Pt.1. Sing- Song : A Nursery Rhyme Book (1972)
Angels at the food
Love me,
I love you
My baby has a father and a mother
Our little baby fell asleep
"Kookoorookoo! kookoorookoo"
Baby cry
Eight o'clock
Bread and milk for breakfast
There's snow on the fields
Dead in the cold, a sing-singing thrush
I dug an dug amongst the snow
A city plum is not a plum
Your brother has a falcon
Hear what the mournful linnets say
A baby's cradle with no baby in it
Hop-o'-my-thumb and little Jack Horner
Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth
O win, why do you never rest
Crying, my little one, footsore and weary
Growing in the vale
A linnet in a gilded cage
Wren and robins in the hedge
My baby has a mottled fist
Why did baby die
If all were rain and never sun 00 O wind, where have you been
On the grassy banks
Rushes in a watery place
Minnie and Mattie
Heartsease in my garden bed
If I were a Queen
What are heacy? sea-sand and sorrow
There is but one May in the year
The summer nights are short
The days are clear
Twist me a crown of wind-flowers
Brown and furry
A toadstool comes up in a night
A pocket handkerchief to hem
If a pig wore a wig
Seldom "can't"
1 and 1 are 2
How many seconds in a minute
What will you give me for my pound
January c old desolate
What is pink? a rose is pink
Mother shake the cherry-tree
A pin has a head, but has no hair
Hopping frog, hop here and be seen
Where innocent bright-eyed daisies are
The City mouse lives in a house
What does the donkey bray about
Three plum buns
A motherless soft lambkin
Dancing on the hill-tops
When fishes set umbrellas up
The peacock has a score of eyes
Pussy has a whiskered face
The dog lies in his kennell
If hope grew on a bush
I planted a hand
Under the ivy bush
There is one that has ahead without an eye
If a mouse could fly
Sing me a Song
The Lily has an air
Margaret has a milking-pail
In the meadow- what is the meadow
A Frisky lamb
Mix a pancake
The wind has such a rainy sound
Three little children
Fly away, fly away over the sea
Minnie b akes oaten cakes
A white hen sitting
Currents on a bush
I have but one rose in the world
Rosy maiden Winifred
When the cows come home the milk is coming
Roses blushing red and white
"Ding a ding"
A ring upon her finger
"Ferry me across the water"
When a mounting skylake sings
Who has seen the wind
The horses of the sea
O sailor, come ashore
A Diamond or a coal
An emerald is as green as grass
Boats sail on the rivers
The lily has a smooth stalk
Hurt no living thing
I caught a little ladybird
All the bells were ringing
Wee wee husband
I have a little husband
The deal old woman in the lane
Swift and sure the swallow
"I dreamt I caught a little owl"
What does the bee do
I have a Poll parrot
A house of cards
The rose with such a bonny blush
The rose that blushes rosy red
Oh fair to see
Clever little Willie Wee
The peach tree on the southern wall
A rose has thorn as well as honey
Is the moon tired? she looks so pale
If stars dropped out of heaven
"Goodbye iin fear, goodbye in sorrow"
If the sun could tell us half
If the moon came from heaven
O Lady Moon, your horns point toward the easy
What do the stars do
Motherless baby and babyless mother
Crimson curtains round my mother's bed
Baby lies so fast asleep
I know a baby, such a baby
Lullaby, oh lullaby
Lie a-bed.
Pt.2. Poems Added in Sing-Song: A Nursery Rhyme Book (1893)

Stroke a flint, and there is nothing to admire

Pt.5. Verses (1893)
"Out of the deep have i called unto Thee, O Lord"
Alone Lord God, in Whom our trust and peace
Seven vials hold Thy wrath: but what can hold
"Where neither rust nor moth doth corrupt"
"As the sparks fly upwards"
Lord, make us all love all; that when we meet
O Lord, I am ashamed to seek Thy face
It is not death, O Christ, to die for Thee
Lord, grant us eyes to see and ears to hear
"Cried out with Tears"
O Lord, on Whom we gaze and dare not gaze
"I will come and heal him"
Ah, Lord, Lord, if my heart were right with Thine
"The gold of that land is good"
Weigh all my faults and follies righeously
Lord, make me one with Thine own faithful ones
"Lights of Lights"
Chrish out all in all
"The ransomed of the Lord"
Lord, we are rivers running to thy sea
"An exceeding bitter cry"
O Lord, when Thou didst call me, didst Thou know
"Thou, God, seest me"
Lord Jesus, who would think t hat I am Thine
"The Name of Jesus
Lord God of Hosts, most Holy and most High
Lord, what have I have I may offer Thee
If I should say "my heart is in my home"
Leaf from leaf Christ knows
Lord, carry me.
Nay, but I grant thee strength
Lord, I am here.- but , child, I look for thee
New creatures; the Creator still the same
"King of Kings and Lord of Lords"
Thy Name, O Christ, as incense streaming forth
"The Good Shepherd"
"Rejoice with Me"
Shall not the judge of all the earth do right
Me and my gift: kind Lord, behold
He cannot deny Himself"
"Slain from the foundation of the world"
Lord Jesus, Thou art sweetness to my soul
I, Lord, Thy foolish sinner low and small
"Because He first loved us"
Lord, hast Thou so loved us, and will not we
As the dove which found no rest
"Thou art Fairer than the children of men"
"As the Apple Tree among the trees of wood"
None other Lamb, none other Name
"Thy Friend and thy Father's Friends forget not"
"Surely He hath borne our griefs"
"They toil not, neither do they spin"
Darness and light are both alike to Thee
"And now why tarriest thous?"
Have I not striven, My God, and watched and prayed
"God is our Hope and Strength"
Day and night the Accuser makes no pause
O mine enemy
Lord, dost Thou look on ,e, and will not I
"Peace I leave with you"
O Christ our All in each, our All in all
Because Thy Loive hath sought me
Thy fainting spouse, yet still Thy spouse
"Like as the hart desireth the water brooks"
"That where I am, there ye may be also"
"Judge not according to the appearance"
My God, wilt Thou accept, and will not we
A chill blank world, Yet over the utmost sea
"The Chiefest among ten thousand

Hope is the counterpoise of fear
"Subject to liek Passions as we are"
Experience bows a sweet contented face
"Charity never Faileth"
All beneath the sun hasterth
If thos be dead, forgive and thos shalf live

"O Luficfer, Son of the Morning"
Alas, alas! for the self-destroyed
As froth on the face of the deep
"Where the ir worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched"
Toll, bell, toll. For hope is flying
Divers Worlds, Time and Eternity
Earth has clear call of daily bells
"Escape to the Mountain"
I lift mine eyes to see: earth vanisheth
"Yet a little while" ["Heaven is no far, tho' far the sky"]

Roses on a brier
We are of those who tremble at Thy word
"Awake, thou that sleepest"
We know not when, we know not where
"I will left up mine eyes unto the Hills"
"Then whose shall those things be?"
"His Banner over me was Love"
Beloved, yield thy time to God, for He
TIme seems not short
The half moon shows a face of plaintive sweetness
"As the Doves to their windows"
Oh knell of a passing time
Time passeth away with its pleasure and pain
"The Earth shall tremble at the Look of Him"
Time lengthening, in the lengthening seemeth long
"All flesh is Grass"
Heaven's chimes are slow, but sure to strike at last

Jerusalem of fire
"She shall be brought unto the King"
Who is this that cometh up not alone
WHo sits with the King in His Throne? Not a slave but a Bridge
Antipas
"Beautiful for situation"
Lord, by what inconceivable dim road
"As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country"
Cast down but not destroyed, chastened not slain
Life up thine eves to seek the invisible
"Love is trong as Death" ["As flames that consume the mountians, as winds that coerce the sea"]
"Let them rejoice in their beds"
Slain in their high places: fallen on rest
"What hath God wrought!"
"Before the Throne, and before the Lamb"
"He shall go on more out"
Yea, blessed and jholy is he that hath part in the First Resurrection
The Joy of Saintsm like incense turned to fire

"Whither the Tribes go up, even the Tribes of the Lord"
Where never tempest heaveth
Marvel of marvels, if I myself should behold

"Worship God"
"Afterward he repented, and went"
"Are they not all Ministering Spirits"
Our life is long. Not so, Angels say
Lord, what have I to offer? sickening fear
Joy is but sorrow
Can I know it?
Nay
"When my heart is vexed I will complain"
"Praying always"
"As thy days, so shall thy strength be"
A heavy heart, if ever heart was heavy
If love is not worth loving, then life is not worth living
What is it Jesus saith unto the soul
They lie at rest, our blessed dead
"Ye that fear Him, both small and great"
"Called to be Saints"
The Sinner's own falut? So it was
Who cares for earthly bread tho' white?
Laughing Life cries at the feast
"The End is not yet"
Who would wish back the Saints upon our rought

"These all wait upon Thee"
"Doeth well . . . doeth better"
Our Heaven must be within ourselves

The Hills are tipped with sunshine, while I walk
Scarce tolerable life, which all life long
All heaven is blazing yet
"Balm in Gilead"
"In the day of his Espousals"
"She came from the uttermost part of the earth"
Alleluia! or Alas! my heart is crying
The Passion Flower hath sprung up tall
God's Acre
"The Flowers appear on the Earth"
"Thou knewest. . . thou oughtest therefore"
"Go in Peace"
"Half Dead"
"One of the Soldiers with a Spear pierced His Side"
Where love is, there comes sorrow
Bury Hope out of sight
A Churchyard Song of Patient Hope
One woe is past. Come what come will
"Take no thought for the morrow"
"Consider the Lilies of the field"
"Son, remember"
"Heaviness may endure for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning"
"The Will of the Lord be done"
"Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven"
"Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth"
"Then shall ye shout"
Everything that is born must die
Lord, grant us calm, if calm can set forth Thee
Ch a ning Chimes
"Thy Servant will go and fight with this Philistine"
Thro' burden and heat of the day
"Then I commended Mirth"
Sorrow hath a double voice
Shadows today, while shadows show God's Will
"Truly the Light is sweet"
"Are ye not much better than they?"
"yea, the sparrow hath found her an house"
"I am small and of no reputation"
O Christ my God Who seest the unseen
Yea, if Thou wilt, Thou canst put up Thy sword
Sweetness of rest when Thou sheddest rest
O foolish Soul! to make thy count
Before the beginning Thou hast forknown the end
The goat in sight! Look up and sing
Looking back along life's trodden way.
