INDEX OF FIRST LINES OF POEMS
‘A cold coming we had of it  1
A man’s destination is his own village 1
Among a crowd of tenuous dreams, unknown 1
Among the smoke and fog of a December afternoon 1
Apeneck Sweeney spreads his knees 1
April is the cruellest month, breeding 1
Around her fountain which flows 1

Because I do not hope to turn again 1
Burbank crossed a little bridge 1
Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones 1

Children’s voices in the orchard 1
Come under the shadow of this gray rock 1

En Amérique, professeur 1
Eyes that last I saw in tears 1
