| The bitter waves roll | B |
| With the bergs of the Pole | B |
| And the darks and the damps of the Northern Sea | C |
| For the storm cloven Cape | A |
| Is an alien Shape | A |
| With a fearful face and it moans and it stands | D |
| Outside all lands | D |
| Everlastingly | B |
| - | |
| When the fruits of the year | E |
| Have been gathered in Spain | F |
| And the Indian rain | F |
| Is rich on the evergreen lands of the Sun | G |
| There comes to this Cape | A |
| To this alien Shape | A |
| As the waters beat in and the echoes troop forth | H |
| The Wind of the North | H |
| Euroclydon | G |
| - | |
| And the wilted thyme | I |
| And the patches past | J |
| Of the nettles cast | J |
| In the drift of the rift and the broken rime | I |
| Are tumbled and blown | G |
| To every zone | G |
| With the famished glede and the plovers thinned | K |
| By this fourfold Wind | L |
| This Wind sublime | I |
| - | |
| On the wrinkled hills | M |
| By starts and fits | N |
| The wild Moon sits | N |
| And the rindles fill and flash and fall | B |
| In the way of her light | O |
| Through the straitened night | O |
| When the sea heralds clamour and elves of the war | P |
| In the torrents afar | Q |
| Hold festival | B |
| - | |
| From ridge to ridge | R |
| The polar fires | S |
| On the naked spires | T |
| With a foreign splendour flit and flow | B |
| And clough and cave | U |
| And architrave | U |
| Have a blood coloured glamour on roof and on wall | B |
| Like a nether hall | B |
| In the hells below | B |
| - | |
| The dead dry lips | V |
| Of the ledges split | W |
| By the thunder fit | W |
| And the stress of the sprites of the forked flame | I |
| Anon break out | X |
| With a shriek and a shout | X |
| Like a hard bitter laughter cracked and thin | G |
| From a ghost with a sin | G |
| Too dark for a name | I |
| - | |
| And all thro' the year | E |
| The fierce seas run | G |
| From sun to sun | G |
| Across the face of a vacant world | Y |
| And the Wind flies forth | H |
| From the wild white North | H |
| That shivers and harries the heart of things | Z |
| And shapes with its wings | Z |
| A chaos uphurled | Y |
| - | |
| Like one who sees | A2 |
| A rebel light | Y |
| In the thick of the night | Y |
| As he stumbles and staggers on summits afar | Q |
| Who looks to it still | B |
| Up hill and hill | B |
| With a steadfast hope though the ways be deep | B2 |
| And rough and steep | B2 |
| Like a steadfast star | Q |
| - | |
| So I that stand | Y |
| On the outermost peaks | C2 |
| Of peril with cheeks | C2 |
| Blue with the salts of a frosty sea | C |
| Have learnt to wait | Y |
| With an eye elate | Y |
| And a heart intent for the fuller blaze | D2 |
| Of the Beauty that rays | D2 |
| Like a glimpse for me | C |
| - | |
| Of the Beauty that grows | E2 |
| Whenever I hear | F2 |
| The winds of Fear | E |
| From the tops and the bases of barrenness call | B |
| And the duplicate lore | P |
| Which I learn evermore | P |
| Is of Harmony filling and rounding the Storm | I |
| And the marvellous Form | I |
| That governs all | B |
