| In the wood of lost causes the valley of tears | B |
| Old hopes like dead leaves choke the difficult way | C |
| Dark pinions fold dank round the soul and it hears | D |
| 'It is night it is night it has never been day | C |
| Thou hast dreamed of the day of the rose of delight | E |
| It was always dead leaves and the heart of the night | E |
| Drink deep then and rest O thou foolish wayfarer | F |
| For night like a chalice holds sleep in her hands ' | - |

| Then you drain the dark cup and half drugged as you lie | A |
| In the arms of despair that is masked as delight | E |
| You thrill to the rush of white wings and you hear | F |
| 'It is day it is day it has never been night | E |
| Thou hast dreamed of the night and the wood of lost leaves | G |
| It was always noon June and red roses in sheaves | G |
| Unlock the blind lids and behold the light bearer | F |
| Who holds like a monstrance the sun in his hands ' | - |
