| NOON | B |

| The tanned and sultry noon climbs high | A |
| Up gleaming reaches of the sky | A |
| Below the balmy belts of pines | C |
| The cliff lunged river laps and shines | C |
| Adown the aromatic dell | D |
| Sifts the warm harvest's musky smell | D |
| And oh above one sees and hears | E |
| The brawny throated harvesters | F |
| Their red brows beaded with the heat | G |
| By twos and threes among the wheat | G |
| Flash their hot sickles' slenderness | F |
| In loops of shine and sing and sing | H |
| Like some mad troop of piping Pan | I |
| Along the hills that swoon or ring | H |
| With sounds of Ariel airiness | F |
| That haunted freckled Caliban | I |
| - | |
| O ho O ho 'tis noon I say | F |
| The roses blow | J |
| Away away above the hay | F |
| The burly bees to the roses gay | F |
| Hum love tunes all the livelong day | F |
| So low so low | J |
| The roses' Minnesingers they | F |

| TWILIGHT | K |
| - | |
| Up velvet lawns of lilac skies | F |
| The tawny moon begins to rise | F |
| Behind low blue black hills of trees | F |
| As rises from faint Siren seas | F |
| To rock in purple deeps hip hid | L |
| A virgin bosom'd Oceanid | L |
| Gaunt shadows crouch by rock and wood | L |
| Like hairy Satyrs grim and rude | L |
| Till the white Dryads of the moon | I |
| Come noiseless in their silver shoon | I |
| To beautify them with their love | M |
| The sweet sad notes I hear I hear | N |
| Beyond dim pines and mellow hills | F |
| Of some fair maiden harvester | O |
| The lovely Limnad of the grove | P |
| Whose singing charms me while it kills | F |
| - | |
| O deep O deep the twilight rare | Q |
| Pales on to sleep | R |
| And fair so fair fades the rich air | Q |
| The fountain shines in its ferny lair | Q |
| Where the cold Nymph sits in her oozy hair | Q |
| To weep to weep | R |
| For a mortal youth who is not there | Q |
