| Locust girdled on the hill | B |
| Stained with weather wear and dull | C |
| Streak'd with lichens every sill | B |
| Thresholding the beautiful | C |
| - | |
| I can see it standing there | D |
| Brown above the woodland deep | E |
| Wrapped in lights of lavender | F |
| By the warm wind rocked asleep | E |
| Violet shadows everywhere | D |
| - | |
| I remember how the Spring | G |
| Liberal lapped bewildered its | H |
| Acred orchards murmuring | G |
| Kissed to blossom budded bits | H |
| Where the wood thrush came to sing | G |
| - | |
| Barefoot Spring at first who trod | I |
| Like a beggermaid adown | J |
| The wet woodland where the god | I |
| With the bright sun for a crown | J |
| And the firmament for rod | I |
| - | |
| Met her clothed her wedded her | F |
| Her Cophetua when lo | K |
| All the hill one breathing blur | F |
| Burst in beauty gleam and glow | K |
| Blent with pearl and lavender | F |
| - | |
| Seckel blackheart palpitant | I |
| Rained their bleaching strays and white | I |
| Snowed the damson bent aslant | I |
| Rambow tree and romanite | I |
| Seemed beneath deep drifts to pant | I |
| - | |
| And it stood there brown and gray | L |
| In the bee boom and the bloom | M |
| In the shadow and the ray | L |
| In the passion and perfume | M |
| Grave as age among the gay | L |
| - | |
| Wild with laughter romped the clear | N |
| Boyish voices round its walls | O |
| Rare wild roses were the dear | N |
| Girlish faces in its halls | O |
| Music haunted all the year | N |
| - | |
| Far before it meadows full | P |
| Of green pennyroyal sank | Q |
| Clover dotted as with wool | P |
| Here and there with now a bank | Q |
| Hot of color and the cool | A |
| - | |
| Dark blue shadows unconfined | I |
| Of the clouds rolled overhead | I |
| Clouds from which the summer wind | I |
| Blew with rain and freshly shed | I |
| Dew upon the flowerkind | I |
| - | |
| Where through mint and gypsy lily | R |
| Runs the rocky brook away | L |
| Musical among the hilly | R |
| Solitudes its flashing spray | L |
| Sunlight dashed or forest stilly | R |
| - | |
| Buried in deep sassafras | S |
| Memory follows up the hill | R |
| Still some cowbell's mellow brass | S |
| Where the ruined water mill | R |
| Looms half hid in cane and grass | S |
| - | |
| Oh the farmhouse is it set | I |
| On the hilltop still 'mid musk | T |
| Of the meads where violet | I |
| Deepens all the dreaming dusk | T |
| And the locust trees hang wet | I |
| - | |
| While the sunset far and low | R |
| On its westward windows dashes | U |
| Primrose or pomegranate glow | R |
| And above in glimmering splashes | V |
| Lilac stars the heavens sow | W |
| - | |
| Sleeps it still among its roses | U |
| Oldtime roses while the choir | F |
| Of the lonesome insects dozes | U |
| And the white moon drifting higher | F |
| O'er its mossy roof reposes | U |
| Sleeps it still among its roses | U |
