| O'er the waste of blue | B |
| Summer flowers are dying dying | A |
| Late so lovely new | B |
| Labouring wains are slowly rolling | A |
| Home with winter grain | C |
| Holy bells are slowly tolling | A |
| Over buried men | D |
| - | |
| Goldener light sets noon a sleeping | A |
| Like an afternoon | E |
| Colder airs come stealing creeping | A |
| From the misty moon | E |
| And the leaves of old age dying | A |
| Earthy hues put on | F |
| Out on every lone wind sighing | A |
| That their day is gone | G |
| - | |
| Autumn's sun is sinking sinking | A |
| Down to winter low | H |
| And our hearts are thinking thinking | A |
| Of the sleet and snow | H |
| For our sun is slowly sliding | A |
| Down the hill of might | I |
| And no moon is softly gliding | A |
| Up the slope of night | I |
| - | |
| See the bare fields' pillaged prizes | J |
| Heaped in golden glooms | J |
| See the earth's outworn sunrises | J |
| Dream in cloudy tombs | J |
| Darkling flowers but wait the blowing | A |
| Of a quickening wind | K |
| And the man through Death's door going | A |
| Leaves old Death behind | K |
| - | |
| Mourn not then clear tones that alter | L |
| Let the gold turn gray | M |
| Feet though feeble still may falter | L |
| Toward the better day | M |
| Brother let not weak faith linger | L |
| O'er a withered thing | A |
| Mark how Autumn's prophet finger | L |
| Burns to hues of Spring | A |
