| Her wing in silver streams and set | I |
| Shining foot on temple roof | J |
| Now again she flies aloof | J |
| Coasting mountain clouds and kiss't | G |
| By the evening's amethyst | K |
| - | |
| In wet wood and miry lane | L |
| Still we pant and pound in vain | L |
| Still with leaden foot we chase | E |
| Waning pinion fainting face | E |
| Still with gray hair we stumble on | M |
| Till behold the vision gone | N |
| Where hath fleeting beauty led | O |
| To the doorway of the dead | O |
| Life is over life was gay | P |
| We have come the primrose way | P |
