| Quietly fall | B |
| Memory is a little wind and magical | C |
| The dreaming hours | D |
| As a breath they fall as a sigh | E |
| Green garden hours too langorous to waken | F |
| White leaves of blossomy tree wind shaken | F |
| As a breath a sigh | E |
| As the slow white drift | G |
| Of a butterfly | E |
| Flower wings falling wings of branches | H |
| One after one at wind's droop dipping | I |
| Then with the lift | G |
| Of the air's soft breath in sudden avalanches | J |
| Slipping | I |
| Quietly quietly the June wind flings | K |
| White wings | K |
| White petals past the footpath flowers | D |
| Adown my dreaming hours | D |
| At the heart at the heart the butterfly settles | A |
| As a breath a sigh | E |
| Fall the petals of hours of the white leafed flowers | D |
| Fall the petalled wings of the butterfly | E |
| To my heart to my heart the white petals | A |
| Quietly fall | B |

| To the years other years old and wistful | C |
| Drifts my dream | L |
| Petal patined the dream white mistful | C |
| As the dew sweet haunt of the dim whitebeam | L |
| Because of memory a little wind | M |
| It is the gossamer float of the butterfly | C |
| This drift of dream | L |
| From the sweet of to day to the sweet | N |
| Of days long drifted by | C |
| It is the drift of the butterfly it is the fleet | N |
| Drift of petals which my noon has thinned | O |
| It is the ebbing out of my life of the petals of days | P |
| To the years other years drifts my dream | L |
| Through the haze | P |
| Of summers long ago | Q |
| Love's entrancements flow | Q |
| A blue green pageant of earth | R |
| A green blue pageant of sky | C |
| As a stream | L |
| Flooding back with lovely delta to my heart | S |
| Lo the petalled leafage is finer under the feet | N |
| The coarse soil with a rainbow's worth | R |
| Of delicate colours lies enamelled | N |
| Translucently glowing shining | I |
| Each balmy breath of the hours | D |
| From eastern gleam to westward gloam | L |
| Is meaning full as the falling flowers | D |
| It is a crystal syllable | C |
| For love's defining | I |
| It is love alone can spell | C |
| Yea Love remains after this drift of days | P |
| Love is here Love is not dumb | L |
| The touch of a silken hand comradely untrammelled | N |
| Is in the sunlight a bright glance | T |
| On every ripple of yonder waterways | P |
| A whisper in the dance | T |
| Of green shadows | U |
| Nor shall the sunlight be shut out even from the dark | V |
| - | |
| Beyond the garden heavy oaks are buoyant on the meadows | U |
| Their rugged bark | V |
| No longer rough | W |
| But chastened and refined in the glowing eyes of Love | X |
| Around us the petals fulfil | C |
| Their measure and fall precious the petals are still | C |
| For Love they once were gathered they are gathered for Love again | Y |
| Whose glance is on the water | Z |
| Whose whisper is in the green shadows | U |
| In the same comrade hand whose touch is in the sunlight | N |
| They are lying again | Y |
| Here Love is Love only of all things outstays | U |
| The drift of petals the drift of days | U |
| Petals of hours | U |
| Of white leafed flowers | U |
| Petalled wings of the butterfly | C |
| Drifting quietly drifting by | C |
| As a breath a sigh | C |
