Perhaps I can encourage others to guess too if I guess in public and talk about the basis for guessing. (This rather reminds me of the qualifying exam for the doctoral program I took about a million years ago.)
I. Kipling--all that Britannia stuff.
II. Keats--all that death!
III. Maybe Swinburne--all that triple rhythm.
V. Sure looks like Wordsworth--the rural setting, the little girl.
VII. "Tintinnabulation" pretty well gives it away as Poe.
IX. Has to be Burns, right?
X. "camerados" would be a Whitman give-away.
Okay, are there arguments for other poets? And what about the ones I'm not seeing?
