| Lamps in a wash of rain | B |
| Oh the wet walk of my brown hen through the stack yard | C |
| Oh tears on the window pane | B |
| - | |
| Nothing now will ripen the bright green apples | D |
| Full of disappointment and of rain | B |
| Brackish they will taste of tears when the yellow dapples | D |
| Of autumn tell the withered tale again | E |
| - | |
| All round the yard it is cluck my brown hen | E |
| Cluck and the rain wet wings | D |
| Cluck my marigold bird and again | E |
| Cluck for your yellow darlings | D |
| - | |
| For the grey rat found the gold thirteen | F |
| Huddled away in the dark | G |
| Flutter for a moment oh the beast is quick and keen | F |
| Extinct one yellow fluffy spark | G |
| - | |
| Once I had a lover bright like running water | H |
| Once his face was laughing like the sky | I |
| Open like the sky looking down in all its laughter | H |
| On the buttercups and the buttercups was I | I |
| - | |
| What then is there hidden in the skirts of all the blossom | J |
| What is peeping from your wings oh mother hen | E |
| 'Tis the sun who asks the question in a lovely haste for wisdom | J |
| What a lovely haste for wisdom is in men | E |
| - | |
| Yea but it is cruel when undressed is all the blossom | J |
| And her shift is lying white upon the floor | K |
| That a grey one like a shadow like a rat a thief a rain storm | L |
| Creeps upon her then and gathers in his store | K |
| - | |
| Oh the grey garner that is full of half grown apples | D |
| Oh the golden sparkles laid extinct | M |
| And oh behind the cloud sheaves like yellow autumn dapples | D |
| Did you see the wicked sun that winked | M |
