| Deep in a hidden lane we were | M |
| My little love and I | A |
| When lo as we stood kissing there | L |
| A flower against the sky | A |

| Frail as a tear its beauty hung | N |
| O spare it little hand | K |
| But innocence like its alas | F |
| Desire may not withstand | K |
| - | |
| And so I clambered up the bank | O |
| And threw the blossom down | P |
| But we were sadder for its sake | Q |
| As we walked back to town | P |
