| Day of days Unmarked it rose | H |
| In whose hours we were to meet | I |
| And forgotten passed Who knows | H |
| Was earth cold or sunny Sweet | I |
| At the coming of your feet | I |
| - | |
| One mere day we thought the measure | J |
| Of such days the year fulfills | K |
| Now how dearly would we treasure | J |
| Something from its fields its rills | K |
| And its memorable hills | K |
