The brook along the Romsey road 3
A portly Wood-louse, full of cares 5
When the wind blows without the garden walls 7
How late in the wet twilight doth that bird 8
Of Sorrow, ’tis as Saints have said 9
Within our garden walls you see 10
The fuchsias dangle on their stem 11
My night-dress hangs on fire-guard rail 12
While I stand upon the pavement and I dress the dusty stall 13
When by the fire-light Dulcibel 15
Whom meet we, Betsey, in the wood? 16
How few alack 17
’Tis the old wife at Rickling, she 19
Pull out my couch across the fire 21
When the Wind comes up the lane 22
What dusky branches fret the yellow sky 23
Three candles had her cake 25
The Baby slumbers through the night 26
With a full house of other folks 27
He who a mangold-patch doth hoe 30
Throw up the cinders, let the night wear through 31
When elm-buds turn from red to green 32
Vainly, my Betsey, to the weeping day 34
O the trucks that leave Southampton bring a smell of twine and tar 36
When the young Spring in Betsey’s fingers sets 38
Permit, Dear Sir, that the judicious grieve 39
’Twas bought in Bruges, the shop was poor 41
The sun sank, and the wind uprist whose note 43
My Betsey-Jane it would not do 45
In Bethlehem Town by lantern light 46
Playthings my Betsey hath, the snail’s cast shell 48
I am not lightly moved, my grief was dumb 49
You taught me ways of gracefulness and fashions of address 51
You that have fenced about my storm-swept ways 52
Pardon, Dear Sir, if with intrusive pen 53
When I was small, great joy it was to see 56
We came on Christmas Day 57
On the high frosty fields afoot at dawn 59
Now night hath fallen on the little town 60
Dear, the delightful world I see 61
So ’tis your will to have a cell 63
My Sorrow diligent would sweep 65
Here lies A. B. who, four years from her birth SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org
