| Into her lying down head | B |
| His enemies entered bed | B |
| Under the encumbered eyelid | C |
| Through the rippled drum of the hair buried ear | D |
| And Noah's rekindled now unkind dove | E |
| Flew man bearing there | F |
| Last night in a raping wave | G |
| Whales unreined from the green grave | G |
| In fountains of origin gave up their love | E |
| Along her innocence glided | C |
| Jaun aflame and savagely young King Lear | H |
| Queen Catherine howling bare | F |
| And Samson drowned in his hair | F |
| The colossal intimacies of silent | I |
| Once seen strangers or shades on a stair | F |
| There the dark blade and wanton sighing her down | J |
| To a haycock couch and the scythes of his arms | K |
| Rode and whistled a hundred times | L |
| Before the crowing morning climbed | M |
| Man was the burning England she was sleep walking and the enamouring island | N |
| Made her limbs blind by luminous charms | K |
| Sleep to a newborn sleep in a swaddling loin leaf stroked and sang | O |
| And his runaway beloved childlike laid in the acorned sand | P |

| II | A |
| - | |
| There where a numberless tongue | Q |
| Wound their room with a male moan | R |
| His faith around her flew undone | S |
| And darkness hung the walls with baskets of snakes | T |
| A furnace nostrilled column membered | U |
| Super or near man | V |
| Resembling to her dulled sense | W |
| The thief of adolescence | X |
| Early imaginary half remembered | U |
| Oceanic lover alone | R |
| Jealousy cannot forget for all her sakes | T |
| Made his bad bed in her good | Y |
| Night and enjoyed as he would | Y |
| Crying white gowned from the middle moonlit stages | Z |
| Out to the tiered and hearing tide | A2 |
| Close and far she announced the theft of the heart | B2 |
| In the taken body at many ages | Z |
| Trespasser and broken bride | A2 |
| Celebrating at her side | A2 |
| All blood signed assailing and vanished marriages in which he had no lovely part | B2 |
| Nor could share for his pride to the least | C2 |
| Mutter and foul wingbeat of the solemnizing nightpriest | C2 |
| Her holy unholy hours with the always anonymous beast | C2 |
| - | |

| III | A |
| - | |
| Two sand grains together in bed | C2 |
| Head to heaven circling head | C2 |
| Singly lie with the whole wide shore | D2 |
| The covering sea their nightfall with no names | E2 |
| And out of every domed and soil based shell | F2 |
| One voice in chains declaims | E2 |
| The female deadly and male | G2 |
| Libidinous betrayal | H2 |
| Golden dissolving under the water veil | G2 |
| A she bird sleeping brittle by | A |
| Her lover's wings that fold to morrow's flight | C2 |
| Within the nested treefork | Q |
| Sings to the treading hawk | Q |
| Carrion paradise chirrup my bright yolk | Q |
| A blade of grass longs with the meadow | C2 |
| A stone lies lost and locked in the lark high hill | I2 |
| Open as to the air to the naked shadow | C2 |
| O she lies alone and still | I2 |
| Innocent between two wars | E2 |
| With the incestuous secret brother in the seconds to perpetuate the stars | E2 |
| A man torn up mourns in the sole night | C2 |
| And the second comers the severers the enemies from the deep | J2 |
| Forgotten dark rest their pulse and bury their dead in her faithless sleep | J2 |
