| When into the night the yellow light is roused like dust above the towns | B |
| Or like a mist the moon has kissed from off a pool in the midst of the downs | B |
| - | |
| Our faces flower for a little hour pale and uncertain along the street | C |
| Daisies that waken all mistaken white spread in expectancy to meet | C |
| - | |
| The luminous mist which the poor things wist was dawn arriving across the sky | D |
| When dawn is far behind the star the dust lit town has driven so high | D |
| - | |
| All the birds are folded in a silent ball of sleep | E |
| All the flowers are faded from the asphalt isle in the sea | F |
| Only we hard faced creatures go round and round and keep | E |
| The shores of this innermost ocean alive and illusory | F |
| - | |
| Wanton sparrows that twittered when morning looked in at their eyes | G |
| And the Cyprian's pavement roses are gone and now it is we | F |
| Flowers of illusion who shine in our gauds make a Paradise | H |
| On the shores of this ceaseless ocean gay birds of the town dark sea | F |
