| Blows the roaring wood of dreams | B |

| From deep clay from desert rock | C |
| From the sunk sands of the main | D |

| In far lodgings east and west | F |
| Lie down on the beds you made | G |

| In gross marl in blowing dust | H |
| In the drowned ooze of the sea | I |
| Where you would not lie you must | H |
| Lie you must and not with me | I |
