The summer leaves were sighing, 539

The sun comes forth: each mountain height, 529
The sun sets brightly: but a ruddier glow, 97
The torrent-wave, that breaks with force, 48
The troubadour o'er many a plain, 101
The trumpet of the battle, 567

The trumpet's voice hath roused the land, 374

The vesper-bell from church and tower, 547
The voices of my home! I hear them still, 316
The voices of two forest boys, 437

The war-note of the Saracen, 446

The warrior bow'd his crested head, and tamed his heart, 456
The warrior cross'd the ocean's foam, 361

The wind, the wandering wind, 542

The wine-month shone in its golden prime, 255

The woods! oh, solemn are the boundless woods, 396
Theirs was no dream, O monarch hill, 151
Then was a task of glory all thine own, 600
There are bright scenes beneath Italian skies, 191
There are sounds in the dark Roncesvalles, 541
There are the aspens with their silvery hair, 576
There are who climb the mountain's heathery side, 622
There blooms a plant, whose gaze from hour to hour, 46
There have been bright and glorious pageants here, 251
There is a wakening on the mighty hills, 581
There was a mournfulness in angel eyes, 599
There was heard a song on the chiming sea, 451

There was heard the sound of a coming foe, 345
There was music on the midnight, 448

There went a dirge through the forest's gloom, 457
There went a warrior's funeral through the night, 401
There were faint sounds of weeping; fear and gloom, 467
There were sights and sounds of revelry, 452

There were thick leaves above me and around, 427
There were trampling sounds of many feet, 515
There's beauty all around our paths, if but our watchful eyes,370
These marble domes, by wealth and genius graced, 50
They float before my soul, the fair designs, 623
They grew in beauty, side by side, 435

They haunt me still, these calm, pure, holy eyes, 464

They have wander'd in their glee, 541

They rear'd no trophy o'er his grave, 609

They sought for treasures in the tomb, 244
Thine eyes are charm'd, thine earnest eyes, 453
Thine is a strain to read among the hills, 422
This green recess, where through the bowery gloom, 51
This mountain scene with sylvan grandeur crown'd, 44
Those eyes whence love diffused her purest light, 44
Thou art a thing on our dreams to rise, 357
Thou art bearing hence thy roses, 366
Thou art come from the spirit's land, thou bird, 343
Thou art gone, thou art slumbering low, 421
Thou art like night, O sickness! deeply stilling, 628
Thou art no lingerer in monarchs' hall, 431
Thou art passing hence, my brother, 459
Thou art sounding on, thou mighty sea, 356
Thou art welcome, O thou warning voice, 509
Thou didst fall on the field with thy silver hair, 555
Thou grot, whence flows this limpid spring, 52
Thou hast a charmèd cup, O Fame, 497
Thou hast been rear'd too tenderly, 486

Thou hast been where the rocks of coral grow, 481
Thou hast loved and thou hast suffered, 501
Thou hast thy record in the monarch's hall, 599
Thou hast watch'd beside the bed of death, 507
Thou in thy morn wert like a glowing rose, 50

Thou mov'st in visions, Love! around thy way, 503
Thou see'st her pictured with her shining hair, 416
Thou shouldst be look'd on when the starlight falls, 250
Thou shouldst have slept beneath the stately pines, 490
Thou sleepest, but when wilt thou wake, fair child, 431
Thou that canst gaze upon thine own fair boy, 356
Thou that hast loved so long and well, 489

Thou that with pallid cheek, 496

Thou that wouldst mark in form of human birth, 51
Thou the stern monarch of dismay, 51

Thou thing of years departed, 436

Thou to whose power my hopes, my joys, I gave, 45
Thou wak'st from rosy sleep to play, 355

Thou who hast fled from life's enchanted bowers, 50
Though dark are the prospects and heavy the hours, 11
Though youth may boast the curls that flow, 10
Throne of expression, whence the spirit's ray, 59
Through evening's bright repose, 589

Thy foes had girt thee with their dread array, 93

Thy heart is in the upper world, where fleet the chamois, 450
Thy rest was deep at the slumberer's hour, 348

Thy voice is in mine ear, beloved, 453

Thy voice prevails! Dear friend, my gentle friend, 442
Thy voice was in my soul, it call'd me on, 455

'Tis lone on the waters, 486

'Tis sweet to think the spirits of the blest, 3
To thee, maternal guardian of my youth, 2
To-night, kind friends, at your tribunal here, 21
Too long apart, a bright but sever'd band, 520
Too long have tyranny and power combined, 4
Torches were blazing clear, 346

Trees, gracious trees, how rich a gift ye are, 619
Tribes of the air, whose favour'd race, 531
'Twas a bright moment of my life, when first, 623
'Twas a dream of olden days, 491

'Twas a lovely thought to mark the hours, 369
'Twas but a dream! I saw the stag leap free, 385
'Twas early day, and sunlight stream'd, 437
'Twas morn upon the Grecian hills, 243
'Twas night in Babylon; yet many a beam, 219

'Twas night upon the Alps. The Senn's wild horn, 234
'Twas noon, and Afric's dazzling sun on high, 212
'Twas the deep mid-watch of the silent night, 241

Two barks met on the deep mid-sea, 560
Two solemn voices in a funeral strain, 472

Unbending midst the watery skies, 48
Under a palm-tree, by the green old Nile, 600
Upward, and upward still! in pearly light, 618
Voice of the gifted elder time, 339

Warrior! whose image on thy tomb, 428
Warriors! my noon of life is past, 56

Was it the sigh of the southern gale, 495

Was that the light from some lone swift canoe, 590
Watch ye well! the moon is shrouded, 146
Waves of Mondego, brilliant and serene, 47
We come not, fair one! to thy hand of snow, 53

We have the myrtle's breath around us here, 394
We heard thy name, O Mina, 541

We miss thy voice, while early flowers are blooming, 486
We return, we return, we return no more, 500
We saw thee, O stranger! and wept, 343
We see no more in thy pure skies, 588

Weep thou no more! O monarch! dry thy tears, 121
Weeper! to thee how bright a morn was given, 600

Weep'st thou for him whose doom was seal'd, 56
Welcome, O pure and lovely forms! again, 628
Well might thine awful image thus arise, 628
What are the lessons given, 252

What dost thou here, brave Swiss, 294

What first should consecrate as thine, 295

What hidest thou in thy treasure-caves and cells, 361
What household thoughts around thee as their shrine, 600
What secret current of man's nature turns, 620

What wak'st thou, spring? Sweet voices in the woods, 432
What was your doom, my father? In thine arms, 587
What wish can friendship form for thee, 295
What woke the buried sound that lay, 563

When from the mountain's brow the gathering shade, 138
When the last blush of eve is dying, 148
When the soft breath of spring goes forth, 533
When the tide's billowy swell, 492

When the young eagle with exulting eye, 106
When thy bounding step I hear, 524
When twilight's gray and pensive hour, 532
When will ye think of me, my friends, 500
Whence are those tranquil joys in mercy given, 15
Whence art thou, flower? From holy ground, 244
Whence is the might of thy master-spell, 498
Where are the vintage-songs, 546

Where are they, those green fairy islands, reposing, 146
Where is the sea? I languish here, 487

Where is the summer with her golden sun, 349
Where is the tree the prophet threw, 496

Where met our bards of old? The glorious throng, 246
Where shall I find some desert scene so rude, 47
Where shall I find in all this fleeting earth, 489
Where shall the minstrel find a theme, 534
Where shall we make her grave, 549

Where sucks the bee now? Summer is flying, 355
Where the long reeds quiver, 581

Wherefore and whither bear'st thou up my spirit, 483
While the blue is richest, 565

Whisper, thou tree, thou lonely tree, 473

Whither, celestial maid, so fast away, 53

Whither, oh whither, wilt thou wing thy way, 628
Who watches on the mountains with the dead, 598
Why art thou thus in thy beauty cast, 524
Why lingers my gaze where the last hues of day, 149
Why wouldst thou leave me, O gentle child, 423
Wildly and mournfully the Indian drum, 406
Willow! in thy breezy moan, 542

With sixty knights in his gallant train, 238
With what young life and vigour in its breath, 256
Wouldst thou to love of danger speak, 48
Wouldst thou wear the gift of immortal bloom, 439
Wrapt in sad musings, by Euphrates' stream, 43

Ye are not miss'd, fair flowers, that late were spreading, 549
Ye have been holy, O founts and floods, 474

Ye met at the stately feasts of old, 480
Ye tell me not of birds and bees, 499
Ye too, the free and fearless birds of air, 602
Yes! all things tell us of a birthright lost, 622
Yes! I came from the spirit's land, 343
Yes! I have seen the ancient oak, 347
Yes! it is haunted, this quiet scene, 358
Yes! it is ours: the field is won, 245
Yes! rear thy guardian hero's form, 485
Yes! thou hast met the sun's last smile, 360
Yet as a sun-burst flushing mountain-snow, 599
Yet, rolling far up some green mountain-dale, 618
You ugliest of fabrics! you horrible eyesore, 382

THEOLOGICAL WORKS

PUBLISHED BY

WILLIAM BLACKWOOD & SONS,

EDINBURGH AND LONDON.

Just published, in Two Volumes 8vo, £1, 8s.,

RATIONAL THEOLOGY AND CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY IN
ENGLAND IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY.

By JOHN TULLOCH, D.D., Principal of St. Mary's College in the University of St.
Andrews; one of Her Majesty's Chaplains in Scotland; Author of 'Leaders of the
Reformation,' and English Puritanism and its Leaders.'

'The work shows the results of extensive and minute research, fair criticism, and compre-
hensive analysis. The author is discriminating and clear. His spirit is tolerant, liberal,
devout.'- Westminster Review.

'Dr. Tulloch deserves thanks for recalling fresh attention to two such groups of writers,
whose feelings and thoughts, like their circumstances, were far nearer to ours than a superficial
glance would show. His book is always interesting and suggestive.'-London Quarterly
Review.

'Its style and arrangement are excellent; and it evinces laborious research in the history of
the stormy religious crisis of which it treats. The author's study of the theologians of that
age has been accurate as well as extensive; and the result of his investigations will be bene-
ficial to the ecclesiastical student, as analysing the works and recording the views of many
eminent divines, some of whose treatises still survive in ordinary use as guides to Christian
philosophy and doctrine.'-Morning Post.

The man who can write in this fashion is worth listening to, and his book worth reading.
Long as our notice has become, we have yet done scant justice to the merits of a work which
must be regarded as an important contribution to our literary history, and as such we com-
mend it to our readers without reserve. It fills up a gap which had long been felt to be
empty. It is rich in pregnant and suggestive thought.'-Athenæum.

'We have thought it better thus generally to describe and characterize the work. It is in
every respect most masterly. Ample scholarship, well-disciplined powers, catholic sympathies,
and a masculine eloquence, give it a high place among modern contributions to theological
science. It is a work of which any Church might be proud.'-British Quarterly Review.

Every thoughtful and liberal Englishman who reads these volumes will feel that Principal
Tulloch has laid him under obligations in writing them.'-Spectator.

This is the first systematic account of the long series of divines who, whether under the
name of Rational, Platonist, Latitudinarian, or Liberal, have never ceased out of the Church
of England from the days of Colet to the days of Milman. The reproduction of these men in
bold relief against the background of the ordinary representatives of the Church of England is,
as we shall proceed to show, of an importance far transcending any mere historical interest.
That this work should have been written, not by an Englishman, but by a distinguished
divine of the sister Church of Scotland, adds to its interest.

"The pleasure with which Principal Tulloch explores this comparatively unknown field
communicates itself to his readers, and the academic groves of Oxford and Cambridge are in-
vested with the freshness of a new glory, reflected upon them from the far-off rocky shore of
St. Andrews.'-Edinburgh Review.

It is impossible not to feel the attraction of the fresh-
ness with which he has invested the scenes so familiar to us in the Gospel History. Sketches
of scenery, illustrations of personal character, new views of various points in the history,
contribute to present our Lord's ministry and its surroundings with a vividness not often
equalled.'-Nonconformist.

Deserves high commendation,-first, for the reverent common sense which characterizes its
judgments; next, for the extensive and careful reading of the best authorities of which it is
the result; also for its admirable arrangement and lucidity; and lastly, for the succinctness
which, without any sacrifice of completeness, presents us with a full view of the ministry of
our Lord, its conditions, characteristics, and results, in so small a compass.'-British Quar-
terly Review.

An admirable sketch of our Lord's public ministry.'-Evangelical Magazine.
