| How weary 'twas to wait The year | B |
| Went dragging slowly on | C |
| The red leaf to the running brook | D |
| Dropped sadly and was gone | E |
| December came and locked in ice | F |
| The plashing of the mill | G |
| The white snow filled the orchard up | H |
| But she was waiting still | G |
| - | |
| Spring stirred and broke The rooks once more | I |
| 'Gan cawing in the loft | J |
| The young lambs' new awakened cries | K |
| Came trembling from the croft | J |
| The clumps of primrose filled again | L |
| The hollows by the way | M |
| The pale wind flowers blew but she | A |
| Grew paler still than they | M |

| How weary 'twas to wait With June | N |
| Through all the drowsy street | O |
| Came distant murmurs of the war | I |
| And rumours of the fleet | O |
| The gossips from the market stalls | P |
| Cried news of Joe and Tim | Q |
| But June shed all her leaves and still | G |
| There came no news of him | Q |
| - | |
| And then at last at last at last | R |
| One bless d August morn | S |
| Beneath the yellowing autumn elms | T |
| Pang panging came the horn | S |
| The swift coach paused a creaking space | U |
| Then flashed away and passed | R |
| But she stood trembling yet and dazed | V |
| The news had come at last | R |
| - | |
| And thus the artist saw her stand | W |
| While all around her seems | X |
| As vague and shadowy as the shapes | Y |
| That flit from us in dreams | X |
| And naught in all the world is true | Z |
| Save those few words which tell | A2 |
| That he she lost is found again | L |
| Is found again and well | A2 |
