The conference-meeting through at last E. C. Stedman 619
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day

The day is cold; and dark, and dreary
The day returns, my bosom burns
The dew was falling fast, the stars began to blink

The dreamy rhymer's measured snore
The dule 's i' this bonnet o' mine
The elder folk shook hands at last
The Emperor Nap, he would set out
The face of all the world is changed,

Sarah E. Carmichael 654

The farmer's wife sat at the door
The fifth day of May

The fire of love in youthful blood
The first time that the sun rose on thine oath

The forward violet thus did I chide
The fountains mingle with the river
The Frost looked forth, one still, clear night

The frugal snail, with forecast of repose Lamb
The gale that wrecked you on the sand Emerson
The glories of our birth and state
The gorse is yellow on the heath
The gray sea and the long black land
The groves were God's first temples

Under my window, under my window
Underneath the sod low-lying.
Underneath this sable hearse

Under the greenwood tree
Untremulous in the river clear
Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb

Up from the meadows rich with corn
Up from the South at break of day
Up! quit thy bower!

Up springs the lark

Up the airy mountain

Up the dale and down the bourne

Up the streets of Aberdeen

Vital spark of heavenly flame!
