| First Line | Those who have been in the grave the longest |
| First Line | Be mine the doom |
| First Line | It was a grave, yet bore no stone |
| First Line | Impossibility, like wine |
| First Line | So set it's sun in thee |
| First Line | How the waters closed above him |
| First Line | Always mine! No more vacation! |
| First Line | I cannot buy it - 'tis not sold |
| First Line | A moth the hue of this |
| First Line | Good to hide, and hear 'em hunt! |
| First Line | Love - is that later thing than death |
| First Line | Struck, was I, nor yet by lightning |
| First Line | Patience - has a quiet outer |
| First Line | Dying! To be afraid of thee |
| First Line | I made slow riches but my gain |
| First Line | Spring is the period |
| First Line | Before he comes |
| First Line | Twice had summer her fair verdure |
| First Line | Unable are the loved to die |
| First Line | Finite to fail, but infinite - to venture |
| First Line | Just as he spoke it from his hands |
| First Line | The good will of a flower |
| First Line | I sing to use the waiting |
| First Line | Her grace is all she has |
| First Line | When the astronomer stops seeking |
| First Line | Absent place - an april day |
| First Line | Apology for her |
| First Line | The heart has narrow banks |
| First Line | When one has given up one's life |
| First Line | The veins of other flowers |
| First Line | A light exists in spring |
| First Line | Banish air from air |
| First Line | Like men and women shadows walk |
| First Line | How far is it to heaven? |
| First Line | This quiet dust was gentlemen and ladies |
| First Line | There is a June when corn is cut |
| First Line | To own the art within the soul |
| First Line | There is a finished feeling |
