This is the white winter day of his burial 51

This Canada of ours 116

This is the purple sea of ancient song 146

This river of azure with many a weed in 272

Those far-off fields, how fair they seem 118

Thou askest not to know the creed 248

Thou sweet-souled comrade of a time gone by 188

Through a Gethsemane of city streets 218

'Tis dawn, but not such morning-tide 123

'Tis the laughter of pines that swing and sway 112

'Tis the sound of a silver-toned bell 224

'Tis solemn darkness, the sublime of shade 132

'Tis summer still, yet now and then a leaf 322

True comrade, we have tested life together 314

'Twas midnight. Darkness, like the glow of some funereal pall 256

'Twas on a day, and in high radiant heaven 133

Under the ward of the Polar Star 269

Up by the idling reef-set bell 52

Upon the heights of Sillery one day 163

Vast, unrevealed, in silence and the night 301

Wanted, a stalwart man 282

War-worn, sun-scorched, stained with the dust of toil 66

We fear not the thunder, we fear not the rain 234

West wind blow from your prairie nest 155

What reck we of the creeds of men?-- 43

What shall withstand her? Who shall gainsay her? 38

What went ye to the wilderness to see? 162

When early shades of evening close 40

Whence comes the charm that broods along the shore 290

When God sends out His company to travel through the stars 306

When high above the busy street 363

When ploughmen ridge the steamy brown 364

When the Sleepy Man comes with dust on his eyes 302

When tree and bush are comfortless 31

Where are the men of my heart's desire 311

Where does my sweetheart Baby go 226

Where the soft shadows fall 254

Where the world is grey and lone 89

Where, where will be the birds that sing 347

Whom would you choose? for, lo, the chief is dead 28

Wide are the plains to the north and the westward 187

Winged wonder of motion 273

Within, a panic-stricken throng 180

With folded wings of dusky light 216

With fragrance flown, as of a long-plucked bud 345

With slender arms outstretching in the sun 378

You ask for fame and power 41
