| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |
