| I felt a Funeral in my Brain | B |
| And Mourners to and fro | C |
| Kept treading treading till it seemed | D |
| That Sense was breaking through | E |
| - | |
| And when they all were seated | F |
| A Service like a Drum | G |
| Kept beating beating till I thought | H |
| My Mind was going numb | G |
| - | |
| And then I heard them lift a Box | I |
| And creak across my Soul | J |
| With those same Boots of Lead again | K |
| Then Space began to toll | J |
| - | |
| As all the Heavens were a Bell | L |
| And Being but an Ear | M |
| And I and Silence some strange Race | N |
| Wrecked solitary here | M |
| - | |
| And then a Plank in Reason broke | O |
| And I dropped down and down | P |
| And hit a World at every plunge | Q |
| And Finished knowing then | K |
