| An ancient garden brimmed with summer sun | E |
| Upon a still and slumberous afternoon | F |
| Old walks and pleasances with shadows spun | E |
| Where honeyed odors swoon | F |
| A velvet turf with blossoms garlanded | C |
| A hedge of Mary lilies white and tall | G |

| A sheen of moonrise on the sea afar | J |
| And bright and soft as any glimmering star | J |
| Eyes holy as a prayer | I |
