| The brown leaf flutters where the green leaf died | E |
| Bare are the boughs and bleak the forest side | E |

| Gaunt as a life that lives alone with grief | F |
| So doth the hope go and despair abide | E |
| - | |
| An empty nest hangs where the wood bird pled | G |
| Along the west the dusk dies stormy red | G |

| Leave go my hands Fain would I walk alone | L |
| The easy ways of silence and of sleep | M |
| What though I go with eyes that cannot weep | M |
| And lips contracted with no uttered moan | L |
| Through rocks and thorns where every footprint bleeds | N |
| A dead sea path of desert night that leads | N |
| To one white stone | L |
| - | |
| Though sands be black and bitter black the sea | O |
| Night lie before me and behind me night | P |
| And God within far Heaven refuse to light | P |
| The consolation of the dawn for me | O |
| Between the shadowy bournes of Heaven and Hell | Q |
| It is enough love leaves my soul to dwell | Q |
| With memory | O |
