconstancy; Or selfish, mercenary flirt? |
18909 | Slave of the wheel of labor, what to him Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades? |
18909 | So shalt thou rest, and what if thou withdraw In silence from the living, and no friend Take note of thy departure? |
18909 | So she resolutely walked up to the wagon old and red--"May I have a dozen apples for a kiss?" |
18909 | Suppose 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"? |
18909 | Suppose you''re dressed for walking, And the rain comes pouring down, Will it clear off any sooner Because you scold and frown? |
18909 | Suppose your task, my little man, Is very hard to get, Will it make it any easier For you to sit and fret? |
18909 | Suppose, my dear, I take my knife, And cut the rope to save my life?" |
18909 | THEN DID HE BLENCH? |
18909 | Tell me dat, Did dey holler at all when you cwied? |
18909 | Tell me, darling, will you be The wife of Bobby Shaftoe?" |
18909 | That old familiar tree, Whose glory and renown Are spread o''er land and sea-- And wouldst thou hew it down? |
18909 | The Baby Where did you come from, baby dear? |
18909 | The Pilgrims came to Plymouth Rock In fourteen ninety- two, An''the Indians standin''on the dock Asked,"What are you goin''to do?" |
18909 | The Tree bore his blossoms, and all the birds sung:"Shall I take them away?" |
18909 | The Tree bore his fruit in the midsummer glow: Said the child,"May I gather thy berries now?" |
18909 | The 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?" |
18909 | The church, a phantom, vanished soon; What saw the teacher then? |
18909 | The old man-- is he hearty yet? |
18909 | The weather was bitter cold, The young ones cried and shivered--( Little Johnny''s but four years old)-- So what was I to do, sir? |
18909 | Then I felt myself pulled once again, and my hand caught tight hold of a dress, And I heard,"What''s the matter, dear Jim? |
18909 | Then said,"Who art thou, and why com''st thou here?" |
18909 | Then why should I sit in the scorner''s seat, Or hurl the cynic''s ban? |
18909 | There were men with hoary hair Amidst that pilgrim band: Why had they come to wither there Away from their childhood''s land? |
18909 | There, do n''t hold my hands, Maggie, I do n''t feel like tearing it now; But-- where was I in my story? |
18909 | They scrape away a little snow; What''s this? |
18909 | Tom was only a moderate drinker; ah, sir, do you bear in mind How the plodding tortoise in the race left the leaping hare behind? |
18909 | Und vhere der plaze goes vrom der lamp Vene''er der glim I douse? |
18909 | Up spoke our own little Mabel, Saying,"Father, who makes it snow?" |
18909 | W''y is dat? |
18909 | Waking 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? |
18909 | Was that thunder? |
18909 | Was there a man dismay''d? |
18909 | Was there a soldier who carried the Seven Flinched like a coward or fled from the strife? |
18909 | We shall be so kind in the after while, But what have we been to- day? |
18909 | We shall bring to each lonely life a smile, But what have we brought to- day? |
18909 | We shall give out gold in princely sum, But what did we give to- day? |
18909 | What ails you, Hal? |
18909 | What does little baby say In her bed at peep of day? |
18909 | What fields, or waves, or mountains? |
18909 | What is the use of heapin''on me a pauper''s shame? |
18909 | What love of thine own kind? |
18909 | What means this great commotion? |
18909 | What means this stir in Rome? |
18909 | What objects are the fountains Of thy happy strain? |
18909 | What plant we in this apple- tree? |
18909 | What plant we in this apple- tree? |
18909 | What plant we in this apple- tree? |
18909 | What recked he? |
18909 | What recked those who followed? |
18909 | What 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? |
18909 | What shapes of sky or plain? |
18909 | What sought they thus afar? |
18909 | What the long reaches of the peaks of song, The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose? |
18909 | What thou art we know not; What is most like thee? |
18909 | What was done? |
18909 | What whistle''s that, yelling so shrill? |
18909 | What''s he got on? |
18909 | What? |
18909 | When can their glory fade? |
18909 | When pain and sickness made me cry, Who gazed upon my heavy eye, And wept, for fear that I should die? |
18909 | When sleep forsook my open eye, Who was it sung sweet lullaby And rocked me that I should not cry? |
18909 | When the sun goes down with a flaming ray And the dear friends have to part? |
18909 | When you were home, old comrade, say, Did you see any of our folks? |
18909 | Where breathes the foe but falls before us, With Freedom''s soil beneath our feet, And Freedom''s banner streaming o''er us? |
18909 | Where now the solemn shade, Verdure and gloom where many branches meet; So grateful, when the noon of summer made The valleys sick with heat? |
18909 | Where should I fly to, Where go to sleep in the dark wood or dell? |
18909 | Who fathoms the Eternal Thought? |

18909 | Why look so pale and so sad, as for ever Wishing to weep?" |
18909 | Why should people of sense stop to put up a fence, While the ambulance works in the valley?" |
18909 | Why, sir, you''re crying as hard as I; what-- is it really done? |
18909 | Why, what''s the mattter, friend? |
18909 | Will 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? |
18909 | Will he fall? |

18909 | so mournful? |
18909 | the teacher said, Filled with a new surprise;"Shall I behold his name enrolled Among the great and wise?" |
18909 | was there ever so merry a note? |
18909 | what ignorance of pain? |
18909 | what to do? |
18909 | when shall they all meet again?" |
18909 | who ever yeered tell er des sich? |
18909 | why so soon Depart the hues that make thy forests glad; Thy gentle wind and thy fair sunny noon, And leave thee wild and sad? |
18909 | wot_ do_ they understand? |

19469 | And did she stand With her anchor clutching hold of the sand, For a month, and never stir? |
19469 | And did the little lawless lad That has made you sick and made you sad, Sail with the_ Gray Swan''s_ crew? |
19469 | And he has never written line, Nor sent you word, nor made you sign To say he was alive? |
19469 | And how is this, my little chit? |
19469 | And how is this? |
19469 | And is there nothing yet unsaid Before the change appears? 19469 And so your lad is gone?" |
19469 | And where''s your home? |
19469 | And who are_ you_? |
19469 | But 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? |
19469 | But is there nothing in thy track To bid thee fondly stay, While the swift seasons hurry back To find the wished- for day? |
19469 | But 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? |
19469 | Could their ears believe aright? |
19469 | Dear 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? |
19469 | I 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? |
19469 | Is it''cause my aunty grieved you? |
19469 | Is there no hope, no chance of life? |
19469 | It is very cruel, too,Said little Alice Neal;"I wonder if he knew How sad the bird would feel?" |
19469 | John Maynard, can you still hold out? |
19469 | Missus,says I,"if you please, mum, Could I ax you for a rose? |
19469 | Now, who would cross the Ohio, This dark and stormy water? |
19469 | Now,said the deacon,"shall we pray?" |
19469 | Oh, 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? |
19469 | Our 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? |
19469 | Sprinkled or plunged-- may I ask you, friend, How you attained to life''s great end? |
19469 | The other day? |
19469 | Then we dot up, and payed dust as well as we tould, And Dod answered our payers; now was n''t he dood? |
19469 | Then,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?" |
19469 | Two? |
19469 | Wal-- no-- I come dasignin''--"To see my Ma? |
19469 | Well, why tant we pray dest as mamma did then, And ask Him to send him with presents aden? |
19469 | 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? 19469 What strength or power,"the statesman cried,"Could such a judgement bring? |
19469 | What? 19469 Where is the Earl of Holderness?" |
19469 | Which shall it be? 19469 Whom should I marry? |
19469 | Yer 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?" |
19469 | 101 Who comes dancing over the snow 153 Who dat knockin''at de do''? |
19469 | 174 Han''some, stranger? |
19469 | 92 What flower is this that greets the morn 85 What makes the dog''s nose always cold? |
19469 | Aftah all de pains I''s took, Cain''t you tell me how I look? |
19469 | After the journey is over What is the use of them; how Can they carry them who must be carried? |
19469 | Ai n''t them high? |
19469 | An''leave the foe to welter where their blood had made a pool; But how can I git famous? |
19469 | And after him, with his MSS., Came Wesley, the pattern of godliness, But he cried,"Dear me, what shall I do? |
19469 | And did he marry her, you ask? |
19469 | And didst thou visit him no more? |
19469 | And have the lips of a sister fair Been baptized in their waves of light? |
19469 | And hop''st thou hence unscathed to go? |
19469 | And shall I fear to own His cause?" |
19469 | And sin no more; can I believe her? |
19469 | And so anxiously he asked her,"Is there really such a place?" |
19469 | And though you be done to the death, what then? |
19469 | And what are the names of the Fortunate Isles? |
19469 | And what is so huge as the aim of it? |
19469 | And who will cheer my bonny bride, If yet they shall arrest me?" |
19469 | And would you, who hear this simple tale, Pray for the poor, and praying,"prevail"? |
19469 | Apples? |
19469 | Are You Here? |
19469 | Are You Here? |
19469 | Are n''t we, Roger? |
19469 | Are the ninety and nine, All so safe and so fine, Not enough for the shepherd to keep?" |
19469 | Are you cutting out all that is mean? |
19469 | Are you easing the load Of overtaxed lifters, who toil down the road? |
19469 | Are you finding your work a delight? |
19469 | Are you going straight At a hustling gait? |
19469 | Are you hoeing your row neat and clean? |
19469 | Better? |
19469 | Black yer boots, sir? |
19469 | Brininstool._ Which Shall It Be? |
19469 | But his little daughter whispered, As she took his icy hand,"Is n''t God upon the ocean, Just the same as on the land?" |
19469 | But there came to the Crumpetty Tree Mr. and Mrs. Canary; And they said,"Did ever you see Any spot so charmingly airy? |
19469 | But where is he, that helmsman bold? |
19469 | But who shall dare To measure loss and gain in this wise? |
19469 | Cain''t you talk? |
19469 | Can such a feeble child as this Do aught for thee, O King? |
19469 | Canst thou not feel My warm blood o''er thy heart congeal? |
19469 | Clever? |
19469 | Come and fetch me, wo n''t yer, Jesus? |
19469 | Deep distress and hesitation Mingled with his adoration; Should he go, or should he stay? |
19469 | Did they save us? |
19469 | Did they thus affront their Lord? |
19469 | Did you tackle the trouble that came your way With a resolute heart and cheerful? |
19469 | Do n''t you have no fear; Heaven was made fur such as you is-- Joe, wot makes you look so queer? |
19469 | Do n''t you know, come Thu''sday night, She gwine ma''y Lucius White? |
19469 | Do n''t you take no int''rest? |
19469 | Do not let the seeker Bow before his God alone; Why should not your brother share The strength of"two or three"in prayer? |
19469 | Do not let the singer Wait deserved praises long; Why should one that thrills your heart Lack that joy it may impart? |
19469 | Do you cut out the weeds as you ought to do? |
19469 | Do you hoe it fair? |
19469 | Do you hoe it square? |
19469 | Do you hoe it the best that you know? |
19469 | Do 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? |
19469 | Do you plant what is beautiful there? |
19469 | Do you whistle and sing as you toil along? |
19469 | Dost thou know who made thee, Gave thee life, and made thee feed By the stream and o''er the mead? |
19469 | Dost thou know who made thee? |
19469 | Dost thou not know that what is best In this too restless world is rest From overwork and worry? |
19469 | Fear ye foes who kill for hire? |
19469 | Flowers in heaven? |
19469 | Flowers, Joe-- I know''d you''d like''em-- Ai n''t them scrumptious? |
19469 | Foley._ The Gray Swan"Oh tell me, sailor, tell me true, Is my little lad, my Elihu, A- sailing with your ship?" |
19469 | For the harvest, you know, Will be just what you sow; Are you working it on the square? |
19469 | For what are all our contrivings, And the wisdom of our books, When compared with your caresses, And the gladness of your looks? |
19469 | Gave thee clothing of delight,-- Softest clothing, woolly, bright? |
19469 | Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice? |
19469 | Had he sent His angel down? |
19469 | Had then God heard her? |
19469 | He called aloud:"Say, father, say If yet my task is done?" |
19469 | He 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? |
19469 | He said with trembling lip,--"What little lad? |
19469 | He''s thirsty, too-- see him nod his head? |
19469 | His bright blue eyes glanced fearless round, His step was firm and light; What was it underneath his plaid His little hands grasped tight? |
19469 | His sleepless vision dim? |
19469 | Hope ye mercy still? |
19469 | How can I look-- his father-- on that which there mangled lies? |
19469 | How could I know it was Thee?" |
19469 | How could angels bear the sight? |
19469 | How''s the world a- usin''you?" |
19469 | I wonder, has he such a lumpish, leaden, Aching thing, in place of a heart? |
19469 | In which class are you? |
19469 | Is he clothed in rags? |
19469 | Is it amusing? |
19469 | Is it because I am nobody''s child? |
19469 | Is it perhaps some foolish freak Of thine, to put the words I speak Into a plaintive ditty? |
19469 | Is there a way to forget to think? |
19469 | It is n''t the fact that you''re licked that counts; It''s how did you fight-- and why? |
19469 | Laffin''at you ai n''t no harm-- Go''way, dahky, whah''s yo''arm? |
19469 | Likewise, 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? |
19469 | List, what do they say? |
19469 | Little lamb, who made thee? |
19469 | Lost? |
19469 | May 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?" |
19469 | May we build a nest on your lovely Hat? |
19469 | Morning papers?" |
19469 | Must He dwell with brutal creatures? |
19469 | My home? |
19469 | Never see the country, did you? |
19469 | No failure you have need to fear, Except to fail to do your best-- What have you done, what can you do? |
19469 | Not one was left for the old lady''s food Of those potatoes; And she sighed and said,"What shall I do? |
19469 | Now, sence I''ve told you my story, do you wonder I''m tired of life? |
19469 | Oh, my God, can Joe be dead? |
19469 | Oh, 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? |
19469 | Oh, what is so fierce as the flame of it? |
19469 | One 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?" |
19469 | Or are you a leaner, who lets others share Your portion of labor, and worry and care? |
19469 | Or hide year face from the light of day With a craven soul and fearful? |
19469 | Or think it strange I often wish I warn''t an inventor''s wife? |
19469 | Papers, mister? |
19469 | Prithee hasten, Uncle Jared, what''s the bullet in my breast To that murderous storm of fire raining tortures on the rest? |
19469 | Rags 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?" |
19469 | Said the King to his daughters three;"For I to Vanity Fair am boun, Now say what shall they be?" |
19469 | Say"Hullo"and"How d''ye do? |
19469 | Say, are you killing the weeds, my boy? |
19469 | Say, how are you hoeing your row? |
19469 | Say, now, was you mad fu''true W''en I kin''o''laughed at you? |
19469 | See you not the Weaver leaving Finished work behind, in weaving? |
19469 | Shall I tell you where and when? |
19469 | Shall we always be youthful and laughing and gay, Till the last dear companion drops smiling away? |
19469 | Shall we even curse the madness Which for"ends of State"Dooms us to the long, long sadness Of this human hate? |
19469 | She lisped out,"Who is me? |
19469 | Should a brother workman dear Falter for a word of cheer? |
19469 | Should he leave the poor to wait Hungry at the convent gate, Till the vision passed away? |
19469 | Should he slight his radiant guest, Slight this visitant celestial For a crowd of ragged, bestial Beggars at the convent gate? |
19469 | Should it be A dashing damsel, gay and pert, A pattern of inconstancy; Or selfish, mercenary flirt? |
19469 | Should we help where now we hinder, Should we pity where we blame? |
19469 | Smellin''of''em''s made you happy? |
19469 | So why mark me at twenty- nine, And him at sixty- three? |
19469 | Somebody''s hand hath rested there-- Was it a mother''s, soft and white? |
19469 | Sometimes maybe Ma comes to the stairs And hollers up,"Boys, have you said your prayers?" |
19469 | Struck with palsy, sere and old, Waiting at the gates of gold, Spake he with his dying breath:"Life is done, but what is death?" |
19469 | Such spreading of rootlets far and wide, Such whispering to and fro; And,"Are you ready?" |
19469 | Tan''t I wite a letter too?" |
19469 | Tears, my boy? |
19469 | That fellow''s the"Speaker"--the one on the right;"Mr. Mayor,"my young one, how are you to- night? |
19469 | That flowered patch? |
19469 | The 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?" |
19469 | The Fortunate Isles You sail and you seek for the Fortunate Isles, The old Greek Isles of the yellow bird''s song? |
19469 | The bards crown the heroes and children rehearse The songs that give heroes to story, And what say the bards to the children? |
19469 | The guardians gazed in horror, The master''s face went white:"Did a pauper refuse their pudding?" |
19469 | The sailor''s eyes were dim with dew,--"Your little lad, your Elihu?" |
19469 | The same fond mother bent at night O''er each fair sleeping brow; She had each folded flower in sight-- Where are those dreamers now? |
19469 | The soldier bent his head, Then, glancing round, with smiling lips,"You''ll join with me?" |
19469 | The sturdy trooper straight repeated,"When all the village cheers us on, That you, in tears, apart are seated? |
19469 | The voice, the glance, the heart I sought-- give answer, where are they? |
19469 | The world''s monument stands the Potomac beside, And what says the shaft to the river? |
19469 | Then it''s Tommy this, an''Tommy that, an''"Tommy,''ow''s yer soul?" |
19469 | Then sweetly rose the singer''s voice Amid unwonted calm:"Am I a soldier of the Cross, A follower of the Lamb? |
19469 | Then the clothesline, can she get it? |
19469 | Then the cry fell to a moan, Which was changed a moment later to another frenzied tone:"Black yer boots, sir? |
19469 | Then 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?" |
19469 | Then we stopt; the sun wuz shinin''; I ran back along the ridge An''I found her-- dead? |
19469 | There''s Tom, an''Tibby, An''Dad, an''Mam, an''Mam''s cat, None on''em earning money-- What do you think of that? |
19469 | Think ye I have made this ball A field of havoc and war, Where tyrants great and tyrants small Might harry the weak and poor? |
19469 | Think ye my noble father''s glaive Would drink the life- blood of a slave? |
19469 | Think ye the Eternal Ear is deaf? |
19469 | Think ye the soul''s blood may not cry from that far land to Him? |
19469 | Those plaids? |
19469 | Too sleepy for sayin''de prayer tonight? |
19469 | Tut, man, what would you have?" |
19469 | Up from the ground he sprang and gazed, but who could paint that gaze? |
19469 | Useless? |
19469 | Was it fancy that brought it to me? |
19469 | Was it snowing I spoke of? |
19469 | Was n''t you a awful sight, Havin''me to baig you so? |
19469 | Was there a God in the skies? |
19469 | Was there nothing but a manger Cursed sinners could afford To receive the heavenly stranger? |
