| Thus on mine arm most soothing sweet it is | B |
| To sit beside our cot our cot o'ergrown | C |
| With white flowered jasmine and the broad leaved myrtle | D |
| Meet emblems they of innocence and love | E |
| And watch the clouds that late were rich with light | F |
| Slow sad'ning round and mark the star of eve | G |
| Serenely brilliant such should wisdom be | H |
| Shine opposite How exquisite the scents | I |
| Snatched from yon bean field And the world so hushed | J |
| The stilly murmur of the distant sea | H |
| Tells us of silence And that simplest lute | K |
| Placed lengthways in the clasping casement hark | L |
| How by desultory breeze caressed | M |
| Like some coy maid half yielding to her lover | N |
| It pours such sweet upbraidings as must needs | O |
| Tempt to repeat the wrong And now its strings | P |
| Boldlier swept the long sequacious notes | Q |
| Over delicious surges sink and rise | R |
| Such a soft floating witchery of sound | S |
| As twilight elfins make when they at eve | G |
| Voyage on gentle gales from fairyland | T |
| Where melodies round honey dropping flowers | U |
| Footless and wild like birds of paradise | V |
| Nor pause nor perch hov'ring on untamed wing | W |
| And thus my love as on the midway slope | X |
| Of yonder hill I stretch my limbs at noon | C |
| Whilst through my half closed eyelids I behold | Y |
| The sunbeams dance like diamonds on the main | C |
| And tranquil muse upon tranquility | H |
| Full many a thought uncalled and undetained | H |
| And many idle flitting fantasies | Z |
| Traverse my indolent and passive brain | C |
| As wild and various as the random gales | A2 |
| That swell and flutter on this subject lute | H |
| And what if all of animated nature | N |
| Be but organic harps diversely framed | H |
| That tremble into thought as o'er them sweeps | B2 |
| Plastic and vast one intellectual breeze | Z |
| At once the soul of each and God of all | C2 |
| But thy more serious eye a mild reproof | G |
| Darts oh beloved woman nor such thoughts | D2 |
| Dim and unhallowed dost thou not reject | H |
| And biddest me walk humbly with my God | H |
| Meek daughter in the family of Christ | H |
| Well hast thou said and holily dispraised | H |
| These shapings of the unregenerate mind | H |
| Bubbles that glitter as they rise and break | E2 |
| On vain philosophy's aye babbling spring | W |
| For never guiltless may I speak of Him | F2 |
| Th'Incomprehensible save when with awe | G2 |
| I praise him and with faith that inly feels | H2 |
| I praise him and with faith that inly feels | H2 |
| Who with his saving mercies healed me | H |
| A sinful and most miserable man | C |
| Wildered and dark and gave me to possess | I2 |
| Peace and this cot and the heart honoured maid | H |
