| Which in its still unknowing silence holds | B |
| All knowledge ever by withholding holds | B |
| When on that void like footfalls in far rooms | C |
| In faint pulsations from the whitening East | D |
| Articulate voices first were felt to stir | E |

| And without oxygen could life subsist | W |
| And was the world originally mist | W |
| Talk they as talk they list | W |
| I in that ampler voice | M |
| Unheeding did rejoice | M |
