| The pear trees lift a Tyrian tinged with blood | D |
| Strange purples brighten in the smouldering plums | B |
| The fire red gold of peach and cherry comes | B |
| To storm the bronzing borders of the wood | E |

| My heart has taken from the torchful leaf | G |
| A swiftly soaring glory and the grief | G |
