Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHJAKA LMDMNKOL APQPRASA| We go no more to Calverly's | A |
| For there the lights are few and low | B |
| And who are there to see by them | C |
| Or what they see we do not know | B |
| Poor strangers of another tongue | D |
| May now creep in from anywhere | E |
| And we forgotten be no more | F |
| Than twilight on a ruin there | E |
| - | |
| We two the remnant All the rest | G |
| Are cold and quiet You nor I | H |
| Nor fiddle now nor flagon lid | I |
| May ring them back from where they lie | H |
| No fame delays oblivion | J |
| For them but something yet survives | A |
| A record written fair could we | K |
| But read the book of scattered lives | A |
| - | |
| There'll be a page for Leffingwell | L |
| And one for Lingard the Moon calf | M |
| And who knows what for Clavering | D |
| Who died because he couldn't laugh | M |
| Who knows or cares No sign is here | N |
| No face no voice no memory | K |
| No Lingard with his eerie joy | O |
| No Clavering no Calverly | L |
| - | |
| We cannot have them here with us | A |
| To say where their light lives are gone | P |
| Or if they be of other stuff | Q |
| Than are the moons of Ilion | P |
| So be their place of one estate | R |
| With ashes echoes and old wars | A |
| Or ever we be of the night | S |
| Or we be lost among the stars | A |
