| Clover blossoms on her breast | A |

| Lover of each gracious thing | B |
| Which makes glad the summer tide | C |
| From the daisies clustering | B |

| Moss cups tiarella leaves | H |
| Dappld like the adder's skin | I |
| Fungus huts with ivory eaves | H |
| Which the fairies harbor in | I |
| Regiments of fronded ferns | J |
| Golden rod and asters frail | K |
| Every flaming leaf that burns | J |
| Red against the autumn pale | K |
| Every pink cupped wayside rose | L |
| All to her were dear and known | M |
| But above them all she chose | L |
| Clover blossoms for her own | M |
| - | |
| So they laid her to her rest | A |
| In the sun warmed bounteous West | A |
| Clover blossoms on her breast | A |
