Since there's no help, come let us kiss and part
Somewhere beneath the sun

Soul, heart, and body, we thus singly name

Stop!-not to me, at this bitter departing.

Sweet Love, but oh! most dread Desire of Love

Take, oh take those lips away

Tell me not, sweet, I am unkind.

That which her slender waist confined

The bee to the heather

The castled crag of Drachenfels

The day is come, and thou wilt fly with me
The first wild rose in wayside hedge.
The fountains mingle with the river
The joys of Love, if they should ever last.
The nightingale has a lyre of gold

There grew a lowly flower by Eden-gate
There sits a bird on every tree

The serpent is shut out from paradise

They never come back, though I loved them well

They sin who tell us Love can die

Things base and vile, holding no quantity

[merged small][ocr errors]

Though I am young and cannot tell.

Thou know'st how guiltless first I met thy flame
Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face.
Thou lingering star, with lessening ray

Three, only three, my darling

To make a final conquest of all me

To thy lover

Trust me, I have not earned your dear rebuke.

Was this the face that launched a thousand ships
We might, if you had willed, have conquered heaven
What care I though beauty fading
What find I here

What light is light, if Silvia be not seen?

When do I see thee most, beloved one

When first we met we did not guess.
When I am dead, my dearest
When love with unconfined wings
When passion's trance is overpast
When Spring comes laughing
When the lamp is shattered

When thou, poor excommunicate

When to her lute Corinna sings.

When we two parted.

When Winter hoar no longer holds

Where shall the lover rest.

Where, upon Apennine slope, with the chestnut the oak-trees

immingle.

Who is Silvia? what is she

With all my will, but much against my heart

Wonder it is to see, in divers minds

Ye banks and braes and streams around

Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon

You are a tulip seen to-day

You that do search for every purling spring

POEMS. By WILLIAM WATSON.

Mainly a reprint of the second edition of " Wordsworth's Grave" and other Poems.

TIMES. "It is true poetry; its inspiration is genuine and individual, and its execution is full of various melody.'

SCOTSMAN.-"There is always something true, manful, robust, and musical in his work."

SATURDAY REVIEW.-"Wordsworth's Grave' and some of the sonnets might alone suffice for a high reputation. Their excellence is of a kind that admits of no dispute."

PALL MALL GAZETTE.-"The verse has a calm sweep, a grave and equable power, a solid and chastened melody."

SPECTATOR." He is always classical in the better sense of the

word."

ACADEMY (Mr. COSMO MONKHOUSE)." It is of Collins' lonely vesper-chime' and the frugal note of Gray' that we think as we read the choicely-worded, well-turned quatrains that succeed each other, like the strong, unbroken waves of a full tide.

OBSERVER.-"The verse is touched with an ardour of emotion, informed with a vigour of thought, and elevated by a distinction of style, which are among the surest marks of the poet."

BOOKMAN.-"The Raven's Shadow' is obscurely fine; 'The Mock Self' profoundly true; 'The Glimpse' a perfect gem of feeling and expression."

ANTI-JACOBIN.-"He is pre-eminently a master of form,-of its proportions, its symmetries, its firm enclosing outlines, which must be seen altogether if they are to be seen at all."

Mr. W. D. HOWELLS in HARPÈR'S MAGAZINE.-" The very rare and beautiful quality of Mr. William Watson's poetry."

Mr. WALTER BESANT in the AUTHOR.-"The contents of this book have in them such a ring of poetry as we have not heard for a long time, the true ring of noble thought embedded in noble rhyme."

Mr. GRANT ALLEN in the FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW.-“In its own kind, I venture to say, since In Memoriam burst upon us, we have not heard from any new tongue quite so authentic a voice, so large and whole an utterance; we have not met anywhere with such close marks of kinship to the sanest work of the great English singers."

Mr. ANDREW LANG in LONGMAN'S MAGAZINE.-"The verse is so excellent that we may call it finished and almost perfect."

Now ready. Fcap. 8vo. Cloth.
