| The sward is young and new | B |
| The sod there shapes a different mass | C |
| The random trees stand other than I knew | B |
| No here the Past has left no residue | B |
| No aftermath | D |
| By a new path | D |
| The workmen homeward in the city twilight pass | C |
| - | |
| Yet was this willow here | E |
| It hung as now its olive skeins aloft | F |
| Into the sky then blue and clear | G |
| And yonder pair of poplar trees | H |
| - | |
| Rose also soft | I |
| And sibilant in the glory of the breeze | H |
| It's early dark One scarce distinguishes | J |
| Their sullen feathering in the autumn sky | K |
| 'Tis warm and still | L |
| Dull o'er the town the vapours lie | K |
| Innumerable | M |
| And dodging the uncertain stare | N |
| The small shrewd lampions dot the air | N |
| - | |
| Many like me | O |
| Loiter perhaps as I in after years | P |
| As looking here to see | O |
| Some vestige of the living that was theirs | Q |
| Some trace of yesterday | R |
| Somae hint or remnant echo clue some thing | S |
| Some very little thing of what was they | R |
| Sure such are near Else were it not so still | L |
| This evening | S |
| So human still and warm and kind | T |
| 'Tis as of many moved | U |
| In unison of will and mind to sing | S |
| Low litanies to that which they had wholly loved | V |
| How sweet it is | J |
| Under the perishable trees | H |
| To hear the wings of the one human soul | W |
| Fluttering up | X |
| In Time's dark branches to the lucid stars | Y |
| More than Despair is Hope | Z |
| And more than Hope is the Hope that despairs | Q |
| And more than all | A2 |
| Is Love that disbelieves the real years | P |
| - | |
| Here in this place | B2 |
| One August morning when the earlier crowd | C2 |
| Showmen or populace | D2 |
| From many a region and of curious face | B2 |
| Abroad the holiday | R |
| Quaint in the sun with garb and gesture glowed | E2 |
| And speaking grave or gay | R |
| The various accent of their lonely race | B2 |
| Between the shadowy gold bazars idled away | R |
| She as a cloud | C2 |
| All sunrise coloured and alone | F2 |
| Thro' the blue summer tremblin came to me | O |
| I dried her tears and here we sat us down | G2 |
| Little by little as tripping oversea | O |
| On flame tipped waves the daylight's long surprise | H2 |
| Sweeps world and heaven in one | I2 |
| So love across our eyes | H2 |
| Broke with the sun | I2 |
| Happy we walked away The fairy sight | J2 |
| Untangling shook a thousand chequered fires | K2 |
| Low under scarlet awnings rung on rung | L2 |
| Copper and bronze and azurite | J2 |
| Ranged on the sagging wires | K2 |
| The trifles clinked in the red light | J2 |
| From beam and niche vendors in strange attires | K2 |
| Slipping dark hands along | M2 |
| Unhooked the quiet wool the gaudy chintz | K2 |
| Or precious where it hung | L2 |
| Long fluid jewels of auroral silk | N2 |
| And dryly to the sense | K2 |
| Their attars old and dusty powders clung | L2 |
| Still passed the weavers and the dyers | K2 |
| Many a jar a bowl | W |
| Turned as of water or of milk | N2 |
| Glazen and jade and porcelain | I2 |
| Far down the shadows colouring stole | W |
| As one had shook a jungle after rain | O2 |
| And basketing the drops at random spilled | J2 |
| Their red and green their topaz and sapphires | K2 |
| All were here piled | J2 |
| And wandering out we smiled | J2 |
| To see across the glowing noon so high | K |
| So high and far | P2 |
| The incandescent minarets and domes and spires | K2 |
| Lifting the fusion of the coloured choirs | K2 |
| To the sky | K |
| Softly save only where | N |
| A flag or pennant fallen slack | Q2 |
| Shotted the dazzling air | N |
| I came to day to find her I came back | Q2 |
| Humble with sweet desires | K2 |
| Across this dun September atmosphere | G |
| To her | R2 |
| I came I knew she was not here | E |
| Now let me go | S2 |
| I came I come because I love her so | S2 |
| - | |
| Not in the acres of the Soul | W |
| Does Nature drive the ploughshare of her change | T2 |
| It is not strange | T2 |
| That here in part and whole | W |
| The faithful eye sees all things as before | U2 |
| For past the newer flowers | K2 |
| Above the recent trees and clouds come o'er | R2 |
| Love finds the other hours | K2 |
| Once more | U2 |
