| Green watery jets of light let through | B |
| The rippling foliage drenched with dew | B |
| Bland glow worm glamours warm and dim | C |
| Above the mystic vistas swim | C |
| Where 'round the fountain's oozy urn | D |
| The limp loose fronds of limber fern | D |
| Wave dusky tresses thin and wet | E |
| Blue filleted with violet | F |
| O'er roots that writhe in snaky knots | G |
| The moss in amber cushions clots | G |
| From wattled walls of brier and brush | H |
| The elder's misty attars gush | H |
| And Argus eyed by knoll and bank | I |
| The affluent wild rose flowers rank | I |
| And stol'n in shadowy retreats | J |
| In black rich soil your vision greets | J |
| The colder undergrowths of woods | K |
| Damp lushy leaved whose gloomier moods | L |
| Turn all the life beneath to death | M |
| And rottenness for their own breath | M |
| May apples waxen stemmed and large | N |
| With their bloom screening breadths of targe | N |
| Wake robins dark green leaved their stems | O |
| Tipped with green oval clumps of gems | O |
| As if some woodland Bacchus there | P |
| A braiding of his yellow hair | P |
| With ivy tod had idly tost | F |
| His thyrsus there and so had lost | F |
| Low blood root with its pallid bloom | Q |
| The red life of its mother's womb | Q |
| Through all its ardent pulses fine | R |
| Beating in scarlet veins of wine | R |
| And where the knotty eyes of trees | S |
| Stare wide like Fauns' at Dryades | S |
| That lave smooth limbs in founts of spar | T |
| Shines many a wild flower's tender star | T |

| The scummy pond sleeps lazily | U |
| Clad thick with lilies and the bee | U |
| Reels boisterous as a Bassarid | F |
| Above the bloated green frog hid | F |
| In lush wan calamus and grass | S |
| Beside the water's stagnant glass | S |
| The piebald dragon fly like one | V |
| A weary of the world and sun | V |
| Comes blindly blundering along | W |
| A pedagogue gaunt lean and long | W |
| Large headed naturalist with wise | S |
| Great glaring goggles on his eyes | S |
| And dry and hot the fragrant mint | F |
| Pours grateful odors without stint | F |
| From cool clay banks of cressy streams | S |
| Rare as the musks of rich hareems | S |
| And hot as some sultana's breath | M |
| With turbulent passions or with death | M |
| A haze of floating saffron sound | F |
| Of shy crisp creepings o'er the ground | F |
| The dip and stir of twig and leaf | X |
| Tempestuous gusts of spices brief | X |
| From elder bosks and sassafras | S |
| Wind cuffs that dodge the laughing grass | S |
| Sharp sudden songs and whisperings | S |
| That hint at untold hidden things | S |
| Pan and Sylvanus that of old | F |
| Kept sacred each wild wood and wold | F |
| A wily light beneath the trees | S |
| Quivers and dusks with ev'ry breeze | S |
| Mayhap some Hamadryad who | B |
| Culling her morning meal of dew | B |
| From frail accustomed cups of flowers | S |
| Some Satyr watching through the bowers | S |
| Had when his goat hoof snapped and pressed | F |
| A brittle branch shrunk back distressed | F |
| Startled her wild tumultuous hair | P |
| Bathing her limbs one instant there | P |
