| And dust with my dust | A |
| O child who died as you entered the world | B |
| Dead with my death | C |
| Not knowing Breath though you tried so hard | D |
| With a heart that beat when you lived with me | E |
| And stopped when you left me for Life | F |

| And eyeless Nature that makes you drink | O |
| From the cup of Love though you know it's poisoned | P |
| To whom would your flower face have been lifted | N |
| Botanist weakling Cry of what blood to yours | Q |
| Pure or foul for it makes no matter | L |
| It's blood that calls to our blood | N |
| And then your children oh what might they be | E |
| And what your sorrow Child Child | R |
| Death is better than Life | F |
