| Seventy Thundering Horses | C |
| Slow through the traffic my horses It is enough it is France | D |

| Whether the broken honey hued honey combed limestone | I |
| Cream under white hot sun the rosemary bee bloom | G |
| Sleepily noisy at noon and somewhere to Southward | M |
| Sleepily noisy the Sea | D |
| Tes it is warm here my horses It is enough it is France | D |
| - | |
| Whether the Massif in Spring the multiplied lacets | D |
| Hampered by slips or drifts the gentians under | B |
| Turbaned snow pushing up the heaven of Summer | B |
| Though the stark moors lie black | N |
| Neigh through the icicled tunnels 'It is enough it is France ' | - |
