| A spirit haunts the year's last hours | B |
| Dwelling amid these yellowing bowers | B |
| To himself he talks | C |
| For at eventide listening earnestly | D |
| At his work you may hear him sob and sigh | A |
| In the walks | C |
| Earthward he boweth the heavy stalks | C |
| Of the mouldering flowers | B |
| Heavily hangs the broad sunflower | E |
| Over its grave i' the earth so chilly | D |
| Heavily hangs the hollyhock | F |
| Heavily hangs the tiger lily | D |

| The air is damp and hush'd and close | G |
| As a sick man's room when he taketh repose | H |
| An hour before death | I |
| My very heart faints and my whole soul grieves | J |
| At the moist rich smell of the rotting leaves | J |
| And the breath | I |
| Of the fading edges of box beneath | K |
| And the year's last rose | H |
| Heavily hangs the broad sunflower | E |
| Over its grave i' the earth so chilly | D |
| Heavily hangs the hollyhock | F |
| Heavily hangs the tiger lily | D |
