| And their thin rippled mist | B |
| That stream'd o'er the lawn | A |
| To the drowsy eyed west | C |
| Cold and grey | D |
| They slept in the way | D |
| And shrank from the ray | D |
| Of the chariot East | E |
| But now they are gone | A |
| And the bounding light | F |
| Leaps thro' the bars | G |
| Of doubtful dawn | A |
| Blinding the stars | G |
| And blessing the sight | F |
| Shedding delight | F |
| On all below | H |
| Glimmering fields | I |
| And wakening wealds | I |
| And rising lark | J |
| And meadows dark | J |
| And idle rills | I |
| And labouring mills | I |
| And far distant hills | I |
| Of the fawn and the doe | H |
| The sun is cheered | K |
| And his path is cleared | K |
| As he steps to the air | L |
| From his emerald cave | M |
| His heel in the wave | M |
| Most bright and bare | L |
| In the tide of the sky | N |
| His radiant hair | L |
| From his temples fair | L |
| Blown back on high | N |
| As forward he bends | I |
| And upward ascends | I |
| Timely and true | O |
| To the breast of the blue | O |
| His warm red lips | I |
| Kissing the dew | O |
| Which sweetened drips | I |
| On his flower cupholders | I |
| Every hue | O |
| From his gleaming shoulders | I |
| Shining anew | O |
| With colour sky born | P |
| As it washes and dips | I |
| In the pride of the morn | P |
| Robes of azure | Q |
| Fringed with amber | Q |
| Fold upon fold | R |
| Of purple and gold | R |
| Vine leaf bloom | S |
| And the grape's ripe gloom | S |
| When season deep | T |
| In noontide leisure | Q |
| With clustering heap | T |
| The tendrils clamber | Q |
| Full in the face | I |
| Of his hot embrace | I |
| Fill'd with the gleams | I |
| Of his firmest beams | I |
| Autumn flushes | I |
| Roseate blushes | I |
| Vermeil tinges | I |
| Violet fringes | I |
| Every hue | O |
| Of his flower cupholders | I |
| O'er the clear ether | Q |
| Mingled together | Q |
| Shining anew | O |
| From his gleaming shoulders | I |
| Circling about | U |
| In a coronal rout | U |
| And floating behind | V |
| The way of the wind | V |
| As forward he bends | I |
| And upward ascends | I |
| Timely and true | O |
| To the breast of the blue | O |
| His bright neck curved | W |
| His clear limbs nerved | W |
| Diamond keen | X |
| On his front serene | X |
| While each white arm strains | I |
| To the racing reins | I |
| As plunging eyes flashing | Y |
| Dripping and dashing | Y |
| His steeds triple grown | Z |
| Rear up to his throne | Z |
| Ruffling the rest | W |
| Of the sea's blue breast | W |
| From his flooding flaming crimson crest | W |
