| Myselves | B |
| The grievers | B |
| Grieve | C |
| Among the street burned to tireless death | D |
| A child of a few hours | B |
| With its kneading mouth | E |
| Charred on the black breast of the grave | F |
| The mother dug and its arms full of fires | B |

| Begin | G |
| With singing | H |
| Sing | H |
| Darkness kindled back into beginning | H |
| When the caught tongue nodded blind | I |
| A star was broken | J |
| Into the centuries of the child | K |
| Myselves grieve now and miracles cannot atone | L |

| Forgive | M |
| Us forgive | M |
| Us your death that myselves the believers | B |
| May hold it in a great flood | N |
| Till the blood shall spurt | O |
| And the dust shall sing like a bird | P |
| As the grains blow as your death grows through our heart | Q |

| Laid in her snow | T |
| On the altar of London | J |
| Was the first to die | A |
| In the cinder of the little skull | X |
| O bride and bride groom | Y |
| O Adam and Eve together | U |
| Lying in the lull | X |
| Under the sad breast of the head stone | L |

| Word singers and tongue | A2 |
| In the cinder of the little skull | X |
| Who was the serpent's | B |
| Night fall and the fruit like a sun | J |
| Man and woman undone | J |
| Beginning crumbled back to darkness | B |
| Bare as nurseries | B |
| Of the garden of wilderness | B |

| Into the organpipes and steeples | B |
| Of the luminous cathedrals | B |
| Into the weathercocks' molten mouths | B |
| Rippling in twelve winded circles | B |
| Into the dead clock burning the hour | U |
| Over the urn of sabbaths | B |
| Over the whirling ditch of daybreak | B2 |
| Over the sun's hovel and the slum of fire | U |
| And the golden pavements laid in requiems | B |
| Into the bread in a wheatfield of flames | B |
| Into the wine burning like brandy | B |
| The masses of the sea | B |
| The masses of the sea under | U |
| The masses of the infant bearing sea | B |
| Erupt fountain and enter to utter for ever | U |
| Glory glory glory | B |
| The sundering ultimate kingdom of genesis' thunder | U |
