INDEX OF FIRST LINES

A beggar through the world am I,
A camel-driver, angry with his drudge,
A heap of bare and splintery crags,
A hundred years! they’re quickly fled,
A legend that grew in the forest’s hush,
A lily thou wast when I saw thee first,
A poet cannot strive for despotism,
A presence both by night and day,
A race of nobles may die out,

As a twig trembles, which a bird,
As, cleansed of Tiber’s and Oblivion’s slime,
As, flake by flake, the beetling avalanches,
As life runs on, the road grows strange,
As sinks the sun behind yon alien hills,
As the broad ocean endlessly upheaveth,

B, taught by Pope to do his good by stealth,
Beauty on my hearth-stone blazing! 
Beloved, in the noisy city here,
Beneath the trees,
Bowing thyself in dust before a Book,

Can this be thou who, lean and pale,
Come back before the birds are flown,
‘Come forth!’ my catbird calls to me,
Curtis, whose Wit, with Fancy arm in arm,
