| These to His Memory since he held them dear | B |
| Perchance as finding there unconsciously | C |
| Some image of himself I dedicate | D |
| I dedicate I consecrate with tears | E |
| These Idylls | E |
| - | |
| And indeed He seems to me | C |
| Scarce other than my king's ideal knight | F |
| Who reverenced his conscience as his king | G |
| Whose glory was redressing human wrong | H |
| Who spake no slander no nor listened to it | I |
| Who loved one only and who clave to her ' | - |
| Her over all whose realms to their last isle | J |
| Commingled with the gloom of imminent war | K |
| The shadow of His loss drew like eclipse | E |
| Darkening the world We have lost him he is gone | L |
| We know him now all narrow jealousies | E |
| Are silent and we see him as he moved | M |
| How modest kindly all accomplished wise | E |
| With what sublime repression of himself | N |
| And in what limits and how tenderly | C |
| Not swaying to this faction or to that | O |
| Not making his high place the lawless perch | P |
| Of winged ambitions nor a vantage ground | Q |
| For pleasure but through all this tract of years | E |
| Wearing the white flower of a blameless life | R |
| Before a thousand peering littlenesses | E |
| In that fierce light which beats upon a throne | S |
| And blackens every blot for where is he | C |
| Who dares foreshadow for an only son | A |
| A lovelier life a more unstained than his | E |
| Or how should England dreaming of HIS sons | E |
| Hope more for these than some inheritance | E |
| Of such a life a heart a mind as thine | T |
| Thou noble Father of her Kings to be | C |
| Laborious for her people and her poor | U |
| Voice in the rich dawn of an ampler day | V |
| Far sighted summoner of War and Waste | W |
| To fruitful strifes and rivalries of peace | E |
| Sweet nature gilded by the gracious gleam | X |
| Of letters dear to Science dear to Art | Y |
| Dear to thy land and ours a Prince indeed | Z |
| Beyond all titles and a household name | A2 |
| Hereafter through all times Albert the Good | B2 |
| - | |
| Break not O woman's heart but still endure | C2 |
| Break not for thou art Royal but endure | C2 |
| Remembering all the beauty of that star | D2 |
| Which shone so close beside Thee that ye made | E2 |
| One light together but has past and leaves | E |
| The Crown a lonely splendour | D2 |
| - | |
| May all love | F2 |
| His love unseen but felt o'ershadow Thee | C |
| The love of all Thy sons encompass Thee | C |
| The love of all Thy daughters cherish Thee | C |
| The love of all Thy people comfort Thee | C |
| Till God's love set Thee at his side again | G2 |
