• Creep into thy narrow bed

• He lived among th'untrodden ways
• How many schemes may die

I

• I am like the king of a rainy country
• I am unjust, but I can strive for justice
• I am: yet what I am none cares or knows
• I could not dig, I dared not rob,
• I have lost, and lately, these
• I met a traveller from an antique land
• I went to the Garden of Love

• Je suis comme le roi d'un pays pluvieux
• Jenny kissed me when we met

L

• So, we'll go no more a roving
• Still to be neat, still to be dressed
• Strange deity, brown as the nights

T

• That which her slender waist confin'd
• The Devil, in my lofty room
• The lanky hank of a she in the inn over there
• The world is too much with us; late and soon
• They went forth to battle, but they always fell
• This is the sin against the Holy Ghost
• Turning and turning in the widening gyre
• Tyger! Tyger! burning bright

W

• We outgrow love like other things
• When my grave is broke up again
• When the low heavy sky weighs like a lid
• Whenas in silks my Julia goes
• Who has not found the heaven below
• Why so pale and wan fond lover
