- Ah love, the sweet spring blossoms cling 1
- Why am I singing all alone 2
- My sweetheart lays her hand in mine 3
- Below the rocks where the samphire blows 4
- She comes through the meadow yonder 5
- Amid a crown of radiant hills 6
- In yonder bay the waves find rest 8
- In the first light of the morning 9
- When first I saw your face, love 10
- I am wanting to send you a song, love 11
- If I were in the valley‐land 12
- The birds sang from the tree 13
- Love my heart is aching, aching 15
- Violets, sweet violets 16
- In the distant woods are blowing 17
- page: x.
- The golden gorse and the heather 18
- Why seems the world so fair 20
- Winds blow cold in the bright March weather 21
- What song shall I sing to you 23
- Out on the moor the sun is bright 25
- Little maiden are you lonely 26
- The snow queen passed our way last night 27
- How gently this evening the ripples break 28
- Cold, quite cold, I could only see 30
- The hours of the day have departed 32
- Listen and we shall hear the voice 33
- I have been wandering to‐day 34
- Give me thy hand dear friend, and let me take thee 36
- And art thou come again, Oh Night 37
- Oh, what know they of harbours, by E. R. 39
- November with mysterious feet 40
- When you are lonely, full of care 41
- The tender touch of a gentle hand 42
- We wandered in that shadow‐land 44
- The clouds have gathered soon to‐night 45
- page: xi.
- Are your grave eyes graver growing? 47
- The town is very gay to‐day 49
- The March wind rises through the skies 50
- The skies are blue 51
- I saw your portrait, yesterday 52
- Though I may rest in some leafy place 54
- There is no unawakened string 55
- Last night again we saw him there 56
- The ladies bow, and partners set 58
- A flash of colour through the trees 61
- All day I read your book; at eve 63
