| With her shadowy cone the night goes round | Q |
| - | |
| Away away in our blossoming bowers | R |
| In the soft air wrapping these spheres of ours | R |
| In the seas and fountains that shine with morn | S |

| Glide on in your beauty ye youthful spheres | T |
| To weave the dance that measures the years | T |
| Glide on in the glory and gladness sent | U |
| To the farthest wall of the firmament | U |
| The boundless visible smile of Him | V |
| To the veil of whose brow your lamps are dim | V |
