| At God speeded summer's end | B |
| In the torrent salmon sun | C |
| In my seashaken house | D |
| On a breakneck of rocks | E |
| Tangled with chirrup and fruit | F |
| Froth flute fin and quill | G |
| At a wood's dancing hoof | H |
| By scummed starfish sands | I |
| With their fishwife cross | J |
| Gulls pipers cockles and snails | K |
| Out there crow black men | L |
| Tackled with clouds who kneel | M |
| To the sunset nets | N |
| Geese nearly in heaven boys | O |
| Stabbing and herons and shells | P |
| That speak seven seas | Q |
| Eternal waters away | R |
| From the cities of nine | S |
| Days' night whose towers will catch | T |
| In the religious wind | U |
| Like stalks of tall dry straw | V |
| At poor peace I sing | W |
| To you strangers though song | X |
| Is a burning and crested act | Y |
| The fire of birds in | Z |
| The world's turning wood | A2 |
| For my swan splay sounds | B2 |
| Out of these seathumbed leaves | C2 |
| That will fly and fall | D2 |
| Like leaves of trees and as soon | E2 |
| Crumble and undie | A2 |
| Into the dogdayed night | A2 |
| Seaward the salmon sucked sun slips | F2 |
| And the dumb swans drub blue | G2 |
| My dabbed bay's dusk as I hack | H2 |
| This rumpus of shapes | I2 |
| For you to know | J2 |
| How I a spining man | K2 |
| Glory also this star bird | A2 |
| Roared sea born man torn blood blest | A2 |
| Hark I trumpet the place | L2 |
| From fish to jumping hill Look | M2 |
| I build my bellowing ark | N2 |
| To the best of my love | O2 |
| As the flood begins | P2 |
| Out of the fountainhead | A2 |
| Of fear rage read manalive | O2 |
| Molten and mountainous to stream | Q2 |
| Over the wound asleep | R2 |
| Sheep white hollow farms | S2 |
| To Wales in my arms | S2 |
| Hoo there in castle keep | R2 |
| You king singsong owls who moonbeam | Q2 |
| The flickering runs and dive | O2 |
| The dingle furred deer dead | A2 |
| Huloo on plumbed bryns | S2 |
| O my ruffled ring dove | O2 |
| in the hooting nearly dark | N2 |
| With Welsh and reverent rook | M2 |
| Coo rooning the woods' praise | S2 |
| who moons her blue notes from her nest | A2 |
| Down to the curlew herd | A2 |
| Ho hullaballoing clan | K2 |
| Agape with woe | J2 |
| In your beaks on the gabbing capes | S2 |
| Heigh on horseback hill jack | H2 |
| Whisking hare who | G2 |
| Hears there this fox light my flood ship's | S2 |
| Clangour as I hew and smite | A2 |
| A clash of anvils for my | T2 |
| Hubbub and fiddle this tune | E2 |
| On atounged puffball | G2 |
| But animals thick as theives | S2 |
| On God's rough tumbling grounds | S2 |
| Hail to His beasthood | A2 |
| Beasts who sleep good and thin | Z |
| Hist in hogback woods The haystacked | A2 |
| Hollow farms ina throng | X |
| Of waters cluck and cling | W |
| And barnroofs cockcrow war | U2 |
| O kingdom of neighbors finned | A2 |
| Felled and quilled flash to my patch | T |
| Work ark and the moonshine | S |
| Drinking Noah of the bay | R |
| With pelt and scale and fleece | S2 |
| Only the drowned deep bells | S2 |
| Of sheep and churches noise | S2 |
| Poor peace as the sun sets | S2 |
| And dark shoals every holy field | A2 |
| We will ride out alone then | L |
| Under the stars of Wales | S2 |
| Cry Multiudes of arks Across | S2 |
| The water lidded lands | S2 |
| Manned with their loves they'll move | O2 |
| Like wooden islands hill to hill | G2 |
| Huloo my prowed dove with a flute | A2 |
| Ahoy old sea legged fox | S2 |
| Tom tit and Dai mouse | S2 |
| My ark sings in the sun | C |
| At God speeded summer's end | A2 |
| And the flood flowers now | A |
