| Inside the border of bright thin grass | D |
| For all that has | E |

| The leaflets out of the ash tree shed | H |
| Are thinly spread | H |
| In the road like little black fish inlaid | I |
| As if they played | I |
| What hangs from the myriad branches down there | J |
| So hard and bare | J |
| Is twelve yellow apples lovely to see | E |
| On one crab tree | E |
| And on each twig of every tree in the dell | K |
| Uncountable | K |
| Crystals both dark and bright of the the rain | L |
| That begins again | M |
