| When all my senses creep | U |
| To bear me through the rift | T |
| In the blue range of sleep | U |
| - | |
| And so I pass beyond | V |
| The solace of your hand | W |
| But ah so brave and fond | V |
| Within that morrow land | W |

| Against the narrow door | Q |

| Where sorrow knocks too late | Y |
| And grief is overdue | C |
| Beyond the granite gate | Y |
| There will be thoughts of you | C |
