Nun like and silent still | H |
Fine breathed on many an eastern bare green hill | H |
Keen light of gray eyes cool rain and stern spears | Q |
Sad light but not to tears | R |

O comfort thou of eyes | S |
Watching expectant from chill northern skies | S |
Excellent joy for lids heavy with night | A |
Strange with delight | A |
