| Down flits the snow | B |
| Travelling from the frozen North | C |
| As cold as it can blow | B |
| Poor robin redbreast | D |
| Look where he comes | E |
| Let him in to feel your fire | F |
| And toss him of your crumbs | E |
| - | |
| On the wind in February | A |
| Snowflakes float still | G |
| Half inclined to turn to rain | H |
| Nipping dripping chill | G |
| Then the thaws swell the streams | I |
| And swollen rivers swell the sea | A |
| If the winter ever ends | J |
| How pleasant it will be | A |
| - | |
| In the wind of windy March | K |
| The catkins drop down | L |
| Curly caterpillar like | M |
| Curious green and brown | L |
| With concourse of nest building birds | N |
| And leaf buds by the way | O |
| We begin to think of flowers | P |
| And life and nuts some day | O |
| - | |
| With the gusts of April | Q |
| Rich fruit tree blossoms fall | R |
| On the hedged in orchard green | S |
| From the southern wall | R |
| Apple trees and pear trees | T |
| Shed petals white or pink | U |
| Plum trees and peach trees | T |
| While sharp showers sink and sink | U |
| - | |
| Little brings the May breeze | T |
| Beside pure scent of flowers | P |
| While all things wax and nothing wanes | V |
| In lengthening daylight hours | P |
| Across the hyacinth beds | W |
| The wind lags warm and sweet | D |
| Across the hawthorn tops | X |
| Across the blades of wheat | D |
| - | |
| In the wind of sunny June | Y |
| Thrives the red rose crop | Z |
| Every day fresh blossoms blow | B |
| While the first leaves drop | Z |
| White rose and yellow rose | A2 |
| And moss rose choice to find | D |
| And the cottage cabbage rose | A2 |
| Not one whit behind | D |
| - | |
| On the blast of scorched July | B2 |
| Drives the pelting hail | C2 |
| From thunderous lightning clouds that blot | D |
| Blue heaven grown lurid pale | C2 |
| Weedy waves are tossed ashore | D2 |
| Sea things strange to sight | D |
| Gasp upon the barren shore | D2 |
| And fade away in light | D |
| - | |
| In the parching August wind | D |
| Corn fields bow the head | D |
| Sheltered in round valley depths | E2 |
| On low hills outspread | D |
| Early leaves drop loitering down | L |
| Weightless on the breeze | T |
| First fruits of the year's decay | O |
| From the withering trees | T |
| - | |
| In brisk wind of September | F |
| The heavy headed fruits | F2 |
| Shake upon their bending boughs | G2 |
| And drop from the shoots | F2 |
| Some glow golden in the sun | H2 |
| Some show green and streaked | D |
| Some set forth a purple bloom | I2 |
| Some blush rosy cheeked | D |
| - | |
| In strong blast of October | F |
| At the equinox | J2 |
| Stirred up in his hollow bed | D |
| Broad ocean rocks | J2 |
| Plunge the ships on his bosom | K2 |
| Leaps and plunges the foam | L2 |
| It's oh for mothers' sons at sea | A |
| That they were safe at home | L2 |
| - | |
| In slack wind of November | F |
| The fog forms and shifts | M2 |
| All the world comes out again | N2 |
| When the fog lifts | M2 |
| Loosened from their sapless twigs | O2 |
| Leaves drop with every gust | D |
| Drifting rustling out of sight | D |
| In the damp or dust | D |
| - | |
| Last of all December | F |
| The year's sands nearly run | H2 |
| Speeds on the shortest day | O |
| Curtails the sun | H2 |
| With its bleak raw wind | D |
| Lays the last leaves low | B |
| Brings back the nightly frosts | P2 |
| Brings back the snow | B |
