The captions of the illustrations do not include lines that form part of the poem or the titles of individual sections. These are reproduced in the poem itself.
Illustrations embodying the initial letter of a stanza, that extend down and across the page, have been truncated so as to fit to the left of the stanza while retaining the initial letter.
