| Like jewels in the city set | D |
| Fair hued and many faceted | F |
| Against the old grey stones are piled | G |
| February violets pale and sweet | H |
| Whose scent of earth in woodland wild | G |
| Is wafted up and down the street | H |
| The city's heart is glad my own | I |
| Sits lightly on its bosom's throne | I |

| Imaged as clear as in a dream | K |
| A little city far away | J |
| A churlish sky a sluggish stream | K |
| Tall clust'ring trees and gardens fair | C |
| Dark birds that circle in the air | C |
| Grey towers and fanes on either hand | L |
| Stretches of wind swept meadow land | L |
