Crossing Brooklyn Ferry 86
FROM Sea-Drift
Out of the cradle endlessly rocking 90
As I ebb'd with the ocean of life 95
On the beach at night alone 97
FROM By the Roadside
When I heard the learn'd astronomer 98
The Dalliance of the Eagles 98
FROM Drum-Taps
Beat! Beat! Drums! 99
Cavalry Crossing a Ford 99
Bivouac on a Mountain Side 100
Vigil strange I kept on the field one night 100
A march in the ranks hard-prest, and the road unknown 101
a sight in the camp daybreak gray and dim 102
The Wound 103
Long, too long America 105
Give me the splendid silent sun 105
Reconciliation 106
FROM Memories of President Lincoln
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd 107
FROM Autumn Rivulets
There was a child went forth 113
Passage to India 115
The Sleepers 122
FROM Whispers of Heavenly Death
Chanting the square deific 128
A noiseless patient spider 130
FROM Noon to Starry Night
To a Locomotive in Winter 130
FROM Sands at Seventy
As I sit writing here 131
FROM Good-Bye My Fancy
L. of G.'s Purport 131
FROM Democratic Vistas 132

(1830 - 1886)
49 I never lost as much but twice 153
67 Success is counted sweetest 153
125 For each ecstatic instant 154
130 These are the days when Birds come back 154
165 A Wounded Deer-leaps highest 155
185 "Faith" is a fine invention 155
210 The thought beneath so slight a film 155
