| I watch your figures glide | B |
| Across the sunny moorland | C |
| The brown hillside | B |
| - | |
| Each momently up rising | D |
| Large dark against the sky | E |
| Then in the vacant moorland | C |
| Alone sit I | E |
| - | |
| Within the unknown country | F |
| Where your lost footsteps pass | G |
| What beauty decks the heavens | H |
| And clothes the grass | G |
| - | |
| Over the mountains shoulder | I |
| What glories may unfold | J |
| Though I see but the mountain | K |
| Bleak bare and cold | J |
| - | |
| And the white road slow winding | D |
| To where each after each | L |
| You slipped away ah wither | I |
| I cannot reach | L |
| - | |
| And if I call what answers | M |
| Only 'twixt earth and sky | E |
| Like wail of parting spirit | N |
| The curlew's cry | E |

| - | |
| Yet sunny is the moorland | C |
| And soft the pleasant air | O |
| And little flowers like blessings | P |
| Grow everywhere | O |
| - | |
| While over all the mountain | K |
| Stands sombre calm and still | Q |
| Immutable and steadfast | R |
| As the One Will | Q |
| - | |
| Which done on earth in heaven | K |
| Eternally confessed | S |
| By men and saints and angels | T |
| Be ever blest | S |
| - | |
| Under its infinite shadow | U |
| Safer than light of ours | M |
| I'll sit me down a little | V |
| And gather flowers | M |
| - | |
| Then I will rise and follow | U |
| After the setting day | W |
| Without one wish to linger | I |
| The appointed way | W |
