| The coroner | A |
| And Loveridge Chase sat in the coroner's office | G |
| And talked the matter over And the coroner | A |
| Who knew this Loveridge Chase was wondering | H |

| Of secret service followed it and asked | J |
| How did you come to give your brains to this | K |
| Who could do other things And Loveridge said | L |
| A woman made me I went round the world | M |
| As jackie once was brought into this world | M |
| By a mother good and wise but took from her | A |

| Before this talk of Loveridge Chase who heard | X |
| This story and analysis of Leone | S |
| Mixed in with other talk and got a light | Z |

| Know you as well have confidence in you | N |
| Make ready to go and bring the letters back | O |
| - | |
| And on the day that Loveridge Chase departs | A2 |
| To get the letters in New York Bernard | B2 |
| A veteran of Belleau married that day | V |
| To Amy Whidden on a lofty dune | C2 |
| At Millers Indiana with his bride | D2 |
| Long quiet tells her something of the war | A |
| These soldiers cannot speak what they have lived | E2 |
| But Elenor Murray helps him for the talk | F2 |
| Of Elenor Murray runs the rounds so many | A |
| Stations whence the talk is sent the men | G2 |
| Or women who had known her came in touch | H2 |
| Somehow with her These newly wedded two | N |
| Go out to see blue water yellow sand | I2 |
| And watch the white caps pat the sky and hear | A |
| The intermittent whispers of the waves | J2 |
| And here Bernard the soldier tells his bride | D2 |
| Of Elenor Murray and their days at Nice | K2 |
