| Some few fantastic shadows haste | B |
| Uplit with fires | C |
| Like castle spires | D |
| Outshining through a mirage waste | B |
| Behold a mournful glory sits | E |
| On feathered ferns and woven brakes | F |
| Where sobbing wild like restless child | G |
| The gusty breeze of evening wakes | F |
| Methinks I hear on every breath | H |
| A lofty tone go passing by | I |
| That whispers Weave | J |
| Though wood winds grieve | J |
| The fadeless blooms of Poesy | F |
| - | |
| A spirit hand has been abroad | K |
| An evil hand to pluck the flowers | F |
| A world of wealth | L |
| And blooming health | L |
| Has gone from fragrant seaside bowers | F |
| The twilight waxeth dim and dark | M |
| The sad waves mutter sounds of woe | N |
| But the evergreen retains its sheen | O |
| And happy hearts exist below | N |
| But pleasure sparkles on the sward | P |
| And voices utter words of bliss | F |
| And while my bride | Q |
| Sits by my side | Q |
| Oh where's the scene surpassing this | F |
| - | |
| Kiama slumbers robed with mist | R |
| All glittering in the dewy light | S |
| That brooding o'er | A |
| The shingly shore | A |
| Lies resting in the arms of Night | S |
| And foam flecked crags with surges chill | T |
| And rocks embraced of cold lipped spray | A |
| Are moaning loud where billows crowd | U |
| In angry numbers up the bay | A |
| The holy stars come looking down | V |
| On windy heights and swarthy strand | W |
| And Life and Love | X |
| The cliffs above | X |
| Are sitting fondly hand in hand | W |
| - | |
| I hear a music inwardly | Y |
| That floods my soul with thoughts of joy | Z |
| Within my heart | A2 |
| Emotions start | A2 |
| That Time may still but ne'er destroy | Z |
| An ancient Spring revives itself | B2 |
| And days which made the past divine | C2 |
| And rich warm gleams from golden dreams | F |
| All glorious in their summer shine | C2 |
| And songs of half forgotten hours | F |
| And many a sweet melodious strain | D2 |
| Which still shall rise | F |
| Beneath the skies | F |
| When all things else have died again | E2 |
| - | |
| A white sail glimmers out at sea | Y |
| A vessel walking in her sleep | F2 |
| Some Power goes past | G2 |
| That bends the mast | G2 |
| While frighted waves to leeward leap | F2 |
| The moonshine veils the naked sand | W |
| And ripples upward with the tide | Q |
| As underground there rolls a sound | H2 |
| From where the caverned waters glide | Q |
| A face that bears affection's glow | N |
| The soul that speaks from gentle eyes | F |
| And joy which slips | F |
| From loving lips | F |
| Have made this spot my Paradise | F |
