| Amongst the winds between the voices | B |

| Than thou art present in my days | A |
| - | |
| My silence life returns to thee | C |
| In all the pauses of her breath | D |
| Hush back to rest the melody | C |
| That out of thee awakeneth | D |
| And thou wake ever wake for me | C |
| - | |
| Full full is life in hidden places | A |
| For thou art silence unto me | C |
| Full full is thought in endless spaces | A |
| Full is my life A silent sea | C |
| Lies round all shores with long embraces | A |

| Most dear pause in a mellow lay | E |
| Thou art inwoven with every air | F |
| With thee the wildest tempests play | E |
| And snatches of thee everywhere | F |
| Make little heavens throughout a day | E |
| - | |
| Darkness and solitude shine for me | C |
| For life's fair outward part are rife | G |
| The silver noises let them be | C |
| It is the very soul of life | G |
| Listens for thee listens for thee | C |

| O pause between the sobs of cares | A |
| O thought within all thought that is | A |
| Trance between laughters unawares | A |
| Thou art the form of melodies | A |
| And thou the ecstasy of prayers | A |
