| And the daft sun assaulter he | B |
| That frightened thee so oft is fled or dead | C |
| Save only me | B |
| Nor is it sad to thee | B |
| Save only me | B |
| There is none left to mourn thee in the fields | D |
| - | |
| The gray grass is scarce dappled with the snow | E |
| Its two banks have not shut upon the river | F |
| But it is long ago | E |
| It seems forever | F |
| Since first I saw thee glance | G |
| WIth all thy dazzling other ones | H |
| In airy dalliance | I |
| Precipitate in love | J |
| Tossed tangled whirled and whirled above | J |
| Like a linp rose wreath in a fairy dance | G |
| - | |
| When that was the soft mist | K |
| Of my regret hung not on all the land | L |
| And I was glad for thee | B |
| And glad for me I wist | K |
| - | |
| Thou didst not know who tottered wandering on high | M |
| That fate had made thee for the pleasure of the wind | N |
| With those great careless wings | O |
| Nor yet did I | M |
| - | |
| And there were othe rthings | O |
| It seemed God let thee flutter from his gentle clasp | P |
| Then fearful he had let thee win | Q |
| Too far beyond him to be gathered in | Q |
| Santched thee o'ereager with ungentle gasp | P |
| - | |
| Ah I remember me | B |
| How once conspiracy was rife | R |
| Against my life | R |
| The languor of it and the dreaming fond | S |
| Surging the grasses dizzied me of thought | T |
| The breeze three odors brought | T |
| And a gem flower waved in a wand | S |
| - | |
| Then when I was distraught | T |
| And could not speak | U |
| Sidelong full on my cheek | U |
| What should that reckless zephyr fling | V |
| But the wild touch of thy dye dusty wing | V |
| - | |
| I found that wing broken today | W |
| For thou art dead I said | C |
| And the strang birds say | W |
| I found it with the withered leaves | O |
| Under the eaves | O |
