Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMDNOFIPQ RSTNUVWFXYZA2| I love your faces I saw the many years | A |
| I drank your milk and filled my mouth | B |
| With your home talk slept in your house | C |
| And was one of you | D |
| But a fire burns in my heart | E |
| Under the ribs where pulses thud | F |
| And flitting between bones of skull | G |
| Is the push the endless mysterious command | H |
| Saying | I |
| I leave you behind | J |
| You for the little hills and the years all alike | K |
| You with your patient cows and old houses | L |
| Protected from the rain | M |
| I am going away and I never come back to you | D |
| Crags and high rough places call me | N |
| Great places of death | O |
| Where men go empty handed | F |
| And pass over smiling | I |
| To the star drift on the horizon rim | P |
| My last whisper shall be alone unknown | Q |
| I shall go to the city and fight against it | R |
| And make it give me passwords | S |
| Of luck and love women worth dying for | T |
| And money | N |
| I go where you wist not of | U |
| Nor I nor any man nor woman | V |
| I only know I go to storms | W |
| Grappling against things wet and naked | F |
| There is no pity of it and no blame | X |
| None of us is in the wrong | Y |
| After all it is only this | Z |
| You for the little hills and I go away | A2 |
