| Yellow gold like the sun | B |
| That spills in the west as a chalice of wine | A |
| When feasting is done | B |

| You are gossamer winged little brother of mine | A |
| Tissue winged like the mist | C |
| That broods where the marshes melt into a line | A |
| Of vapour sun kissed | C |

| You are laden with sweets little brother of mine | A |
| Flower sweets like the touch | D |
| Of hands we have longed for of arms that entwine | A |
| Of lips that love much | D |

| You are better than I little brother of mine | A |
| Than I human souled | C |
| For you bring from the blossoms and red summer shine | A |
| For others your gold | C |
