A Boy's Will
Part I
Into My Own. The youth is persuaded that he will be rather more than less himself for having forsworn the world.
Ghost House. He is happy in society of his choosing.
My November Guest. He is in love with being misunderstood.
Love and a Question. He is in doubt whether to admit real trouble to a place beside the hearth with love.
A Late Walk. He courts the autumnal mood.
Stars. There is no oversight of human affairs.
Storm Fear. He is afraid of his own isolation.
Wind and Window Flower. Out of the winter things he fashions a story of modern love.
To the Thawing Wind. He calls on change through the violence of the elements.
A Prayer in Spring. He discovers that the greatness of love lies not in forward-looking thoughts;
Flower-gathering. nor yet in any spur it may be to ambition.
Rose Pogonias. He is no dissenter from the ritualism of nature;
Asking for Roses. nor from the ritualism of youth which is make-believe.
Waiting--Afield at Dusk. He arrives at the turn of the year.
In a Vale. Out of old longings he fashions a story.
A Dream Pang. He is shown by a dream how really well it is with him.
In Neglect. He is scornful of folk his scorn cannot reach.
The Vantage Point. And again scornful, but there is no one hurt.
Mowing. He takes up life simply with the small tasks.
Going for Water
Part II
Revelation. He resolves to become intelligible, at least to himself, since there. is no help else;
The Trial by Existence. and to know definitely what he thinks about the soul;
In Equal Sacrifice. about love;
The Tuft of Flowers. about fellowship;
Spoils of the Dead. about death;
Pan with Us. about art (his own);
The Demiurge's Laugh. about science.
Part III
Now Close the Windows. It is time to make an end of speaking.
A Line-storm Song. It is the autumnal mood with a difference.
October. He sees days slipping from him that were the best for what they were.
My Butterfly. There are things that can never be the same.
Reluctance
