| NEITHER her voice her name | B |
| Eyes quietness neither | C |
| That moved through the light that came | B |
| Cold stalk in her teeth | D |
| Bitten of some blue flower | C |
| Knew I before nor saw | E |
| This was a dream Ah | F |
| This was a dream There was sun | G |
| Laid on the cloths of a table | H |
| We drank together Her mouth | I |
| Was a lion's mouth out of jade | J |
| Cold with a fable of water | C |
| Faces I could not see | K |
| Watched me with gentleness Grace | L |
| Folded my body with wings | M |
| I cannot love you she said | N |
| My head she laid on her breast | O |
| As stillness with ringing of bees | P |

| We were silent and not ashamed | S |
| Ah we were glad that day | T |

| Jangled with earrings of gold | W |
| They told me the wind from the south | I |
| Was the cold wind to be feared | X |
| We were galloping under the leaves | V |
| This was a dream Ah | F |
| This was a dream | Y |
| And her mouth | I |
| Was not your mouth nor her eyes | Z |
| But the rivers were four and I knew | A2 |
| As a secret between us the way | T |
| Hands touch it was you | A2 |
