| To stony pastures where the weed | B |
| Purples its plume or sails its seed | B |
| And from one knoll the vetch makes green | C |
| Trailing its glimmering ribbon on | D |
| Under deep boughs a creek is seen | C |
| Flecked with the silver of the dawn | E |
| - | |
| An old green lane where can it go | F |
| Into the valley land below | F |
| Where red the wilding lilies blow | F |
| Where under willows shadowy grey | G |
| The blue crane wades the heron glides | H |
| And in each pool the minnows sway | G |
| Twinkling their slim and silvery sides | H |
| - | |
| An old railed lane where does it end | I |
| Beyond the log bridge at the bend | I |
| Towards which our young feet used to wend | I |
| Where 'neath a dappled sycamore | J |
| The old mill thrashed its foaming wheel | K |
| And smiling at its corn strewn door | J |
| The miller leant all white with meal | K |
| - | |
| An old wild lane I know it well | L |
| The creek the bridge across the dell | L |
| The old house on the orchard swell | L |
| The pine board porch above the creek | M |
| Where oft we used to sit and dream | N |
| Two children fair of hair and cheek | M |
| Dropping our flowers in the stream | N |
| - | |
| An old old lane I follow it | O |
| In fancy and where branches knit | O |
| Behold a boy and girl who sit | O |
| Beside the mill dam near the mill | P |
| Or in a flat boat old and worn | Q |
| Oar lilyward I see them still | P |
| Her dress is rent his trousers torn | Q |
| - | |
| An old lost lane Come let us find | R |
| As here I have it in my mind | R |
| As boyhood left it far behind | R |
| Yes let us follow it again | S |
| And meet her wild of foot and hair | T |
| The tomboy sweet as sun and rain | U |
| Whom once we worshipped to despair | T |
