| Of sunshine an apt emblem yields | C |
| Of Worldlings reveling in the fields | C |
| Of strenuous idleness | D |

| Less quick the stir when tide and breeze | E |
| Encounter and to narrow seas | E |
| Forbid a moment's rest | F |
| The medley less when boreal Lights | G |

| This ceaseless play the genuine life | H |
| That serves the stedfast hours | G |
| Is in the grass beneath that grows | G |
| Unheeded and the mute repose | G |
| Of sweetly breathing flowers | G |
