  SWITCHBOARD GIRL

  Synamism

  T.E. Lawrence

  TASTE AND TENDERNESS

  Tell me a story about the war.

  Ten o'clock

  Terrible things coming up

  That woman!—eyeing houses

  The Badlands

  The Ballad of Basil

  The boy tossed the news

  The broad-leaved Arrow-head

  The brown muskrat, noiseless

  The cabin door flew open

  The clothesline post is set

  The death of my poor father

  The elegant office girl

  The eleventh of progressional

  The evening's automobiles

  The eye

  The government men said Don't plant wheat

  The graves

  The land of four o'clocks is here

  (The long/canoes)

  The man of law

  The men leave the car

  The museum man!

  The music, lady

  The number of Britons killed

  The obliteration

  The park/“a darling walk/for the mind”

  THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOLDING COMPANY

  The slip of a girl announcer

  The smooth black stone

  The soil is poor

  The wild and wavy event

  The young ones go away to school

  Their apples fall down

  There was a bridge once that said I'm going

  There's a better shine

  They came at a pace

  They live a cool distance

  They've lost their leaves

  THOMAS JEFFERSON

  Three Americans

  War

  Wartime

  Watching dan- /cers on skates

  We are what the seas

  We know him—Law and Order League—

  We physicians watch the juices rise

  Well, spring overflows the land

  What a woman!—hooks men like rugs

  What bird would light

  What cause have you

  What horror to awake at night

  When brown folks lived a distance

  When do we live again Ann

  When Ecstasy is Inconvenient

  When Johnny (Chapman) Appleseed

  White

  Who was Mary Shelley?

  Why can't I be happy

  Wild pigeon

  Wild strawberries

  Wilderness

  Will You Write Me a Christmas Poem?

  Woman in middle life

  Woman with Umbrella

  Years

  You are my friend—

  You know, he said, they used to make

  You see here
