| I DREAMED of forest alleys fair | B |
| And fields of gray flowered grass | C |
| Where by the yellow summer moon | D |
| My Jenny seemed to pass | C |
| - | |
| I dreamed the yellow summer moon | D |
| Behind a cedar wood | E |
| Lay white on fields of rippling grass | C |
| Where I and Jenny stood | E |

| In a rainy land I lie | A |
| Where wan wet morning crowns the hills | G |
| Of grim reality | H |

| I am as one that keeps awake | I |
| All night in the month of June | D |
| That lies awake in bed to watch | J |
| The trees and great white moon | D |
| - | |
| For memories of love are more | K |
| Than the white moon there above | L |
| And dearer than quiet moonshine | M |
| Are the thoughts of her I love | L |

| Last night I lingered long without | N |
| My last of loves to see | H |
| Alas the moon white window panes | O |
| Stared blindly back on me | H |
| - | |
| To day I hold her very hand | P |
| Her very waist embrace | Q |
| Like clouds across a pool I read | R |
| Her thoughts upon her face | Q |
| - | |
| And yet as now through her clear eyes | S |
| I seek the inner shrine | M |
| I stoop to read her virgin heart | T |
| In doubt if it be mine | M |
| - | |
| O looking long and fondly thus | U |
| What vision should I see | H |
| No vision but my own white face | Q |
| That grins and mimics me | H |

| IV | L |
| - | |
| Once more upon the same old seat | V |
| In the same sunshiny weather | W |
| The elm trees' shadows at their feet | V |
| And foliage move together | W |
| - | |
| The shadows shift upon the grass | C |
| The dial point creeps on | X |
| The clear sun shines the loiterers pass | C |
| As then they passed and shone | Y |
| - | |
| But now deep sleep is on my heart | T |
| Deep sleep and perfect rest | Z |
| Hope's flutterings now disturb no more | K |
| The quiet of my breast | Z |
