| Looking forward to the spring | B |
| One puts up with anything | B |
| On this February day | C |
| Though the winds leap down the street | D |
| Wintry scourgings seem but play | C |
| And these later shafts of sleet | D |
| Sharper pointed than the first | E |
| And these later snows the worst | E |
| Are as a half transparent blind | F |
| Riddled by rays from sun behind | F |

| 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 |
