| It is not early spring and yet | B |
| Of bloodroot blooms along the stream | C |
| And blotted banks of violet | D |
| My heart will dream | C |
| - | |
| Is it because the windflower apes | E |
| The beauty that was once her brow | F |
| That the white memory of it shapes | E |
| The April now | F |
| - | |
| Because the wild rose wears the blush | G |
| That once made sweet her maidenhood | D |
| Its thought makes June of barren bush | H |
| And empty wood | D |
| - | |
| And then I think how young she died | D |
| Straight barren Death stalks down the trees | I |
| The hard eyed Hours by his side | D |
| That kill and freeze | I |
| - | |
| II | A |
| - | |
| When orchards are in bloom again | J |
| My heart will bound my blood will beat | D |
| To hear the redbird so repeat | D |
| On boughs of rosy stain | K |
| His blithe loud song like some far strain | K |
| From out the past among the bloom | L |
| Where bee and wasp and hornet boom | L |
| Fresh redolent of rain | K |
| - | |
| When orchards are in bloom once more | M |
| Invasions of lost dreams will draw | N |
| My feet like some insistent law | N |
| Through blossoms to her door | M |
| In dreams I'll ask her as before | M |
| To let me help her at the well | O |
| And fill her pail and long to tell | O |
| My love as once of yore | M |
| - | |
| I shall not speak until we quit | D |
| The farm gate leading to the lane | K |
| And orchard all in bloom again | J |
| Mid which the bluebirds sit | D |
| And sing and through whose blossoms flit | D |
| The catbirds crying while they fly | A |
| Then tenderly I'll speak and try | A |
| To tell her all of it | D |
| - | |
| And in my dream again she'll place | P |
| Her hand in mine as oft before | M |
| When orchards are in bloom once more | M |
| With all her young girl grace | P |
| And we shall tarry till a trace | P |
| Of sunset dyes the heav'ns and then | J |
| We'll part and parting I again | J |
| Shall bend and kiss her face | P |
| - | |
| And homeward singing I shall go | Q |
| Along the cricket chirring ways | R |
| While sunset one long crimson blaze | R |
| Of orchards lingers low | Q |
| And my dead youth again I'll know | Q |
| And all her love when spring is here | S |
| Whose memory holds me many a year | T |
| Whose love still haunts me so | Q |
| - | |
| III | A |
| - | |
| I would not die when Springtime lifts | U |
| The white world to her maiden mouth | V |
| And heaps its cradle with gay gifts | U |
| Breeze blown from out the singing South | V |
| Too full of life and loves that cling | W |
| Too heedless of all mortal woe | Q |
| The young unsympathetic Spring | W |
| That Death should never know | Q |
| - | |
| I would not die when Summer shakes | X |
| Her daisied locks below her hips | Y |
| And naked as a star that takes | X |
| A cloud into the silence slips | Y |
| Too rich is Summer poor in needs | Z |
| In egotism of loveliness | Z |
| Her pomp goes by and never heeds | Z |
| One life the more or less | Z |
| - | |
| But I would die when Autumn goes | Z |
| The dark rain dripping from her hair | A2 |
| Through forests where the wild wind blows | Z |
| Death and the red wreck everywhere | A2 |
| Sweet as love's last farewells and tears | Z |
| To fall asleep when skies are gray | B2 |
| In the old autumn of my years | Z |
| Like a dead leaf borne far away | B2 |
