| The name because one afternoon | B |
| Of heat the express train drew up there | C |
| Unwontedly It was late June | B |

| The steam hissed Someone cleared his throat | D |
| No one left and no one came | E |
| On the bare platform What I saw | F |

| Close by and round him mistier | C |
| Farther and farther all the birds | J |
| Of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire | C |
