| The sun less hot looks from a sky more clear | B |
| The roses in their sleepy loveliness | C |
| Nod to the cradling wind The atmosphere | B |
| Enfolds us with a sister's tenderness | C |
| - | |
| For once hath Nature left the splendid throne | D |
| Of her indifference and through the mild | E |
| Sun gilded air of Autumn clement grown | D |
| Descends to man her proud revolted child | E |
| - | |
| She takes to wipe the tears upon our face | C |
| Her azure mantle sown with many a star | F |
| And her eternal soul her deathless grace | C |
| Strengthen and calm the weak heart that we are | F |
| - | |
| The waving of the boughs the lengthened line | G |
| Of the horizon full of dreamy hues | C |
| And scattered songs all sing it sail or shine | G |
| To day consoles delivers Let us muse | C |

| II | A |
| So then this book is closed Dear Fancies mine | G |
| That streaked my grey sky with your wings of light | H |
| And passing fanned my burning brow benign | G |
| Return return to your blue Infinite | I |

| Thou ringing Rhyme thou Verse that smooth didst glide | J |
| Ye throbbing Rhythms ye musical Refrains | C |
| And Memories and Dreams and ye beside | J |
| Fair Figures called to life with anxious pains | C |
| - | |
| We needs must part Until the happier day | K |
| When Art our Lord his thralls shall re unite | H |
| Companions sweet Farewell and Wellaway | L |
| Fly home ye may to your blue Infinite | I |
| - | |
| And true it is we spared not breath or force | C |
| And our good pleasure like foaming steed | M |
| Blind with the madness of his earliest course | C |
| Of rest within the quiet shade hath need | M |
| - | |
| For always have we held thee Poesy | C |
| To be our Goddess mighty and august | N |
| Our only passion Mother calling thee | O |
| And holding Inspiration in mistrust | N |

| Egeria with the lightsome eyes profound | Q |
| Sudden Erato Genius quick to grant | R |

| Thick as some dusty yellow roadside weed | M |
| A gardenful of poems none did sow | C |

| Dove Holy Ghost Delirium Sacred Fire | T |
| Transporting Passion seasonable queen | U |

| What we have need of we the Poets True | W |
| That not believe in Gods and yet revere | B |
| That have no halo hold no golden clue | W |
| For whom no Beatrix leaves her radiant sphere | B |
| - | |
| We that do chisel words like chalices | C |
| And moving verses shape with unmoved mind | X |
| Whom wandering in groups by evening seas | C |
| In musical converse ye scarce shall find | X |
| - | |
| What we need is in midnight hours dim lit | Y |
| Sleep daunted knowledge earned more knowledge still | Z |
| Is Faust's brow of the wood cuts sternly knit | Y |
| Is stubborn Perseverance and is Will | Z |
| - | |
| Is Will eternal holy absolute | A2 |
| That grasps as doth a noble bird of prey | K |
| The steaming flanks of the foredoomed brute | A2 |
| Its project and with it skyward away | K |
| - | |
| What we need we is fixedness intense | C |
| Unequalled effort strife that shall not cease | C |
| Is night the bitter night of labor whence | C |
| Arises sun like slow the Master piece | C |
| - | |
| Let our Inspired hearts by an eye shot tined | A2 |
| Sway with the birch tree to all winds that blow | S |
| Poor things Art knows not the divided mind | A2 |
| Speak Milo's Venus is she stone or no | S |
| - | |
| We therefore carve we with the chisel Thought | A2 |
| The pure block of the Beautiful and gain | B2 |
| From out the marble cold where it was not | A2 |
| Some starry chitoned statue without stain | B2 |
| - | |
| That one far day Posterity new Morn | C2 |
| Enkindling with a golden rosy flame | D2 |
| Our Work new Memnon shall to ears unborn | C2 |
| Make quiver in the singing air our name | D2 |
