| Suddenly now blurs | F |
| And in they sink | E |
| - | |
| Here love ends | G |
| Despair ambition ends | G |
| All pleasure and all trouble | H |
| Although most sweet or bitter | I |

| Or face of dearest look | J |
| That I would not turn from now | K |
| To go into the unknown | L |
| I must enter and leave alone | L |
| I know not how | K |

| The tall forest towers | F |
| Its cloudy foliage lowers | F |
| Ahead shelf above shelf | M |
| Its silence I hear and obey | N |
| That I may lose my way | N |
| And myself | M |
