| I bent to my toil till the gray | J |
| When I said to myself 'Ah what ails me | K |
| To forget him all the day ' | - |

| As daily I flung back the shutter | I |
| In the same blank bald routine | L |
| He scarcely once rose to remembrance | M |
| Through a month of my facing the scene | L |
| - | |
| - | |
| And ah seldom now do I ponder | I |
| At the window as heretofore | N |
| On the long valued one who died yonder | I |
| And wastes by the sycamore | N |
