| Of peaks the barriers of the world | B |
| Around whose tops the Northern Lights | A |
| And tempests are unfurled | B |

| The butterfly spreads damask wings | H |
| And under grassy loam and rock | G |
| The cottage cricket sings | H |

| In which the new moon bends her bow | J |

| While dreams still share my humble roof | Q |
| And love makes sweet my crust | R |
