| Shake to the wind their echo Not again | B |
| We see below the sky that over arches | A |
| Heavy and blue the plain | C |
| - | |
| Between Tofana lying and Cristallo | D |
| In meadowy earths above the ringing stream | E |
| Whence interchangeably desire may follow | D |
| Hesitant as in dream | E |
| - | |
| At sunset south by lilac promontories | A |
| Under green skies ato Italy or forth | F |
| By calms of morning beyond Lavinores | A |
| Tyrolward and to north | F |
| - | |
| As now this last of latter days when over | G |
| The brownish field by peasants are undone | H |
| Some widths of grass some plots of mountain clover | G |
| Under the autumn sun | H |
| - | |
| With honey warm perfume that risen lingers | A |
| In mazes of low heat or takes the air | I |
| Passing delicious as a woman's fingers | A |
| Passing aid the hair | I |
| - | |
| When scythes are swishing and the mower's muscle | D |
| Spans a repeated crescent to and fro | D |
| Or in dry stalks of corn the sickles rustle | D |
| Tangle detach and go | D |
| - | |
| Far thro' the wide blue day and greening meadow | D |
| Whose blots of amber beaded are with sheaves | A |
| Whereover pallidly a cloud shadow | D |
| Deadens the earth and leaves | A |
| - | |
| Whilst high around and near their heads of iron | J |
| Sunken in sky whose azure overlights | A |
| Ravine and edges stand the gray and maron | K |
| Desolate Dolomites | A |
| - | |
| And older than decay from the small summit | L |
| Unfolds a stream of pebbly wreckage down | M |
| Under the suns of midday like some comet | L |
| Struck into gravel stone | N |
| - | |
| Faintly across this gold and amethystine | N |
| September images of summer fade | O |
| And gentle dreams now freshen on the pristine | N |
| Viols awhile unplayed | O |
| - | |
| Of many a place where lovingly we wander | G |
| More dearly held that quickly we forsake | P |
| A pine by sullen coasts an oleander | G |
| Reddening on the lake | P |
| - | |
| And there each year with more familiar motion | N |
| From many a bird and windy forestries | A |
| Or along shaking fringes of the ocean | N |
| Vapours of music rise | A |
| - | |
| From many easts the morning gives her splendour | G |
| The shadows fill with colours we forget | O |
| Remembered tints at evening grow tender | G |
| Tarnished with violet | O |
| - | |
| Let us away soon sheets of winter metal | D |
| On this discoloured mountain land will close | A |
| While elsewhere Spring time weaves a crimson petal | D |
| Builds and perfumes a rose | A |
| - | |
| Away for her the mountain sinks in gravel | D |
| Let us forget the unhappy site with change | Q |
| And go if only happiness be travel | D |
| After the new and strange | Q |
| - | |
| Unless 'twere better to be very single | D |
| To follow some diviner monotone | N |
| And in all beauties where ourselves commingle | D |
| Love but a love but one | N |
| - | |
| Across this shadowy minute of our living | R |
| What time our hearts so magically sing | R |
| To meditate our fever simply giving | R |
| All in a little thing | R |
| - | |
| Just as here past yon dumb and melancholy | D |
| Sameness of ruin while the mountains ail | D |
| Summer and sunset coloured autumn slowly | D |
| Dissipate down the vale | D |
| - | |
| And all these lines along the sky that measure | G |
| Sorapis and the rocks of Mezzodi | O |
| Crumble by foamy miles into the azure | G |
| Mediterranean sea | D |
| - | |
| Whereas to day at sunrise under brambles | A |
| A league above the moss and dying pines | A |
| I picked this little in my hand that trembles | A |
| Parcel of columbines | A |
