Poet
Alfred Lord Tennyson
A Farewell
Flow down, cold rivulet, to the sea,
After-Thought
I thought of Thee, my partner and my guide,
All Things will Die
All Things will Die
Amphion
MY father left a park to me,
‘And ask ye why these sad tears stream?’
'And ask ye why these sad tears stream?'
Ask Me No More
Ask me no more: the moon may draw the sea;
Audley Court
‘The Bull, the Fleece are cramm’d, and not a room
Balin and Balan
Pellam the King, who held and lost with Lot
Battle Of Brunanburgh
Athelstan King,
Beautiful City
Beautiful city, the centre and crater of European confusion,
Blow, Bugle, Blow
THE splendour falls on castle walls
Boadicea
While about the shore of Mona those Neronian legionaries
Break, break, break
Break, break, break,
By an Evolutionist
By an Evolutionist
Claribel
Where Claribel low-lieth
Come down, O Maid
COME down, O maid, from yonder mountain height:
Come Into the Garden, Maud
Come into the garden, Maud,
Come Into the Garden, Maud II
O that 'twere possible
Come not when I am dead
Come not, when I am dead,
Cradle Song
What does little birdie say
Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
CXV: Spring
Now fades the last long streak of snow,
Dedication
Dedication
Demeter and Persephone
Faint as a climate-changing bird that flies
Duet
1. Is it the wind of the dawn that I hear
Early Spring
Once more the Heavenly Power
Enoch Arden
Long lines of cliff breaking have left a chasm;
Far-Far-Away
(For Music)
Fatima
O LOVE, Love, Love! O withering might!
Flower in the Crannied Wall
Flower in the crannied wall,
Gareth And Lynette
The last tall son of Lot and Bellicent,
Geraint And Enid
O purblind race of miserable men,
Guinevere
Queen Guinevere had fled the court, and sat
Hendecasyllabics
O you chorus of indolent reviewers,
Home They Brought Her Warrior Dead
Home they brought her warrior dead:
How Thought You That This Thing Could Captivate?
How thought you that this thing could captivate?

There is a sound of thunder afar,
Tithonus
The woods decay, the woods decay and fall,
