| Golden and green and grey | B |
| Crimson and scarlet and yellow | C |
| The Autumn foliage lay | B |
| The sun of the Indian Summer | D |
| Laughed at the bare old trees | E |
| As they shook their leafless branches | F |
| In the soft October breeze | E |
| - | |
| Gorgeous was every hill side | G |
| And gorgeous every nook | H |
| And the dry old log was gorgeous | I |
| Spanning the little brook | H |
| Its holiday robes the forest | J |
| Had suddenly cast to earth | K |
| And as yet seemed scarce to miss them | L |
| In its plenitude of mirth | K |
| - | |
| I walked where the leaves the softest | J |
| The brightest and goldenest lay | B |
| And I thought of a forest hill side | G |
| And an Indian Summer day | B |
| Of an eager little child face | M |
| O'er the fallen leaves that bent | N |
| As she gathered her cup of beech nuts | O |
| With innocent content | N |
| - | |
| I thought of the small brown fingers | P |
| Gleaning them one by one | Q |
| With the partridge drumming near her | D |
| In the forest bare and dun | Q |
| And the jet black squirrel winking | R |
| His saucy jealous eye | S |
| At those tiny pilfering fingers | P |
| From his sly nook up on high | S |
| - | |
| Ah barefooted little maiden | Q |
| With thy bonnetless sun burnt brow | T |
| Thou glean'st no more on the hill side | G |
| Where art thou gleaning now | T |
| I knew by the lifted glances | U |
| Of thy dark imperious eye | S |
| That the tall trees bending o'er thee | V |
| Would not shelter thee by and by | S |
| - | |
| The cottage by the brookside | G |
| With its mossy roof is gone | W |
| The cattle have left the uplands | X |
| The young lambs left the lawn | W |
| Gone are thy blue eyed sister | D |
| And thy brother's laughing brow | T |
| And the beech nuts He ungathered | G |
| On the lonely hill side now | T |
| - | |
| What have the returning seasons | Y |
| Brought to thy heart since then | Z |
| In thy long and weary wand'rings | A2 |
| In the paths of busy men | Z |
| Has the Angel of grief or of gladness | A2 |
| Set his seal upon thy brow | T |
| Maiden joyous or tearful | A |
| Where art thou gleaning now | T |
