| The rest go to bed I sit up and see | A |

| And never then without green glasses | C |

| On her nest the sea like a fluffy owl | E |

| When the oysters gape you may make a note | F |
| She drops a pearl into every throat | F |

| I can see the wind can you do that | G |
| I see the dreams he has in his hat | G |
| I see him shaking them out as he goes | H |
| I see them rush in at man's snoring nose | H |
| Ten thousand things you could not think | I |
| I can write down plain with pen and ink | I |
| - | |
| You know that I know therefore pull off your hat | G |
| Whether round and tall or square and flat | G |
| You cannot do better than trust in me | A |
| You may shut your eyes in fact I see | A |
| Lifelong I will lead you and then like the owl | E |
| I will bury you nicely with my spade and showl | E |
