| And bare and silent brows uplift to heaven | B |
| I envied oft the soul which fills your wastes | C |
| Of pure and stern sublime and still expanse | D |
| Unbroken by the petty incidents | E |
| Of noisy life Oh hear me once again | F |
| - | |
| Winds upon whose racked eddies far aloft | G |
| Above the murmur of the uneasy world | H |
| My thoughts in exultation held their way | I |
| Whose tremulous whispers through the rustling glade | J |
| Were once to me unearthly tones of love | K |
| Joy without object wordless music stealing | L |
| Through all my soul until my pulse beat fast | M |
| With aimless hope and unexpressed desire | N |
| Thou sea who wast to me a prophet deep | O |
| Through all thy restless waves and wasting shores | P |
| Of silent labour and eternal change | Q |
| First teacher of the dense immensity | M |
| Of ever stirring life in thy strange forms | R |
| Of fish and shell and worm and oozy weed | M |
| To me alike thy frenzy and thy sleep | O |
| Have been a deep and breathless joy Oh hear | S |
| - | |
| Mountains and winds and waves take back your child | M |
| Upon thy balmy bosom Mother Nature | N |
| Where my young spirit dreamt its years away | I |
| Give me once more to nestle I have strayed | M |
| Far through another world which is not thine | T |
| Through sunless cities and the weary haunts | U |
| Of smoke grimed labour and foul revelry | V |
| My flagging wing has swept A mateless bird's | W |
| My pilgrimage has been through sin and doubt | M |
| And darkness seeking love Oh hear me Nature | N |
| Receive me once again but not alone | X |
| No more alone Great Mother I have brought | M |
| One who has wandered yet not sinned like me | V |
| Upon thy lap twin children let us lie | Y |
| And in the light of thine immortal eyes | Z |
| Let our souls mingle till The Father calls | A2 |
| To some eternal home the charge He gives thee | V |
