| They hate my world Then let that other God | L |
| Come from the outer spaces glory shod | L |
| And from this castle I have built on Night | M |
| Steal forth my own thought's children into light | M |

| He walks the airy fields of endless day | C |
| And my rebellious sons have called Him long | N |
| And vainly called My order still is strong | N |
| And like to me nor second none I know | O |
| Whither the mammoth went this creature too shall go | O |
