| In the freshness the forenoon air in the far stretching circuits | E |
| and vistas again to peace restored | F |
| To the fiery fields emanative and the endless vistas beyond to the | G |
| south and the north | H |

| wide | O |
| To the far off sea and the unseen winds and the same impalpable | P |
| air | Q |
| And responding they answer all but not in words | R |
| The average earth the witness of war and peace acknowledges mutely | P |
| The prairie draws me close as the father to bosom broad the son | S |
| The Northern ice and rain that began me nourish me to the end | T |
| But the hot sun of the South is to ripen my songs | J |
