Our many years are made of clay and cloud,
617.

Our Mother, loved of all thy sons, 652.

Our mother, while she turned her wheel, 137.
Our share of night to bear, 320.

Out in the dark it throbs and glows, 371.

Out in the misty moonlight, 551.

Out of a cavern on Parnassus' side, 358.
Out of the clover and blue-eyed grass, 458.
Out of the cradle endlessly rocking, 227.
Out of the dusk a shadow, 489.

Out of the focal and foremost fire, 254.

Out of the heart there flew a little singing bird,
658.

Out of the hills of Habersham, 434.

Out of the old house, Nancy-moved up into
the new, 493.

Out of the mighty Yule log came, 613.

Out where the sky and the sky-blue sea, 739.
Overloaded, undermanned, 756.

Over the dim confessional cried, 714.
Over the plains where Persian hosts, 533.
Over our heads the branches made, 633.

Over their graves rang once the bugle's call
634.
