| Through the ash tops yonder | B |
| Bullfinch bubblings soft sounds suiting | A |
| What sweet thoughts I wonder | B |
| Fine pearled notes that surely | C |
| Gather dewdrop fashion | D |
| Deep down in some heart which purely | C |
| Secretes globuled passion | D |
| Passion insuppressive | E |
| Such is piped for certain | D |
| Love no doubt nay love excessive | E |
| 'Tis your ash tops curtain | D |
| - | |
| Would your ash tops open | D |
| We might spy the player | B |
| Seek and find some sense which no pen | F |
| Yet from singer sayer | B |
| Ever has extracted | G |
| Never to my knowledge | H |
| Yet has pedantry enacted | I |
| That in Cupid's College | J |
| Just this variation | D |
| Of the old old yearning | A |
| Should by plain speech have salvation | D |
| Yield new men new learning | A |
| - | |
| Love but what love nicely | C |
| New from old disparted | I |
| Would the player teach precisely | C |
| First of all be started | I |
| In my brain Assurance | K |
| Trust entire Contentment | I |
| Passion proved by much endurance | K |
| Then came not resentment | I |
| No but simply Sorrow | L |
| What was seen had vanished | I |
| Yesterday so blue To morrow | L |
| Blank all sunshine banished | I |
| - | |
| Hark 'Tis Hope resurges | K |
| Struggling through obstruction | D |
| Forces a poor smile which verges | K |
| On joy's introduction | D |
| Now perhaps mere Musing | A |
| Holds earth such a wonder | B |
| Fairy mortal soul sense fusing | A |
| Past thought's power to sunder | B |
| What calm Acquiescence | K |
| Daisied turf gives room to | I |
| Trefoil plucked once in her presence | K |
| Growing by her tomb too | I |
| - | |
| She All's your fancy spinning | A |
| Here's the fact a neighbor | B |
| Never ending still beginning | A |
| Recreates his labor | B |
| Deep o'er desk he drudges | K |
| Adds divides subtracts and | I |
| Multiplies until he judges | K |
| Noonday hour's exact sand | I |
| Shows the hour glass emptied | I |
| Then comes lawful leisure | B |
| Minutes rare from toil exempted | I |
| Fit to spend in pleasure | B |
| - | |
| Out then with what treatise | K |
| Youth's Complete Instructor | B |
| How to play the Flute Quid petis | K |
| Follow Youth's conductor | B |
| On and on through Easy | K |
| Up to Harder Hardest | I |
| Flute piece till thou flautist wheezy | K |
| Possibly discardest | I |
| Tootlings hoarse and husky | K |
| Mayst expend with courage | H |
| Breath on tunes once bright now dusky | K |
| Meant to cool thy porridge | H |
| - | |
| That's an air of Tulou's | K |
| He maltreats persistent | I |
| Till as lief I'd hear some Zulu's | K |
| Bone piped bag breath distent | I |
| Madden native dances | K |
| I'm the man's familiar | B |
| Unexpectedness enhances | K |
| What your ear's auxiliar | B |
| Fancy finds suggestive | E |
| Listen That's legato | I |
| Rightly played his fingers restive | E |
| Touch as if staccato | I |
| - | |
| He Ah you trick betrayer | B |
| Telling tales unwise one | D |
| So the secret of the player | B |
| Was he could surprise one | D |
| Well nigh into trusting | K |
| Here was a musician | D |
| Skilled consummately yet lusting | K |
| Through no vile ambition | D |
| After making captive | E |
| All the world rewarded | I |
| Amply by one stranger's rapture | B |
| Common praise discarded | I |
| - | |
| So without assistance | K |
| Such as music rightly | K |
| Needs and claims defying distance | K |
| Overleaping lightly | K |
| Obstacles which hinder | B |
| He for my approval | M |
| - | |
| All the same and all the kinder | B |
| Made mine what might move all | N |
| Earth to kneel adoring | K |
| Took while he piped Gounod's | K |
| Bit of passionate imploring | K |
| Me for Juliet who knows | K |
| - | |
| No as you explain things | K |
| All's mere repetition | D |
| Practise pother of all vain things | K |
| Why waste pooh or pish on | O |
| Toilsome effort never | B |
| Ending still beginning | K |
| After what should pay endeavor | B |
| Right performance winning | K |
| Weariness from you who | I |
| Ready to admire some | P |
| Owl's fresh hooting Tu whit to who | I |
| Find stale thrush songs tiresome | P |
| - | |
| She Songs Spring thought perfection | D |
| Summer criticises | K |
| What in May escaped detection | D |
| August past surprises | K |
| Notes and names each blunder | B |
| You the just initiate | I |
| Praise to heart's content what wonder | B |
| Tootings I hear vitiate | I |
| Romeo's serenading | K |
| I who times full twenty | I |
| Turned to ice no ash tops aiding | K |
| At his caldamente | I |
| - | |
| So 'twas distance altered | I |
| Sharps to flats The missing | K |
| Bar when syncopation faltered | I |
| You thought paused for kissing | K |
| Ash tops too felonious | K |
| Intercepted Rather | B |
| Say they well nigh made euphonious | K |
| Discord helped to gather | B |
| Phrase by phrase turn patches | K |
| Into simulated | I |
| Unity which botching matches | K |
| Scraps redintegrated | I |
| - | |
| He Sweet are you suggestive | E |
| Of an old suspicion | D |
| Which has always found me restive | E |
| To its admonition | D |
| When it ventured whisper | B |
| Fool the strifes and struggles | K |
| Of your trembler blusher lisper | B |
| Were so many juggles | K |
| Tricks tried oh so often | D |
| Which once more do duty | I |
| Find again a heart to soften | D |
| Soul to snare with beauty | I |
| - | |
| Birth blush of the briar rose | K |
| Mist bloom of the hedge sloe | I |
| Some one gainst the prize admire rose | K |
| Would he when noon's wedge slow | I |
| Sure has pushed expanded | I |
| Rathe pink to raw redness | K |
| Would he covet sloe when sanded | I |
| By road dust to deadness | K |
| So restore their value | I |
| Ply a water sprinkle | M |
| Then guess sloe is fingered shall you | I |
| Find in rose a wrinkle | M |
| - | |
| Here what played Aquarius | K |
| Distance ash tops aiding | K |
| Reconciled scraps else contrarious | K |
| Brightened stuff fast fading | K |
| Distance call your shyness | K |
| Was the fair one peevish | Q |
| Coyness softened out of slyness | K |
| Was she cunning thievish | Q |
| All but proved impostor | B |
| Bear but one day's exile | R |
| Ugly traits were wholly lost or | B |
| Screened by fancies flexile | R |
| - | |
| Ash tops these you take me | I |
| Fancies' interference | K |
| Changed | I |
| But since I sleep don't wake me | I |
| What if all's appearance | K |
| Is not outside seeming | K |
| Real as substance inside | I |
| Both are facts so leave me dreaming | K |
| If who loses wins I'd | I |
| Ever lose conjecture | B |
| From one phrase trilled deftly | I |
| All the piece So end your lecture | B |
| Let who lied be left lie | R |
