| Beautiful bosomed O Night in thy noon | B |
| Move with majesty onward soaring as lightly | C |
| As a singer may soar the notes of an exquisite tune | B |
| The stars and the moon | B |
| Through the clerestories high of the heaven the firmament's halls | D |
| Under whose sapphirine walls | D |
| June hesperian June | B |
| Robed in divinity wanders Daily and nightly | C |
| The turquoise touch of her robe that the violets star | E |
| The silvery fall of her feet that lilies are | E |
| Fill the land with languorous light and perfume | F |
| Is it the melody mute of burgeoning leaf and of bloom | F |
| The music of Nature that silently shapes in the gloom | F |
| Immaterial hosts | G |
| Of spirits that have the flowers and leaves in their keep | H |
| Whom I hear whom I hear | I |
| With their sighs of silver and pearl | J |
| Invisible ghosts | G |
| Each sigh a shadowy girl | J |

| Who whisper in leaves and glimmer in blossoms and hover | K |
| In color and fragrance and loveliness breathed from the deep | H |
| World soul of the mother | K |

| Both sweetheart and lover | K |
| Goes singing her songs from one sweet month to the other | K |

| Lo 'tis her songs that appear appear | L |
| In forest and field on hill land and lea | C |
| As visible harmony | C |
| Materialized melody | C |
| Crystallized beauty that out of the atmosphere | L |
| Utters itself in wonder and mystery | C |
| Peopling with glimmering essence the hyaline far and the near | L |

| III | A |
| - | |
| Behold how it sprouts from the grass and blossoms from flower and tree | C |
| In waves of diaphanous moonlight and mist | M |
| In fugue upon fugue of gold and of amethyst | M |
| Around me above me it spirals now slower now faster | K |
| Like symphonies born of the thought of a musical master | K |
| O music of Earth O God who the music inspired | N |
| Let me breathe of the life of thy breath | O |
| And so be fulfilled and attired | P |
| In resurrection triumphant o'er time and o'er death | O |
