A fire's a good, companionable friend . Mary Howitt 143
A Happy New Year, saith the old church bell..
A hare her speed of foot was vaunting
Ah little ranting Johnny!

A Lady a party of pleasure made
A little tree stood up in the wood
A little word in kindness spoken..
All night the booming minute-gun
A lovely flower of rainbow hue.

As when the moon, refulgent lamp of night.
A tortoise,-not I hope the same
At the corner of Wood Street, when daylight appears

A thousand miles from land are we
Autocrat of all the west

Ave Maria! blessed be the hour

A wind came up out of the sea ..

Beautiful nightingale! who shall portray
Behold her single in the field
Blow, blow, thou winter wind!

Blow, gentle gales....

Blow high, blow low.

Blow, warder, blow..

Born of the bog and the stifling fog
Bright chanticleer proclaims the dawn
But who the melodies of morn can tell?.
By the moon we sport and play

Hear the sledges with the bells....

Her brakes with golden flowers were crown'd
Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere..
Here in cool grot and mossy cell

Ho, sailor of the sea!..

How beautiful is night!

How beautiful this night! the balmiest sigh
How beautiful on yonder casement-panes..
How like a tender mother

Innocent Child and snow-white flower!
In slumbers of midnight the sailor boy lay
In time of yore a vessel bound.................
In the dark and narrow street
Into the sunshine

In what delightful land..

Is this a time to be cloudy and sad?
It is a beauteous evening, calm and free
It is a lovely eve: meek Twilight now
It is a sweet and hallowed place..
It is May! it is May! .....
