| Naked on your bed of snow | B |
| Wide your knotted arms expanding | A |
| To the biting winds that blow | B |
| Nought ye heed of storm or stress | C |
| Stubborn silent passionless | C |
| - | |
| Buried is each woodland treasure | D |
| Gone the leaves and mossy rills | C |
| Gone the birds that filled with pleasure | D |
| All the valleys and the hills | C |
| Ye alone of all that host | E |
| Stand like soldiers at your post | E |
| - | |
| Grand old trees the words ye mutter | D |
| Nodding in the frosty wind | F |
| Wake some thoughts I cannot utter | D |
| But which haunt the heart and mind | F |
| With a meaning strange and deep | G |
| As of visions seen in sleep | G |
| - | |
| Something in my inmost thinking | A |
| Tells me I am one with you | H |
| For a subtle bond is linking | A |
| Nature's offspring through and through | H |
| And your spirit like a flood | I |
| Stirs the pulses of my blood | I |

| - | |
| Horizontal rich with glory | M |
| Through the boughs the red sun's rays | C |
| Clothe you as some grand life story | M |
| Robes an aged man with praise | C |
| When before his setting sun | J |
| Men recount what he has done | J |
| - | |
| But the light is swiftly fading | A |
| And the wind is icy cold | N |
| And a mist the moon is shading | A |
| Pallid in the western gold | N |
| In the night winds still ye nod | O |
| Sentinels of Nature's God | O |
| - | |
| Now with laggard steps returning | A |
| To the world from whence I came | P |
| Leave I all the great West burning | A |
| With the day that died in flame | P |
| And the stars with silver ray | Q |
| Light me on my homeward way | Q |
