| Twice a day at the morning hour | C |
| And again when the lights of sunset flower | C |
| Its pavements ring to the footfall noise | D |
| Of men and women and girls and boys | D |
| Townward sprightly of foot they go | E |
| Home they come in the evening glow | E |
| Labours over and questing done | F |
| Some with money and some with none | F |
| Most hours through from morn to night | G |
| It dreams and dreams in the drowsy light | G |
| No call is there of the huckster clan | H |
| Of the bottle oh and the rabbit man | H |
| Wafted odours of nameless flowers | I |
| Perfume the march of the golden hours | I |
| Under the laurels cooling the eye | J |
| Pools of shade in the sunshine lie | J |
| All day long and night long too | K |

| Twice or thrice in the stirless trance | T |
| Stilling his feet he paused to glance | T |
| Over the way to the vine clad gate | U |
| Where the laurels droop and the poppies wait | U |
| Rogue and robber and fool I swear | V |
| Love was the plunder that brought him there | V |
| Love that laughed through a curtain of green | W |
| Watching his tricks the while I ween | W |

| For bolt and bar on her heart had she | Y |
| She who lives in the Doric house | Z |
| Secret and shy as a little mouse | Z |
| Dainty and dear from head to feet | P |
| Pansy Princess of Garden Street | P |
