| The ghosts of James and Peirce in Harvard Yard | B |
| At star pierced midnight after the chapel bell | C |
| Episcopalian palian the ringing soared | D |
| Stare at me now as if they wish me well | C |
| In the waking dream amid the trees which fall | A |
| Bar and bough of shadow by my shadow crossed | E |
| They have not slept for long and they know all | A |
| Know time's exhaustion and the spirit's cost | F |
| - | |
| We studied the radiant sun the star's pure seed | G |
| Darkness is infinite The blind can see | H |
| Hatred's necessity and love's grave need | G |
| Now that the poor are murdered across the sea | H |
| And you are ignorant who hear the bell | C |
| Ignorant you walk between heaven and hell | C |
