| his night filled with silvery swarms | G |
| High atop the mountain peaks | H |
| the sentinels are weeping | D |

| Playing her parchment moon | A |
| Precosia comes | B |
| The wind sees her and rises | O |
| the wind that never slumbers | O |
| Naked Saint Christopher swells | O |
| watching the girl as he plays | O |
| with tongues of celestial bells | O |
| on an invisible bagpipe | P |

| Gypsy let me lift your skirt | Q |
| and have a look at you | R |
| Open in my ancient fingers | O |
| the blue rose of your womb | S |

| and runs away in terror | K |
| But the virile wind pursues her | K |
| with his breathing and burning sword | T |

| The sea darkens and roars | O |
| while the olive trees turn pale | U |
| The flutes of darkness sound | V |

| Precosia run Precosia | X |
| Or the green wind will catch you | R |
| Precosia run Precosia | X |
| And look how fast he comes | O |
| A satyr of low born stars | O |
| with their long and glistening tongues | O |
| - | |
| Precosia filled with fear | Y |
| now makes her way to that house | O |
| beyond the tall green pines | O |
| where the English consul lives | O |
| - | |
| Alarmed by the anguished cries | O |
| three riflemen come running | D |
| their black capes tightly drawn | Z |
| and berets down over their brow | A2 |
| - | |
| The Englishman gives the gypsy | O |
| a glass of tepid milk | B2 |
| and a shot of Holland gin | C2 |
| which Precosia does not drink | D2 |
| - | |
| And while she tells them weeping | D |
| of her strange adventure | K |
| the wind furiously gnashes | O |
| against the slate roof tiles | O |
