| All that my Greeting gave | B |
| In you hath Hope her doom and Joy her grave | B |
| Still you go crowned with old imaginings | C |
| Clad in the purple that young passion flings | C |
| About the sorriest god that Love can make | A |
| - | |
| Ah would you might forget and so pass by | D |
| Unwounded of my kiss | C |
| Made free of Youth's unmemorable bliss | C |
| Love's hand that speeds along his daisy chain | E |
| Forgets in swift delight to tell again | F |
| Old prayers upon a new strung rosary | G |
| - | |
| For when I part from you I would not leave | H |
| One shadow that might be | G |
| A ghost to haunt you what you had of me | G |
| I would fold by in Memory's lavender | I |
| Something my breath may very gently stir | I |
| In the slow fading of a rainy eve | H |
| - | |
| When you drop cherries in the purple wine | J |
| For other lips to drain | E |
| Let not old nights betrayed leap up again | F |
| Throw down no murdering chalice at your feast | K |
| To night nor find another woman's breast | L |
| Less lovely with the sudden dream of mine | J |
| - | |
| Yet if a stranger bear my name or one | M |
| With the same coloured eyes | C |
| Glance at you suddenly lost dreams shall rise | C |
| With unintelligible swift appeals | C |
| The broken images of old ideals | C |
| Shall stare from corners where as gods they shone | N |
| - | |
| Farewell is on the lips of the first kiss | C |
| But speaks no word until | O |
| The loud voice of Desire hath had its will | O |
| Greeting is swift and beautiful Farewell | P |
| Is slow and patient and immutable | Q |
| Knowing of old that love must lead to this | C |
| - | |
| Greeting Farewell The day's grown very old | R |
| My heart put out the light | S |
| Read no more pages of the Past to night | S |
| There are no roses here to miss the sun | M |
| A soul hath looked on love and he hath flown | N |
| Ashes are on the wind the tale is told | R |
