| What shining spell what exquisite sorcery | B |

| One tree and one alone | F |
| Of all that load this magic air with spice | G |

| Your brave migration out of Paradise | G |

| To poets' youthful hearts | J |
| Even so the quivering April thoughts will fly | K |

| They suck a redder honey than bees know | M |
| Unearthly wine | L |
| Sleeps in this bloom and when it falls they go | M |
