| Over dew gleaming flowers | B |
| Night flies away | A |
| Till the resting of hours | B |
| Fresh are thy feet | C |
| And with dreams thine eyes glistening | D |
| Thy still lips are sweet | C |
| Though the world is a listening | D |
| O Love set a word in my mouth for our meeting | D |
| Cast thine arms round about me to stay my heart's beating | D |
| O fresh day O fair day O long day made ours | B |
| - | |
| Morn shall meet noon | E |
| While the flower stems yet move | F |
| Though the wind dieth soon | E |
| And the clouds fade above | G |
| Loved lips are thine | H |
| As I tremble and hearken | H |
| Bright thine eyes shine | H |
| Though the leaves thy brow darken | H |
| O Love kiss me into silence lest no word avail me | I |
| Stay my head with thy bosom lest breath and life fail me | I |
| O sweet day O rich day made long for our love | G |
| - | |
| Late day shall greet eve | J |
| And the full blossoms shake | K |
| For the wind will not leave | J |
| The tall trees while they wake | K |
| Eyes soft with bliss | L |
| Come nigher and nigher | M |
| Sweet mouth I kiss | L |
| Tell me all thy desire | M |
| Let us speak love together some words of our story | M |
| That our lips as they part may remember the glory | M |
| O soft day O calm day made clear for our sake | K |
| - | |
| Eve shall kiss night | N |
| And the leaves stir like rain | H |
| As the wind stealeth light | N |
| O'er the grass of the plain | H |
| Unseen are thine eyes | O |
| Mid the dreamy night's sleeping | D |
| And on my mouth there lies | O |
| The dear rain of thy weeping | D |
| Hold silence love speak not of the sweet day departed | P |
| Cling close to me love lest I waken sad hearted | P |
| O kind day O dear day short day come again | H |
