• A Family Jar
• A merrier crowd than journeyed there
• Ah Tie. That Deadly Pie
• And discontent with me will bide
• And ere the night began to fade
• And few but felt some portion sore
• And long before the stars withdrew
• And shouts and calls that filled the air
• And there they sported on the lawn
• Around the house some staid to pile
• At left or right or center field
• At times, the wheel upon a fence
• But from the lake they all withdrew
• But many Brownies thought it best
• But there, while darkness wrapped the hill
• But when he thanked them for their aid
• But when the Brownies lacked a road
• But while the surf they tumbled through
• Cora Lee
• Ere long, upon the homeward road
• Flirting, and What Came of It
• For bolts and bars they little care
• For I'll be master of the ring
• For sad and painful is the fate
• Gone from His Gaze
• In a Thousand Years. (A Woman’s Dream of the Future.)
• In case of mishap on the way
• June
• Lest some should venture, over-bold
• My Canine
• Nor was the speed, returning, slow
• Now "double plays" and balls well curved
• Now soon the work was under way
• Now, guided by the rumbling sound
• Ode on a Bumble-Bee
• Ode on a Flea
• Oleomargarine
• Roller Skating
• Scenes on the Sidewalk
• Sermon on a Pin
• So plans were laid without delay
• So thus they saw the moments fly
• Soon every corner of the ground
• The "strikes" and "balls" to plainly shout
• The Breathing Spell
• The Brownies and the Bees
• The Brownies and the Locomotive
• The Brownies and the Spinning-Wheel
• The Brownies and the Tugboat

• The lighted eagles, through the night
• The Mason’s Ride
• The night was dark, the lucky elves
• The Race-Track
• The Rejected Suitor
• The skates that would their fun insure
• The Thief
• Their mode of action and their skill
• Then will the time be ripe, indeed
• They noticed not the hours depart
• To introduce our mystic art
• To reach the bridge that led to town
• Trials of the Farmer
• We'll dose the dog to keep him still
• We'll take position, come what may
• When every strap a buckle found
• When Farmer Gill that morning fair
• When hungry bats came forth to wheel
• When next he climbed his pulpit stair
• While carrots, turnips, beets, and all
• While others, freed from games on hand
• While piles of club and rocker skates
• While some prepared a rein or trace
• While some who strove their friends to aid
• With branches broken off to suit
• With such remarks away they went
