| Booming came a bell | B |
| From the aery in the tower | C |
| Eagles fell | B |
| So with regal wings | D |
| Hurled and gleaming sound and power | C |
| Sprang the fatal spell | B |
| - | |
| Ten a storm of burnished doves | E |
| Gleaming from the cote | F |
| Flurried by the almonry | C |
| O'er the moat | F |
| Fell and soared and fell | B |
| With the arc and iris eye | G |
| Burning breast and throat | F |
| - | |
| Avis heard the beaten bell | B |
| Break the quiet space | H |
| Gathering softly in the room | I |
| Round her face | H |
| And the sound of wings | D |
| From the deeps of rosy gloom | I |
| Rustled in the place | H |
| - | |
| Nothing moved along the wall | J |
| Weltered on the floor | C |
| Only in the purple deep | K |
| Streaming o'er | C |
| Came the dream of sound | A |
| Silent as the dale of sleep | K |
| Where the dreams are four | C |
| - | |
| One of love without a word | L |
| Wan to look upon | M |
| One of fear without a cry | G |
| Cowering stone | N |
| And the dower of life | O |
| Grief without a single sigh | G |
| Pain without a moan | N |
| - | |
| Avis Avis Cried a voice | P |
| Then the voice was mute | Q |
| Avis Soft the echo lay | R |
| As the lute | Q |
| Where she was she fell | B |
| Drowsy as mandragora | G |
| Tranc d to the root | Q |
| - | |
| Then she heard her mother's voice | P |
| Tender as a dove | S |
| Then her lover plain and sigh | G |
| Avis Love | S |
| Like the mavis bird | L |
| Calling calling lonelily | B |
| From the eerie grove | T |
| - | |
| Then she heard within the vast | U |
| Closure of the spell | B |
| Rolled and moulded into one | V |
| Rounded swell | B |
| All the sounds that ever were | G |
| Uttered underneath the sun | V |
| Heard in heaven or hell | B |
| - | |
| In the arras moved the wind | W |
| And the window cloth | X |
| Rippled like a serpent barred | Y |
| Gray with wrath | Z |
| In the brazier gold | A2 |
| The wan ghost of a rose charred | Y |
| Fluttered like a moth | X |
| - | |
| Tranquil lay her darkened eyes | B2 |
| As the pools that keep | K |
| Auras dim of fern and frond | C2 |
| Dappled deep | K |
| Dreamy as the map of Nod | D2 |
| Moveless was she as a wand | C2 |
| In the wind of sleep | K |
| - | |
| Then the birds began to cry | G |
| From the crannied wall | B |
| Piping as the morning rose | E2 |
| Mystical | B |
| Gray with whistling rain | F2 |
| Silver with the light that flows | E2 |
| In the interval | B |
| - | |
| Pallid poplars cast a shade | G2 |
| Twinkling gray and dun | V |
| Where the wind and water wove | T |
| Into one | V |
| All the linnet leaves | H2 |
| Greening from the mere and grove | T |
| In the undern sun | V |
| - | |
| Night fell with the ferny dusk | I2 |
| Planets paled and grew | G |
| Up with lily and clarid turns | J2 |
| Throbbing through | G |
| Rose the robin's song | K2 |
| Heart of home and love that burns beating in the dew | G |
| - | |
| But she neither moved nor heard | L |
| Tranc d was her breath | L2 |
| Lip on charm d lip was laid | G2 |
| One who saith | L2 |
| Love Undone and falls | M2 |
| Silent was she as a shade | G2 |
| In the dells of death | L2 |
