| Withheld revelations | B |
| The songs that I may not utter | C |
| They lead me they flatter they woo me | D |
| I follow I follow I snatch | E |

| For lo they have left me and vanished | G |
| The songs that I cannot sing | H |
| - | |
| There are visions elusive that come | I |
| With a quiver and shimmer of wings | J |
| Shapes shadows and shapes and the murmur | C |
| Of voices | K |
| Shapes that out of the twilight | L |
| Leap and with gesture appealing | H |
| Seem to deliver a message | M |
| And are gone 'twixt a breath and a breath | N |
| Shapes that race in with the waves | O |
| Moving silverly under the moon | P |

| Flutes | T |
| Blown somewhere out in the tender | C |

| They are Beauty | D |
| Formless and tremulous Beauty | D |
| - | |
| Beauty unborn | E2 |
| Beauty as yet unappareled | D |
| In thought | D |
| Beauty that hesitates | V |
| Falters | V |
| Withdraws from the verge of birth | F2 |
| Flutters | V |
| Retreats from the portals of life | G2 |
| O Beauty for ever uncaptured | D |
| O songs that I never shall sing | H |
