| PAN | C |
| O sea stray seed of Apollo | A |
| What word wouldst thou have with me | D |
| My ways thou wast fain to follow | A |
| Or ever the years hailed thee | D |
| Man | C |
| Now | E |
| If August brood on the valleys | B |
| If satyrs laugh on the lawns | B |
| What part in the wildwood alleys | B |
| Hast thou with the fleet foot fauns | B |
| Thou | E |
| See | B |
| Thy feet are a man's not cloven | E |
| Like these not light as a boy's | B |
| The tresses and tendrils inwoven | E |
| That lure us the lure of them cloys | B |
| Thee | B |
| Us | B |
| The joy of the wild woods never | F |
| Leaves free of the thirst it slakes | B |
| The wild love throbs in us ever | F |
| That burns in the dense hot brakes | B |
| Thus | B |
| Life | G |
| Eternal passionate awless | B |
| Insatiable mutable dear | H |
| Makes all men's law for us lawless | B |
| We strive not how should we fear | H |
| Strife | G |
| We | B |
| The birds and the bright winds know not | I |
| Such joys as are ours in the mild | J |
| Warm woodland joys such as grow not | I |
| In waste green fields of the wild | J |
| Sea | B |
| No | E |
| Long since in the world's wind veering | K |
| Thy heart was estranged from me | B |
| Sweet Echo shall yield thee not hearing | K |
| What have we to do with thee | B |
| Go | E |
| - | |
| THALASSIUS | B |
| Ay | L |
| Such wrath on thy nostril quivers | B |
| As once in Sicilian heat | M |
| Bade herdsmen quail and the rivers | B |
| Shrank leaving a path for thy feet | M |
| Dry | N |
| Nay | L |
| Low down in the hot soft hollow | E |
| Too snakelike hisses thy spleen | E |
| O sea stray seed of Apollo | E |
| What ill hast thou heard or seen | E |
| Say | L |
| Man | E |
| Knows well if he hears beside him | O |
| The snarl of thy wrath at noon | E |
| What evil may soon betide him | O |
| Or late if thou smite not soon | E |
| Pan | E |
| Me | B |
| The sound of thy flute that flatters | L |
| The woods as they smile and sigh | N |
| Charmed fast as it charms thy satyrs | L |
| Can charm no faster than I | N |
| Thee | B |
| Fast | P |
| Thy music may charm the splendid | Q |
| Wide woodland silence to sleep | R |
| With sounds and dreams of thee blended | Q |
| And whispers of waters that creep | R |
| Past | P |
| Here | S |
| The spell of thee breathes and passes | L |
| And bids the heart in me pause | L |
| Hushed soft as the leaves and the grasses | L |
| Are hushed if the storm's foot draws | L |
| Near | H |
| Yet | T |
| The panic that strikes down strangers | L |
| Transgressing thy ways unaware | U |
| Affrights not me nor endangers | L |
| Through dread of thy secret snare | U |
| Set | T |
| - | |
| PAN | E |
| Whence | L |
| May man find heart to deride me | B |
| Who made his face as a star | V |
| To shine as a God's beside me | B |
| Nay get thee away from us far | V |
| Hence | L |
| - | |
| THALASSIUS | L |
| Then | E |
| Shall no man's heart as he raises | L |
| A hymn to thy secret head | W |
| Wax great with the godhead he praises | L |
| Thou God shalt be like unto dead | W |
| Men | E |
| - | |
| PAN | E |
| Grace | L |
| I take not of men's thanksgiving | K |
| I crave not of lips that live | X |
| They die and behold I am living | K |
| While they and their dead Gods give | Y |
| Place | L |
| - | |
| THALASSIUS | L |
| Yea | L |
| Too lightly the words were spoken | E |
| That mourned or mocked at thee dead | W |
| But whose was the word the token | E |
| The song that answered and said | W |
| Nay | L |
| - | |
| PAN | E |
| Whose | L |
| But mine in the midnight hidden | E |
| Clothed round with the strength of night | Z |
| And mysteries of things forbidden | E |
| For all but the one most bright | Z |
| Muse | L |
| - | |
| THALASSIUS | L |
| Hers | L |
| Or thine O Pan was the token | E |
| That gave back empire to thee | B |
| When power in thy hands lay broken | E |
| As reeds that quake if a bee | B |
| Stirs | L |
| - | |
| PAN | E |
| Whom | A2 |
| Have I in my wide woods need of | B2 |
| Urania's limitless eyes | L |
| Behold not mine end though they read of | B2 |
| A word that shall speak to the skies | L |
| Doom | A2 |
| - | |
| THALASSIUS | L |
| She | B |
| Gave back to thee kingdom and glory | B |
| And grace that was thine of yore | C2 |
| And life to thy leaves late hoary | B |
| As weeds cast up from the hoar | C2 |
| Sea | B |
| Song | D2 |
| Can bid faith shine as the morning | K |
| Though light in the world be none | E |
| Death shrinks if her tongue sound warning | K |
| Night quails and beholds the sun | E |
| Strong | D2 |
| - | |
| PAN | E |
| Night | Z |
| Bare rule over men for ages | L |
| Whose worship wist not of me | B |
| And gat but sorrows for wages | L |
| And hardly for tears could see | B |
| Light | Z |
| Call | A |
| No more on the starry presence | L |
| Whose light through the long dark swam | E2 |
| Hold fast to the green world's pleasance | L |
| For I that am lord of it am | E2 |
| All | A |
| - | |
| THALASSIUS | L |
| God | F2 |
| God Pan from the glad wood's portal | A |
| The breaths of thy song blow sweet | M |
| But woods may be walked in of mortal | A |
| Man's thought where never thy feet | M |
| Trod | F2 |
| Thine | E |
| All secrets of growth and of birth are | V |
| All glories of flower and of tree | B |
| Wheresoever the wonders of earth are | V |
| The words of the spell of the sea | B |
| Mine | E |
