| As fairest thought climbs the high sheltering hill | A |
| As still and fair | B |
| As the white cloud asleep in the deep air | B |
| - | |
| As cool as fair and cool | C |
| As starlight swimming in a lonely pool | C |
| Subtle and mild | D |
| As through her eyes the soul looks of a child | D |
| - | |
| A linnet sings and sings | E |
| A shrill swift cleaves the air with blackest wings | E |
| White twinkletails | E |
| Run frankly in their meadow as day fails | E |
| - | |
| On such a night a night | F |
| That seems but the full sleep of tired light | F |
| I look and wait | G |
| For what I know not looking long and late | G |
| - | |
| Is it for a dream I look | H |
| A vision from the Tree of Heaven shook | H |
| As sweetness shaken | I |
| From the fresh limes on lonely ways forsaken | I |
| - | |
| A dream of one maybe | J |
| Who comes like sudden wind from oversea | J |
| Or most loved swallow | K |
| Whom all fair days and golden musics follow | K |
| - | |
| More sudden yet more strange | L |
| Than magic airs on magic hills that range | L |
| Of one who'll steep | M |
| The soul in soft forgetfulness ere it sleep | M |
| - | |
| Yes down the hillside road | N |
| Where Eve's unhasty feet so gently trod | O |
| Follow His feet | P |
| Whose leaf like echoes make even spring more sweet | P |
