| Sort me O tongue and lips for Nature's sake and sweet life's | B |
| sake and death's the same as life's | B |
| Souvenirs of earliest summer birds' eggs and the first berries | C |
| Gather the welcome signs as children with pebbles or stringing | D |
| shells | E |
| Put in April and May the hylas croaking in the ponds the elastic | F |
| air | G |
| Bees butterflies the sparrow with its simple notes | H |
| Blue bird and darting swallow nor forget the high hole flashing his | I |
| golden wings | J |
| The tranquil sunny haze the clinging smoke the vapor | K |
| Spiritual airy insects humming on gossamer wings | J |
| Shimmer of waters with fish in them the cerulean above | L |
| All that is jocund and sparkling the brooks running | D |
| The maple woods the crisp February days and the sugar making | D |
| The robin where he hops bright eyed brown breasted | M |
| With musical clear call at sunrise and again at sunset | N |
| Or flitting among the trees of the apple orchard building the nest | O |
| of his mate | P |
| The melted snow of March the willow sending forth its yellow green | Q |
| sprouts | R |
| For spring time is here the summer is here and what is this in it | S |
| and from it | S |
| Thou Soul unloosen'd the restlessness after I know not what | T |
| Come let us lag here no longer let us be up and away | U |
| O for another world O if one could but fly like a bird | V |
| O to escape to sail forth as in a ship | W |
| To glide with thee O Soul o'er all in all as a ship o'er the | X |
| waters | Y |
| Gathering these hints these preludes the blue sky the grass the | X |
| morning drops of dew | Z |
| With additional songs every spring will I now strike up additional | A2 |
| songs | B2 |
| Nor ever again forget these tender days the chants of Death as well | C2 |
| as Life | D2 |
| The lilac scent the bushes and the dark green heart shaped leaves | E2 |
| Wood violets the little delicate pale blossoms called innocence | F2 |
| Samples and sorts not for themselves alone but for their atmosphere | G2 |
| To tally drench'd with them tested by them | H2 |
| Cities and artificial life and all their sights and scenes | I2 |
| My mind henceforth and all its meditations my recitatives | E2 |
| My land my age my race for once to serve in songs | B2 |
| Sprouts tokens ever of death indeed the same as life | D2 |
| To grace the bush I love to sing with the birds | J2 |
| A warble for joy of Lilac time | A |
