| The train The twelve o'clock for paradise | B |
| Hurry or it will try to creep away | C |
| Out in the country every one is wise | D |
| We can be only wise on Saturday | E |
| There you are waiting little friendly house | F |
| Those are your chimney stacks with you between | G |
| Surrounded by old trees and strolling cows | H |
| Staring through all your windows at the green | G |
| Your homely floor is creaking for our tread | I |
| The smiling tea pot with contented spout | J |
| Thinks of the boiling water and the bread | I |
| Longs for the butter All their hands are out | J |
| To greet us and the gentle blankets seem | K |
| Purring and crooning 'Lie in us and dream ' | - |
| - | |

| The key will stammer and the door reply | A |
| The hall wake yawn and smile the torpid stair | L |
| Will grumble at our feet the table cry | A |
| 'Fetch my belongings for me I am bare ' | - |
| A clatter Something in the attic falls | M |
| A ghost has lifted up his robes and fled | I |
| The loitering shadows move along the walls | M |
| Then silence very slowly lifts his head | I |
| The starling with impatient screech has flown | N |
| The chimney and is watching from the tree | E |
| They thought us gone for ever mouse alone | N |
| Stops in the middle of the floor to see | E |
| Now all you idle things resume your toil | O |
| Hearth put your flames on Sulky kettle boil | O |

| Contented evening comfortable joys | P |
| The snoozing fire and all the fields are still | Q |
| Tranquil delight no purpose and no noise | P |
| Unless the slow wind flowing round the hill | Q |
| 'Murry' the kettle dozes little mouse | F |
| Is rambling prudently about the floor | R |
| There's lovely conversation in this house | F |
| Words become princes that were slaves before | R |
| What a sweet atmosphere for you and me | E |
| The people that have been here left behind | S |
| Oh but I fear it may turn out to be | E |
| Built of a dream erected in the mind | S |
| So if we speak too loud we may awaken | T |
| To find it vanished and ourselves mistaken | T |

| - | |
| Lift up the curtain carefully All the trees | U |
| Stand in the dark like drowsy sentinels | V |
| The oak is talkative to night he tells | W |
| The little bushes crowding at his knees | U |
| That formidable hard voluminous | X |
| History of growth from acorn into age | Y |
| They titter like school children they arouse | H |
| Their comrades who exclaim 'He is very sage ' | - |
| Look how the moon is staring through that cloud | Z |
| Laying and lifting idle streaks of light | A2 |
| O hark was that the monstrous wind so loud | Z |
| And sudden prowling always through the night | A2 |
| Let down the shaking curtain They are queer | B2 |
| Those foreigners They and we live so near | B2 |

| V | - |
| - | |
| Come come to bed The shadows move about | J |
| And some one seems to overhear our talk | C2 |
| The fire is low the candles flicker out | J |
| The ghosts of former tenants want to walk | C2 |
| Already they are shuffling through the gloom | D2 |
| I felt an old man touch my shoulder blade | E2 |
| Once he was married here they love this room | D2 |
| He and his woman and the child they made | E2 |
| Dead dead they are yet some familiar sound | F2 |
| Creeping along the brink of happy life | - |
| Revives their memory from under ground | F2 |
| The farmer and his troublesome old wife | - |
| Let us be going as we climb the stairs | G2 |
| They'll sit down in our warm half empty chairs | G2 |

| Morning Wake up Awaken All the boughs | H |
| Are rippling on the air across the green | G |
| The youngest birds are singing to the house | F |
| Blood of the world and is the country clean | G |
| Disturb the precinct Cool it with a shout | J |
| Sing as you trundle down to light the fire | H2 |
| Turn the encumbering shadows tumbling out | J |
| And fill the chambers with a new desire | H2 |
| Life is no good unless the morning brings | I2 |
| White happiness and quick delight of day | C |
| These half inanimate domestic things | I2 |
| Must all be useful or must go away | C |
| Coffee be fragrant Porridge in my plate | J2 |
| Increase the vigour to fulfil my fate | J2 |

| The fresh air moves like water round a boat | K2 |
| The white clouds wander Let us wander too | L2 |
| The whining wavering plover flap and float | K2 |
| That crow is flying after that cuckoo | L2 |
| Look Look They're gone What are the great trees calling | M2 |
| Just come a little farther by that edge | N2 |
| Of green to where the stormy ploughland falling | M2 |
| Wave upon wave is lapping to the hedge | N2 |
| Oh what a lovely bank Give me your hand | O2 |
| Lie down and press your heart against the ground | F2 |
| Let us both listen till we understand | O2 |
| Each through the other every natural sound | F2 |
| I can't hear anything to day can you | L2 |
| But far and near 'Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo ' | - |

| The everlasting grass how bright how cool | P2 |
| The day has gone too suddenly too soon | Q2 |
| There's something white and shiny in that pool | P2 |
| Throw in a stone and you will hit the moon | Q2 |
| Listen the church bell ringing Do not say | C |
| We must go back to morrow to our work | R2 |
| We'll tell them we are dead we died to day | C |
| We're lazy We're too happy We will shirk | R2 |
| We're cows We're kettles We'll be anything | M2 |
| Except the manikins of time and fear | B2 |
| We'll start away to morrow wandering | M2 |
| And nobody will notice in a year | B2 |
| Now the great sun is slipping under ground | F2 |
| Grip firmly How the earth is whirling round | F2 |

| IX | C |
| - | |
| Be staid be careful and be not too free | - |
| Temptation to enjoy your liberty | - |
| May rise against you break into a crime | S2 |
| And smash the habit of employing Time | S2 |
| It serves no purpose that the careful clock | T2 |
| Mark the appointment the officious train | U2 |
| Hurry to keep it if the minutes mock | T2 |
| Loud in your ear 'Late Late Late Late again ' | - |
| Week end is very well on Saturday | - |
| On Monday it's a different affair | L |
| A little episode a trivial stay | C |
| In some oblivious spot somehow somewhere | L |
| On Sunday night we hardly laugh or speak | V2 |
| Week end begins to merge itself in Week | V2 |

| X | C |
| - | |
| Pack up the house and close the creaking door | R |
| The fields are dull this morning in the rain | U2 |
| It's difficult to leave that homely floor | R |
| Wave a light hand we will return again | W2 |
| What was that bird Good bye ecstatic tree | - |
| Floating bursting and breathing on the air | L |
| The lonely farm is wondering that we | - |
| Can leave How every window seems to stare | L |
| That bag is heavy Share it for a bit | X2 |
| You like that gentle swashing of the ground | F2 |
| As we tread | I |
| It is over Now we sit | X2 |
| Reading the morning paper in the sound | F2 |
| Of the debilitating heavy train | U2 |
| London again again London again | W2 |
