POEMS: INDEX OF FIRST LINES

A Clock stopped

A little East of Jordan . . . worsted God

A Route of Evanescence

A still—Volcano—Life—

A wife—at Daybreak I shall be—

A wounded deer leaps highest

After great pain . . . the Hour of Lead

All overgrown by cunning moss . . . The little cage of ‘Currer Bell’

As One does Sickness over

Becausecould not stop for Death . . . ’tis Centuries . . . Swelling of the Ground

Before I got my eye put out

Bereaved of all, I went abroad

By such and such an offering

Dare you see a Soul at the White Heat?

Dying! Dying in the night!

Elysium is as far as to . . . What fortitude

Experiment to me

Exultation is the going

‘Faith’ is a fine invention

Finding is the first Act . . . Jason

From his slim palace in the dust

Further in Summer than the Birds

He fumbles at your Soul . . . Winds take Forests in their Paws

He touched me, so I live to know

Her breast is fit for pearls

Her sovreign People

How fleet—how indiscreet an one—

How happy is the little Stone

I am alive I guess

I cannot dance upon my toes . . . full as Opera—

I died for Beauty

I felt a Cleaving in my Mind—

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain . . . Boots of Lead

I felt my life with both my hands

I fit for them—I seek the Dark . . . A purer food

I found the words to every thought . . . Can Blaze be shown in Cochineal

I have never seen ‘Volcanoes’—. . . when upon a pain Titanic

I like a look of Agony . . . Men do not sham Convulsion

I lived on Dread—

I lost a World

I never lost as much but twice—

I often passed the village . . . Trust the loving promise

I shall not murmur if at last

I taste a liquor never brewed . . . little tippler / Leaning
