| Mixed fervors of snow and of fire | C |
| Her lips are the red | D |
| Of a rose that is wed | D |

| Blue glimpses of Paradise | F |
| The strands of her hair | G |
| Are sunlight and air | G |

| If Herrick had looked on her face | B |
| His lyrics had learned a new grace | B |

| Her words they are birds that are heard | D |
| Singing low where the roses are stirred | D |
| The buds of her lips | J |
| Whence each of them slips | J |
| With music as soft as the fragrance that drips | J |
| From a dew dreaming bloom | K |
| With their sound and perfume | K |
| Making all my glad heart a love haunted room | K |

| For whom all my soul | N |
| Is a harp from which roll | N |
| The songs that she hears not the voice of my love | L |
| This girl who goes singing above | L |
