Index of First Lines<br />

A breath before gray streaks of dawn 62<br />

A cry ascends from beach to seaside villa <strong>–</strong> 112<br />

A lady of great beauty sits, 107<br />

A painted moon hung full and high, its blush subdued, yet bright. 140<br />

A savage sunset robed the silent wood 27<br />

A tear for the sick 62<br />

Against unyielding crag on storm-swept shore, 61<br />

Allow yourself the privilege of a song 18<br />

Am I a crazy man 72<br />

An angry wind blows over me 46<br />

An arc extends across the sky’s expanse 136<br />

Are you really light as air Can you truly fly 52<br />

Arms like trees, back broad and long 59<br />

As bugle winds entice the songs of lore, 108<br />

At a big hotel that I know quite well 17<br />

August’s heat bows to September’s cool, 36<br />

Back home the north wind howls and blizzards blow. 110<br />

Back in the <strong>New</strong> World, outdated, old rubbish 79<br />

Back when the world was still quiet and peaceful, 80<br />

Beneath blue sun-filled skies, tall white forms gleam 74<br />

Better walk slow 41<br />

Black and gothic, 54<br />

Call me a zealot for my strong beliefs, 104<br />

Coffee mild, but dark as toast 16<br />

Creation snoggles all my deeper think, 112<br />

Dear Abby tell me what to do. 142<br />

Dear Mr. Pound, I write 92<br />

Detection, perception, reflection alone 27<br />

“Did you know that she’s left” 26<br />

Every year, around the time, 122<br />

Four cargo vessels plowing furrows forward 98<br />

From out the cold and under deep, 66<br />

Grandeur crescendos 18<br />

Had we but world enough and time, 121<br />

He shuffled through the dust on blistered feet 94<br />

Here up north the air is cleaner. 99<br />

He’s always been distractible and loud, 109<br />

Hey, I saw it 60<br />

How like unto a longing heart was I 47<br />
