| Shadows of the October pine | G |
| Reach into this room of mine | G |
| On the pine there stands a bird | H |
| He is shadowed with the tree | I |
| Mutely perched he bills no word | H |
| Blank as I am even is he | I |
| For those happy suns are past | J |
| Fore discerned in winter last | J |
| When went by their pleasure then | K |
| I alas perceived not when | K |
