| Pale sweet flower how full of her | A |
| Flower discreet with your priest's eyes | B |
| Trained in all time's mysteries | C |
| Yet how chastely calmly sealed | D |
| Flower of passions unrevealed | D |
| Stainless eyes but none the less | E |
| Wise in life's most nakedness | E |
| With its inward hours of sin | F |
| Known to thee and all therein | F |
| And how soul with soul found might | D |
| In the watches of the night | D |
| Cherishing an unseen joy | G |
| Man with woman girl with boy | G |
| Under the sky's multitude | D |
| Till the pulsings of their blood | D |
| Led them into ways unknown | H |
| Flesh of flesh and bone of bone | H |
| Clasped in one till doubt was over | A |
| And they went forth loved and lover | A |
| Bride and groom to their new home | I |

| Lavender sea lavender | A |
| In a world where she is not | D |
| Mined with plot and counterplot | D |
| Built against our happiness | E |
| You who know her most can guess | E |
| What her thought is far from me | M |
| What soft wind of memory | M |
| Fans her with a scent of pleasure | A |
| What sweet song in what sweet measure | A |
| Trilled by birds when day was breaking | N |
| And each tremulous throat awaking | N |
| Strained to make its passion heard | D |
| Louder there than other bird | D |
| While we listened we too straining | N |
| Heart to heart and watched the waning | N |
| Moon fade slowly like a feather | A |
| In the red East close together | A |
| Near how near who now are far | O |
| Tell me what her fancies are | O |
| Does she love still Does she cherish | P |
| In the waste of days that perish | P |
| That one dawn which cannot die | D |
| Nay I know it nor will I | D |
| Doubt of love or doubt of her | A |
| Lavender sea lavender | A |
| Since she knows and understands | E |
| That my hands still hold her hands | E |
