| The lark said 'Let but winter be away | E |
| And blossoms come and light and I will soar | F |
| And lose the earth and be the voice of day ' | - |
| But when the snows were o'er | G |
| But when spring broke in blueness overhead | H |
| The lark was dead | H |
| - | |
| And myriad roses made the garden glow | I |
| And skylarks carolled all the summer long | J |
| What lack of birds to sing and flowers to blow | I |
| Yet ah lost scent lost song | J |
| Poor empty rose poor lark that never trilled | H |
| Dead unfulfilled | H |
