| And uncanny cold | B |

| She looks like a young maiden since her brow | E |
| Is smooth and fair | F |

| Nay but she sleeps like a bride and dreams her dreams | H |
| Of perfect things | I |
| She lies at last the darling in the shape of her dream | J |
| And her dead mouth sings | I |
| By its shape like the thrushes in clear evenings | I |
