| I did not reach Thee | B |
| But my feet slip nearer every day | C |
| Three Rivers and a Hill to cross | D |
| One Desert and a Sea | B |
| I shall not count the journey one | E |
| When I am telling thee | B |
| - | |
| Two deserts but the Year is cold | F |
| So that will help the sand | G |
| One desert crossed | H |
| The second one | E |
| Will feel as cool as land | G |

| The last shall be the lightest load | N |
| That we have had to draw | O |

| The Sun goes crooked | P |
| That is Night | Q |
| Before he makes the bend | R |
| We must have passed the Middle Sea | B |

| Too great it seems | T |
| So near the Whole to stand | G |

| We step like Plush | U |
| We stand like snow | K |
| The waters murmur new | V |
| Three rivers and the Hill are passed | W |
| Two deserts and the sea | B |
| Now Death usurps my Premium | X |
| And gets the look at Thee | B |
