| She speaks in her way of her savage seas | B |
| With unknown algae and unknown sands | C |
| She prays to a formless weightless God | D |
| Aged as if dying | E |
| In our garden now so strange | F |
| She has planted cactus and alien grass | G |
| The desert zephyr fills her with its breath | H |
| And she has loved with a fierce white passion | I |
| She never speaks of for if she were to tell | J |
| It would be like the face of unknown stars | K |
| Among us she may live for eighty years | L |
| Yet always as if newly come | M |
| Speaking a tongue that plants and whines | N |
| Only by tiny creatures understood | O |
| And she will die here in our midst | P |
| One night of utmost suffering | E |
| With only her fate as a pillow | Q |
| And death silent and strang | R |
