| Things unseen have life and motion | L |
| And they haunt the moonlit forest | F |
| Soul affronting haunt the forest | F |
| And men meet them on the ocean | L |
| - | |
| She will look so grave and kind | M |
| Saying Rest | D |
| Rest is here for heart and mind | M |
| On this breast | D |
| Put aside all | N |
| Fancies idle | O |
| I will shield you Love is best | D |
