| Can die indeed | B |
| Were ordinance too wantonly malign | A |
| No wit may reconcile so cold a creed | B |
| With beauty such as thine | A |
| - | |
| From wave and star and flower | C |
| Some effluence rare | D |
| Was lent thee a divine but transient dower | E |

| To wave and star and flower | C |

| Shouldst thou to morrow die | F |
| Thou still shalt be | G |
| Found in the rose and met in all the sky | F |
| And from the ocean's heart shalt sing to me | G |
| Shouldst thou to morrow die | F |
