| When I woke the pale night lay | B |
| Still expectant of the day | B |
| All about the chamber hung | I |
| Tender shade of twilight gloom | J |
| The fair dream hovered round me clung | I |
| To my thought like faint perfume | J |
| Like sweet odours such as cling | K |
| To the void flask which erst encloses | G |
| Attar of rose or the pale string | K |
| Of amber which has lain with roses | G |
