| Rarer than radium | B |
| Commoner than water crueller than truth | C |
| Children kept from the sun | D |
| Assembled at his tongue | E |
| To hear the golden note turn in a groove | F |
| Prisoners of wishes locked their eyes | G |
| In the jails and studies of his keyless smiles | H |
| - | |
| The voice of children says | I |
| From a lost wilderness | J |
| There was calm to be done in his safe unrest | K |
| When hindering man hurt | L |
| Man animal or bird | M |
| We hid our fears in that murdering breath | N |
| Silence silence to do when earth grew loud | O |
| In lairs and asylums of the tremendous shout | P |

| There was glory to hear | A |
| In the churches of his tears | Q |
| Under his downy arm you sighed as he struck | R |
| O you who could not cry | A |

| Put a tear for joy in the unearthly flood | T |
| And laid your cheek against a cloud formed shell | U |
| Now in the dark there is only yourself and myself | V |
| - | |
| Two proud blacked brothers cry | A |
| Winter locked side by side | S |
| To this inhospitable hollow year | A |
| O we who could not stir | A |
| One lean sigh when we heard | M |
| Greed on man beating near and fire neighbour | A |
| But wailed and nested in the sky blue wall | W |
| Now break a giant tear for the little known fall | W |
| - | |
| For the drooping of homes | X |
| That did not nurse our bones | Y |
| Brave deaths of only ones but never found | Z |
| Now see alone in us | J |
| Our own true strangers' dust | A2 |
| Ride through the doors of our unentered house | B2 |
| Exiled in us we arouse the soft | C2 |
| Unclenched armless silk and rough love that breaks all rocks | D2 |
