Swift trains go by in a rush of light | B |
Slow trains steal past | C |
This train beats anxiously outward bound | A |

But I am not here | D |
I am away beyond the scope of this turning | E |
There where the pivot is the axis | F |
Of all this gear | G |

I who sit in tears | H |
I whose heart is torn with parting | E |

Voices of men | K |
Sound of artillery aeroplanes presences | L |
And more than all the dead sure silence | M |
The pivot again | K |

There at the axis | F |
Pain or love or grief | N |
Sleep on speed in dead certainty | O |
Pure relief | N |

There at the pivot | P |
Time sleeps again | K |
No has been no here after only the perfected | Q |
Silence of men | K |
