| The juice big apples' sullen gold | B |
| Like lazy Sultans laughed and lolled | B |
| 'Mid heavy mats of leaves that lay | C |
| Green flatten'd 'gainst the glaring day | C |
| And here a pear of rusty brown | D |
| And peaches on whose brows the down | D |
| Waxed furry as the ears of Pan | E |
| And like Diana's cheeks whose tan | E |
| Burnt tender secresies of fire | F |
| Or wan as Psyche's with desire | F |
| Of lips that love to kiss or taste | B |
| Voluptuous ripeness there sweet placed | B |
| And down the orchard vistas he | G |
| Barefooted trousers out at knee | G |
| Face shadowing from the sloping sun | H |
| A hat of straw brim sagging broad | B |
| Came lowly whistling some vague tune | I |
| Upon the sunbeam sprinkled road | B |
| Lank in his hand a twig with which | J |
| In boyish thoughtlessness he crushed | B |
| Rare pennyroyal myriads rich | J |
| In pungent souls that warmly gushed | B |
| Before him whirled in rattling fear | K |
| The saffron bellied grasshopper | F |
| And ringing from the musky dells | L |
| Came faint the cows' melodious bells | L |
| Where whimp'ring like a fretful hound | B |
| The fountain bubbled up in sound | B |

| Yellow as sunset skies and pale | M |
| As fairy clouds that stay or sail | M |
| Thro' azure vaults of summer blue | N |
| As summer heavens the violets grew | N |
| And mosses on which spurts of light | B |
| Fell laughing like the lips one might | B |
| Feign for a Hebe or a girl | O |
| Whose mouth heat lightens up with pearl | O |
| Limp ferns in murmuring shadows shrunk | P |
| And silent as if stunned or drunk | P |
| With moist aromas of the wood | B |
| Dry rustlings of the quietude | B |
| On silver fronds' thin tresses new | N |
| Cold limpid blisters of the dew | N |
| Across the rambling fence she leaned | B |
| A gingham gown to ankles bare | Q |
| Her artless beauty bonnet screened | B |
| Tempestuous with its stormy hair | Q |
| A rain crow gurgled in a vine | R |
| She heard it not a step she hears | L |
| The wild rose smelt like delicate wine | R |
| She knew it not 'tis he that nears | L |
| With smiles of greeting all her face | L |
| Grew musical with rustic grace | L |
| He leant beside her and they had | B |
| Some parley with light laughter glad | B |
| I know not what I know but this | L |
| Its final period was a kiss | L |
