| Across the street across the grass | B |
| Across my life I watch her pass | B |
| No pure star on a dusky height | C |
| Hath eyes more bright | C |
| No lily on her emerald bed | D |
| A statelier head | D |
| No dewdrop on the beaded thorn | E |
| More radiantly doth glow apart | F |
| O she doth shine all these to scorn | E |
| Fair are they all star flower and dew | G |
| She is the green bud breaking thro | H |
| The winter of my heart | F |
| Two violets seeking Paradise | I |
| Have hid themselves within her eyes | J |
| Her lips are roses She doth wear | H |
| A sunbeam woven in her hair | H |
| And of the foam flake of the sea | K |
| Her cheek and neck and bosom be | K |
| And like a reed the low wind sways | L |
| Her slender figure glides along | M |
| Serenely tall and fairy sweet | N |
| In this the springtide of her days | L |
| And O to make my life a song | M |
| And lay it at her feet | N |

| SUMMER | H |
| - | |
| And now the world recedes Time Space are fleeting | A |
| All things but thee O Love have ceased to be | K |
| Here where thy heart against my heart is beating | A |
| And like a charm thy white arms compass me | K |
| And on thy blue veined breasts my head is lying | A |
| And all about my face is blown thy hair | H |
| Here let Love speak his full heart in sweet sighing | A |
| For speech were powerless now to voice his prayer | H |
| Softly thy breath like scent of violets blowing | A |
| Steals o er my cheek with slow delicious pain | O |
| Drink whilst thou canst the goblet crowned and flowing | A |
| For hours like these will never come again | P |

| AUTUMN | Q |

| There is no bud of Spring about this forest | R |
| And in our hearts too are the autumn leaves | S |
| Where are the wings O Love on which thou soarest | R |
| Meeter art thou to toil and bind the sheaves | S |
| But there is mellower light upon our faces | T |
| Thro all our veins the steadier currents flow | U |
| The statelier charms remain and friendly graces | V |
| Tho dull and fitful wanes love s lava glow | U |

| WINTER | H |
| - | |
| The slow bell tolls across the square | H |
| She doth not hear its rise and swell | W |
| The frosts of age have silvered there | H |
| The clusters of her sun gold hair | H |
| She sleepeth well | W |
| Strange city echoes here are sent | R |
| Of reckless strife for prize and place | X |
| Of hearts with warring passions rent | R |
| But Death s ineffable content | R |
| Is on her face | X |
| - | |
| A touch a joy a something there | H |
| That for my sake hath never shone | Y |
| Too well I deem in my despair | H |
| Her fairest dream I may not share | H |
| And she is gone | Z |
| - | |
| Beyond these days of care and ruth | A2 |
| To those fair stars which poets sing | A |
| Where grows the tree of fadeless Truth | A2 |
| In gardens of Immortal Youth | A2 |
| Eternal Spring | A |
