| Among the white haw blossoms where the creek | B |
| Droned under drifts of dogwood and of haw | C |
| The redbird like a crimson blossom blown | D |
| Against the snow white bosom of the Spring | E |
| The chaste confusion of her lawny breast | F |
| Sang on prophetic of serener days | G |
| As confident as June's completer hours | H |
| And I stood listening like a hind who hears | I |
| A wood nymph breathing in a forest flute | J |
