| This Chasm Sweet upon my life | B |
| I mention it to you | C |
| When Sunrise through a fissure drop | D |
| The Day must follow too | C |
| - | |
| If we demur its gaping sides | E |
| Disclose as 'twere a Tomb | F |
| Ourself am lying straight wherein | G |
| The Favorite of Doom | F |
| - | |
| When it has just contained a Life | B |
| Then Darling it will close | H |
| And yet so bolder every Day | I |
| So turbulent it grows | J |
| - | |
| I'm tempted half to stitch it up | K |
| With a remaining Breath | L |
| I should not miss in yielding though | M |
| To Him it would be Death | L |
| - | |
| And so I bear it big about | N |
| My Burial before | O |
| A Life quite ready to depart | P |
| Can harass me no more | O |
