| Hers Whose Oh if a tongue should tell of dreams unwise | M |
| And love might blazon love to ears abroad | N |
| How would I speak But let this word suffice | M |
| That to my lips one name leaps like a sword | O |
| - | |
| And that I live once more and love all sentient things | M |
| The spirit of the Earth and the Sun's fire | P |
| And the night's silence and hushed wanderings | M |
| And her who is the soul of my desire | P |
