| There was never winter summer only roses | B |
| Pink and white and red | C |
| Shining down the warm rich garden closes | B |
| Quiet trees and lawns of dappled shadow | D |
| Silver lilies whisper of mignonette | D |
| Cloth of gold of buttercups outspread | D |
| Good gold sun that kissed me when we met | D |
| Shadows of floating clouds on sunny meadow | D |
| In the hay field scented grey | E |
| Loving life and love I lay | E |
| By fresh airs blown drifted into sleep | F |
| Slept and dreamed there Winter was the dream | G |

| Summer never was was always winter only | H |
| Cold and ice and frost | D |
| Only driven by the ice wind lonely | H |
| In a world of strangers in the welter | I |
| Of the puddles and the spiteful wind and sleet | D |
| Blinded by the spitting hailstones lost | D |
| In a bitter unfamiliar street | D |
| I found a doorway crouched there for just shelter | I |
| Crouched and fought in vain for breath | J |
| Cursed the cold and wished for death | J |
| Crouched there gathered somehow warmth to sleep | F |
| Slept and dreamed there Summer was the dream | G |
