| You have stepped across your people carelessly hurting them all | B |
| I have stepped across my people and hurt them in spite of my care | C |
| - | |
| But steadily surely and notwithstanding | D |
| We have come our ways and met at last | E |
| Here in this upper room | F |
| - | |
| Here the balcony | G |
| Overhangs the street where the bullock wagons slowly | G |
| Go by with their loads of green and silver birch trees | H |
| For the feast of Corpus Christi | G |
| - | |
| Here from the balcony | G |
| We look over the growing wheat where the jade green river | I |
| Goes between the pine woods | J |

| Stand in their blueness flashing with snow and the morning | D |

| At last I can throw away world without end and meet you | P |
| Unsheathed and naked and narrow and white | Q |
| At last you can throw immortality off and I see you | P |
| Glistening with all the moment and all your beauty | G |
| - | |
| Shameless and callous I love you | P |
| Out of indifference I love you | P |
| Out of mockery we dance together | I |
| Out of the sunshine into the shadow | R |
| Passing across the shadow into the sunlight | Q |
| Out of sunlight to shadow | R |
| - | |
| As we dance | S |
| Your eyes take all of me in as a communication | O |
| As we dance | S |
| I see you ah in full | T |
| Only to dance together in triumph of being together | I |
| Two white ones sharp vindicated | U |
| Shining and touching | D |
| Is heaven of our own sheer with repudiation | O |
