| I saw it then as we see things in dreams I do not remember how long I slept | B |
| I remember the tress and the high white walls and how the sun was always on the | C |
| towers | A |
| The walls are standing to day and the gates I have been through the gates I have | D |
| groped I have crept | B |
| Back back There is dust in the streets and blood they are empty darkness is over | E |
| them | F |
| His heart is a place with the lights gone out forsaken by great winds and the heavenly | G |
| rain unclean and unswept | B |
| Like the heart of the holy city old blind beautiful Jerusalem | H |
| Over which Christ wept | B |
