| This side of the truth | B |
| You may not see my son | C |
| King of your blue eyes | D |
| In the blinding country of youth | B |
| That all is undone | C |
| Under the unminding skies | D |
| Of innocence and guilt | E |
| Before you move to make | F |
| One gesture of the heart or head | G |
| Is gathered and spilt | E |
| Into the winding dark | H |
| Like the dust of the dead | G |
| - | |
| Good and bad two ways | I |
| Of moving about your death | J |
| By the grinding sea | K |
| King of your heart in the blind days | I |
| Blow away like breath | J |
| Go crying through you and me | K |
| And the souls of all men | L |
| Into the innocent | M |
| Dark and the guilty dark and good | N |
| Death and bad death and then | L |
| In the last element | M |
| Fly like the stars' blood | O |

| Like the sun's tears | P |
| Like the moon's seed rubbish | Q |
| And fire the flying rant | R |
| Of the sky king of your six years | S |
| And the wicked wish | Q |
| Down the beginning of plants | T |
| And animals and birds | U |
| Water and Light the earth and sky | V |
| Is cast before you move | W |
| And all your deeds and words | U |
| Each truth each lie | V |
| Die in unjudging love | X |
