| Now in these days when Autumn's leaf | J |
| Is red and gold and for a brief | J |
| Day the earth flowers ere it dies | B |
| What if Spring came with new surprise | B |
| Came ere the aspen shivered bare | K |
| Or the beech coins glittered in cold air | K |
| Before the rough wind the maple stripped | L |
| And this bare moon on bare boughs stepped | M |
| Vain thought O yet not wholly vain | I |
| Even to me Love has come again | N |
| Moving from your quick breast where he | O |
| Fluttered in his wondering infancy | O |
