| - | |
| In Ebon Box when years have flown | B |
| To reverently peer | C |
| Wiping away the velvet dust | D |
| Summers have sprinkled there | E |
| - | |
| To hold a letter to the light | F |
| Grown Tawny now with time | G |
| To con the faded syllables | H |
| That quickened us like Wine | I |
| - | |
| Perhaps a Flower's shrivelled check | J |
| Among its stores to find | K |
| Plucked far away some morning | L |
| By gallant mouldering hand | M |
| - | |
| A curl perhaps from foreheads | N |
| Our Constancy forgot | O |
| Perhaps an Antique trinket | P |
| In vanished fashions set | Q |
| - | |
| And then to lay them quiet back | R |
| And go about its care | E |
| As if the little Ebon Box | S |
| Were none of our affair | E |
