| See where the auras from the olden fountain | A |
| Starward aspire | C |
| The sacred sign upon the holy mountain | A |
| Shines in white fire | D |
| Waving and flaming yonder o'er the snows | E |
| The diamond light | F |
| Melts into silver or to sapphire glows | E |
| Night beyond night | F |
| And from the heaven of heavens descends on earth | G |
| A dew divine | A |
| Come let us mingle in the starry mirth | G |
| Around the shrine | A |
| Enchantress mighty mother to our home | H |
| In thee we press | I |
| Thrilled by the fiery breath and wrapt in some | B |
| Vast tenderness | J |
| The homeward birds uncertain o'er their nest | K |
| Wheel in the dome | H |
| Fraught with dim dreams of more enraptured rest | K |
| Wheel in the dome | H |
| But gather ye to whose undarkened eyes | L |
| The night is day | M |
| Leap forth Immortals Birds of Paradise | N |
| In bright array | M |
| Robed like the shining tresses of the sun | A |
| And by his name | O |
| Call from his haunt divine the ancient one | A |
| Our Father Flame | O |
| Aye from the wonder light that wraps the star | P |
| Come now come now | A |
| Sun breathing Dragon ray thy lights afar | P |
| Thy children bow | A |
| Hush with more awe the breath the bright browed races | Q |
| Are nothing worth | G |
| By those dread gods from out whose awful faces | Q |
| The earth looks forth | R |
| Infinite pity set in calm their vision cast | S |
| Adown the years | T |
| Beholds how beauty burns away at last | S |
| Their children's tears | U |
| Now while our hearts the ancient quietness | J |
| Floods with its tide | V |
| The things of air and fire and height no less | I |
| In it abide | V |
| And from their wanderings over sea and shore | W |
| They rise as one | A |
| Unto the vastness and with us adore | W |
| The midnight sun | A |
| And enter the innumerable All | X |
| And shine like gold | Y |
| And starlike gleam in the immortals' hall | X |
| The heavenly fold | Y |
| And drink the sun breaths from the mother's lips | Z |
| Awhile and then | A |
| Fail from the light and drop in dark eclipse | Z |
| To earth again | A |
| Roaming along by heaven hid promontory | W |
| And valley dim | A2 |
| Weaving a phantom image of the glory | W |
| They knew in Him | A2 |
| Out of the fulness flow the winds their son | A |
| Is heard no more | W |
| Or hardly breathes a mystic sound along | B2 |
| The dreamy shore | W |
| Blindly they move unknowing as in trance | C2 |
| Their wandering | D2 |
| Is half with us and half an inner dance | C2 |
| Led by the King | D2 |
