... But our rest is as far as the fire-drake swings ...
The Ballad of the Anti-Puritan
... Prince, Bayard would have smashed his sword ...
The Rolling English Road
... The wild thing went from left to right and knew not which was which, ...
A Prayer in Darkness
... Thought it beat brightly, even onCalvary: &emsp ...
For Four Guilds: IV. The Bell-Ringers
... Souls on their terraces, saints on their towers, ...
Ultimate
... Man with his own life stands alone ...
A Little Litany
... Peered through you, gate of heaven-and saw the earth ...
Elegy in a Country Churchyard
... But they that fought for England, ...
The Triumph Of Man
... My starriest hopes and wants, for very love ...
The Song of Right and Wrong
... When good drink had been dishonoured ...

For Four Guilds: III. The Stone-Masons
... Such hands as have grubbed in the glebe for bread ...
The Ballad of the White Horse
... And the beasts of the earth and the birds looked down, ...
The Human Tree
... Though thou slay us, we shall know thee ...
