When first I saw the village maiden  1  3 
Day is departed, and round from the cloud, The  2  3 
Beauteous starling late I saw, A  2-3  4 
Dying thrush young Edwy found, A [sic]  3-4  3 
Stern winter's now retiring  4  4 
Fairest of the tuneful nine  4-5  2 
What means, my fair, that crystal tear  5  2 
Midnight moon serenely smiles, The  5-6  3 
This lovely peach I've kept with care  6  1 
When Cynthia sheds her silver light  6  1 
Sequestered from the haughty great  6-7  2 
Gentle stranger, tell me why  7  1 
When snow descends, and robe the fields  7-8  3 
In spring, my dear shepherds, your flow'rets are gay  8  3 
Gentle sleep, mine eye-lids close  8  1 
With the sun I rise at morn  8-9  4 
No more the festive train I'll join  9-10  4 
When the western breezes fan the shore  10  6 
Let me wander not unseen  10-11  2 
If all the world and love were young  11  6 
Lovely nymph, assuage my anguish  11-12  2 
Ye maidens so cheerful and gay  12  4 
Ye swains, none so happy as I  13-14  8 
Ye rural nymphs and shepherds, say  14-15  8 
One night, when all the village slept  15-16  3 
Ah! Damon, dear shepherd. adieu!  16  3 
Pride of every grove I chose, The  17-18  10 
What virgin or shepherd, in valley or grove  18  3 
What shepherd or nymph of the grove  18-19  5 
When absent from the nymph I love  19-20  4 
Young Celia, in her tender years  20-21  3 
When Aurora gilds the morning  21-22  8 
Gay Damon long study'd my heart to obtain  22  4 
Would you take the noon-tide air?  22-23  4 
While the lads of the village shall merrily, ah!  23  3 
Had I a heart for falsehood fram'd  23-24  4 
How long shall hapless Colin mourn  24  6 
'Twas at the cool and fragrant hour  24-25  3 
Our grotto was the sweetest place!  25  2 
Come, come, my good shepherds, our flocks we must shear  26  5 
Hawthorn is sweetly in bloom, The  26-27  5 
To hear a sweet goldfinch's sonnet  27  3 
Virgin lily of the night, The  28  2 
When the rosy morn appearing  28  3 
Now slowly o'er the streaks of parting day  28-29  4 
Je vous adore--enchanting maid  29  4 
When fairies dance round on the grass  29-30  4 
Where the jessamine sweetens the bow'r  30-32  8 
My fond shepherds of late were so blest  32  2 
Alexis, a shepherd, young, constant and kind  32-33  6 
No nymph that trips the verdant plains  33-34  5 
To dear Amaryllis young Strephon had long  34  3 
No more ye swains, no more upbraid  34-35  2 
Woodlark whistles through the grove, The  35  2 
When the head of poor Tummas was broke  35-36  2 
Young Strephon, a shepherd, the pride of the plain  36  6 
Tho' his passion, in silence, the youth would conceal  36-37  4 
Shepherd's, plain life, The  37  4 
As I went o'er the meadows, no matter the day  38  4 
Arise, sweet messenger of morn  38  3 
I search'd the fields of ev'ry kind  39  2 
While others strip the new fall'n snows  39-40  6 
Haste, haste, Amelia, gentle fair  40-41  3 
I told my nymph, I told her true  41  5 
Ye warblers, while Strephon I mourn  41-42  3 
Farewell, Ianthe, faithless maid  42-43  3 
Young Colin protests I'm his joy and delight  43  5 
Young Jockey he courted sweet Moggy so fair  43-44  6 
Gentle gales, in pity bear  44  3 
With Phillis I'll trip o'er the meads  45  3 
When vapours o'er the meadows die  45  3 
When late a simple rustic lass  46  2 
As Thyrsis reclin'd by her side he lov'd best  46-47  5 
Sure Sally is the loveliest lass  47-48  5 
What med'cine can soften the bosom's keen smart  48  4 
Where virtues encircles the fair  48-49  2 
No shepherd was like Strephon gay  49-50  6 
Assist me, all ye tuneful nine  50-51  4 
By the dew-besprinkled rose  51-52  3 
Ev'ry nymph and shepherd, bring  52  4 
Sweet Phillis, well met  53-54  6 
On ev'ry hill, in ev'ry gtove  54  2 
Vain is ev'ry fond endeavour  55  2 
Now pleasure unbounded resounds o'er the plains  55  2 
Nymph that I lov'd was as cheerful as day, The  56  2 
If those who live in shpeherd's bow'r  56  4 
Come, my Lucy, come away  57-58  8 
Bright Sol is returned, the winter is o'er  58  3 
Come then, come, ye sportive swains  59  2 
With the man that I love, was I destin'd to dwell  59  1 
Hope! thou nurse of young desire  59  3 
To sheep-shear, my boys! pipe and tabor strike up  60  1 
Flocks shall leave the mountains, The  60  2 
How sleep the brave who sink to rest  60  2 
Where the murm'ring river flows  61  2 
Poor melancholy bird, that all night long  61  2 
Where weeping yews and nodding cypress wave  61  1 
Her mouth with a smile  61-62  2 
Ye rivers so limpid and clear  62-63  6 
As near a weeping spring reclin'd  63-64  5 
Hope, thou source of ev'ry blessing  64  2 
Rest, beauteous flow'r, and bloom anew  64  2 
Where the fond zephir thro' the woodbine plays  64-65  7 
Adieu to the village delights  65-66  3 
Where the light cannot pierce, in a grove of all trees  66  7 
Noon-tide sun the fields had gilded o'er, The  67  10 
When once I with Phillida stray'd  68  4 
For tenderness fram'd in life's earliest day  68-69  3 
She came from the hills of the West  69  7 
Garlands fade, that spring so lately wave, The  70  3 
What cheerful sounds salute our ears  70-71  4 
Ye southern gales, that ever fly  71  2 
Near a smooth river's lonely side  71-72  6 
Adieu, ye streams that smoothly flow  72  4 
Blow, blow, thou summer's breeze  73  6 
Wretch condemn'd with life to part, The  74   
Sleepless bird, from eve to morn, The  74  2 
Ah! why must words my flame reveal  74-75  6 
My Delia was all my delight  75  4 
O! Hope, thou soother sweet of human woes  76  3 
Sportive genius of the green  76-77   
How sweet in the woodlands, with fleet hound and horn  77  2 
Let me live remov'd from noise  77  2 
How wretched the maiden who loves  78  5 
Happy, harmless, rural pair  78  3 
When first the East begins to dawn  78-79  3 
Young Cupid is with me wherever I go  79-80  4 
At the close of the day, when the hamlet is still  80-81  4 
Spring with smiling face is seen, The  81  2 
O! let me haunt this peaceful shade  81-82  5 
O Phoebus! down the western sky  82  7 
At dawn of day, a farmer pass'd  82-84  12 
Your wise men all declare  84  4 
My Phillida, adieu love  84-85  6 
Silent I tread this lonely wood  85-86  4 
Virgins, while your beauty's blooming  86  2 
I pr'ythee, dear shepherd, depart  86-87  3 
Farewell to the park and the play  87  3 
Dear gentle Kate, Oh! ease my care  87-88  3 
My daddy O was very good  88  6 
From the light down that mocks the gale  89  4 
Thousands would seek the lasting peace of death  89  4 
Behold, my fair, where'er we rove  90  4 
Lovely rose my Henry brought, A  90  3 
Grant me, ye pow'rs, your aid divine  90-91  2 
Go, lovely fragrant blossom, go  91  3 
Young Colin once courted Myrtilla the prude  91-92  4 
Hail, lovely rose, to thee I sing  92  3 
Gay carnation tempting bright, A  92  3 
No flow'r blooms so sweet as love  92-93  3 
When gloomy thoughts possess  93  3 
Come thou lovely peace of mind  93-94  3 
When first I met young Henry's eyes  94  3 
When scorching suns the thirsty earth  94  3 
How can my mother chide my love  94-95  3 
Oh! the hours I have pass'd in the arms of my dear  95  3 
Music, how pow'rful is thy charm!  95-96  5 
When first this humble roof I knew  96-97  2 
Her sheep had in clusters crept close to a grove  97  4 
Come, ye party jangling swains  98  4 
Go! tuneful bird, that glads the skies  98-99  2 
I dreamt I saw a piteous sight  99  8 
How oft beneath yon artless bow'r  100  3 
I do as I will with my swain  100-101  4 
Eliza, once in prospect fair  101-102  8 
Cease, tyrant of my flaming bosom, cease  102  5 
When hope endears a lover's pain  102  1 
As in the glowing noon of day  103  4 
Hark! hark! o'er the plains what glad tumults we hear  103-104  5 
Man who in his breast contains, The  104  4 
Farewell, the smoaky town, adieu  105  4 
As Jockey was trudging the meadows so gay  105-106  4 
Genteel is my Damon, engaging his air  106  4 
In my pleasant native plains  106-107  3 
When a youth commences lover  107-108  4 
Love's a gentle, gen'rous passion  108  3 
When Flora o'er the garden stray'd  108-109  2 
One morning young Roger accosted me thus  109  6 
Last time I came o'er the moor, The  109-110  5 
That I might not be plagu'e with the nonsense of men  110-111  6 
Was Nanny but a rural maid  111-112  3 
You tell me I'm handsome, (I know not how true)  112  3 
You've sure forgot, dear mother mine  112-113  4 
Let poets praise the flow'ry mead  113  3 
When once I with Phillida stray'd  114  4 
When blushes dy'd the cheek of morn  114-115  4 
Adieu the verdant lawns and bow'rs  115  3 
Amidst a rosy bank of flow'rs  116  4 
Young Thyrsis, the pride of the plain  116-117  3 
Vain sorrows and cares shall no longer molest  117  3 
In the woodbine's pleasing shade  117-118  3 
How sweetly the merry bells ring  118  3 
O'er moorlands and mountains rude, barren, and bare  119  4 
Sleep on, sleep on, my Kathleen dear  119-120  2 
Rose tree in full bearing, A  120  2 
Come haste to the wedding, ye friends and ye neighbours  120-121  3 
My lodging is on the cold ground  121  3 
Ah! sure a pair was never seen  121-122  3 
Ye fair, possess'd of ev'ry charm  122  3 
Ye fair, who shine throughout this land  123-124  6 
Sweet, sweet Robinette! all the shepherds declare  124  4 
I'm told by the wise ones, a maid I shall die  124-125  3 
On that fair bank where Lubin died  125  4 
Young Colin having much to say  125-126  4 
As Colin rang'd early one morning in spring  126-127  7 
When Fanny, blooming fair  127-128  4 
When first my shepherd told his tale  128  3 
Young Colin many a month had woo'd  128-129  4 
My Nancy leaves the rural train  129  2 
Let fame sound the trumpet, and cry "to the war!"  129-130  2 
Young Harry is as blithe a swain  130  4 
How oft, Louisa, hast thou said  131  4 
My heart's my own, my will is free  131  2 
What bard, O time, discover  131-132  2 
World, my dear Myra, is full of deceit, The  132  4 
Had I a heart for falsehood fram'd  132-133  4 
Cease, gay seducers, pride to take  133  2 
Let rakes and libertines, resign'd  133  3 
Could I her faults remember  133  2 
Hope! thou nurse of young desire!  134  3 
How blest the maid, whose wisdom  134  2 
Bird, that hears her nestlings cry, The  134-135  3 
'Twas summer, and softly the breezes were blowing  135  3 
How happy were my days till now!  136  3 
Ask if yon damask rose is sweet  136  3 
Attend, ye nymphs, while I impart  136-137  5 
Blow, blow, thou winter's wind  137  2 
By him we love, offended  137-138  3 
When the trees are all bare, not a leaf to be seen  138-139  4 
Heavy hours are almost past, The  139  3 
I lock'd up all my treasure  139-140  3 
Farewell, ye greenfields, and sweet groves  140  3 
Modes of the court so common are grown, The  140  1 
Virgin when soften'd by May, The  141  4 
Vows of love should ever bind  141-142  2 
Water parted from the sea  142  2 
In love should there meet a fond pair  142  2 
To heal the smart a bee had made  142  2 
Dear Chloe, come give me sweet kisses  142-143  3 
If o'er the cruel tyrant, love  143  3 
In the social amusements of life let me live  143-144  3 
How blithe was I each morn to see  144-145  3 
When late I wander'd o'er the plain  145  4 
Now over the hills we the timid hare chase  145-146  4 
When Zephir, who sigh for the lover's soft bliss  146  3 
Billet-doux oh! didst thou bear, The  146-147  2 
How sweet are the ties which a friend can impose  147  3 
When rural lads and lasses gay  147-148  3 
Forbid his ardent love to tell  148  3 
My William left his Nancy dear  148  2 
Young Sandy is a dowdy lad  149  3 
When trees did bud, and fields were green  149-150  4 
As Jamie gay gang'd blithe his way  150-151  4 
Lawland lads think they are fine, The  151-152  7 
Down the bourne and thro' the mead  152  3 
When the sheep are in the fauld, and a' the kye at hame  152-153  9 
Summer it was smiling, nature round was gay, The  153-154  4 
'Twas in the dead of night, soon after Jeanie wed  154-155  3 
O Nelly! no longer thy Sandy now mourns!  155  4 
One morn when nymphs and swains were gay  155-156  4 
When first you courted me  156-157  2 
When o'er the downs at early day  157  3 
Come, rouse from your trances  157-158  2 
Ye sportsmen, come forth  158  4 
Twins of Latona, so kind to my boon, The  158-159  5 
Splendid monarch of the skies, The  159  2 
When faintly gleams the doubrful day  159-160  3 
As Wit, Joke and Humor together were sat  160-16`  8 
Rail no more, ye learned asses  161  2 
When gen'rous wine expands the soul  161-162  2 
Distant hie thee, carking care  162  4 
Sons of mirth, my call attend  162-163  5 
Push about the brisk bowl: 'twill enliven the heart  163-164  7 
Banish sorrow! grief's a folly  164  3 
Happy are the days of wooing  164-165  3 
Why should the friends of young Cupid  165  4 
Flaxen headed cow-boy as simple as may be, A  166   
Were I oblig'd to beg my bread  166  5 
Sweet ditties would my Patty sing  167  3 
In good King Charles's golden days  167-168  6 
Wherever I'm going, and all the day long  169  4 
Since you mean to hire for service  169  3 
Few years ago, in the days of my grannum, A  170  3 
Well, well, say no more  170-171  2 
Sweet scented beau, and a simp'ring young cit, A  171  3 
Ye virgins, attend  171-172  5 
Man who does for freedom roar, The  172  4 
There was an old man, and, tho' tis not common  173-174  9 
Fair Sally lov'd a bonny seaman  174  4 
Stand to your guns, my hearts of oak  174-175  4 
Ah me! how heavy, and how slow  175-176  3 
How pleasant a sailor's life passes  176  3 
Life is chequer'd---toil and pleasure  176-177  3 
I was, d' ye see, a waterman  177-178  4 
Not thunders o'er the sea-boy's head  179  2 
How drear the night, how dark each cloud  179  3 
Pour me out the parting glass  180  4 
Once more I've furl'd the swelling sail  180-181  2 
Gallant soldier born to arms, The  181  2 
Soldiers ne'er should stand complaining  181-182  2 
Let Masonry from pole to pole  182  2 
Come, let us prepare, we brothers that are  182-183  7 
Hail masonry! thou Craft divine!  183-184  6 
Grant me, kind Heav'n, what I request  184  4
