| Facing winds and sleets and waters flying glimpses of the sea | A |
| Down amongst the hills of tempest where the elves of tumult roam | B |
| Blown wet shadows of the summits dim sonorous sprites of foam | B |
| Here and here my days are wasted shorn of leaf and stript of fruit | C |
| Vexed because of speech half spoken maiden with the marvellous lute | C |
| Vexed because of songs half shapen smit with fire and mixed with pain | D |
| Part of thee and part of Sorrow like a sunset pale with rain | D |
| Child of Light the bright the bird like wilt thou float and float to me | A |
| Facing winds and sleets and waters flying glimpses of the sea | A |

| All night long in fluent pauses falling far but full but fine | E |
| Faultless friend of flowers and fountains do I hear that voice of thine | E |
| All night long amidst the burden of the lordly storm that sings | F |
| High above the tumbled forelands fleet and fierce with thunderings | F |
| Then and then my love Euterpe lips of life replete with dreams | F |
| Murmur for thy sweet sharp fragments dying down Lethean streams | F |
| Murmur for thy mouth s marred music splendid hints that burn and break | G |
| Heavy with excess of beauty murmur for thy music s sake | G |
| All night long in fluent pauses falling far but full but fine | E |
| Faultless friend of flowers and fountains do I hear that voice of thine | E |

| In the yellow flame of evening sound of thee doth come and go | H |
| Through the noises of the river and the drifting of the snow | H |
| In the yellow flame of evening at the setting of the day | I |
| Sound that lightens falls and lightens flickers faints and fades away | I |
| I am famished of thy silence broken for the tender note | J |
| Caught with its surpassing passion caught and strangled in thy throat | J |
| We have nought to help thy trouble nought for that which lieth mute | C |
| On the harpstring and the lutestring and the spirit of the lute | C |
| In the yellow flame of evening sound of thee doth come and go | H |
| Through the noises of the river and the drifting of the snow | H |

| Daughter of the dead red summers Men that laugh and men that weep | K |
| Call thee Music shall I follow choose their name and turn and sleep | K |
| What thou art behold I know not but thy honey slakes and slays | F |
| Half the want which whitens manhood in the stress of alien days | F |
| Even as a wondrous woman struck with love and great desire | L |
| Hast thou been to me Euterpe half of tears and half of fire | L |
| But thy joy is swift and fitful and a subtle sense of pain | D |
| Sighs through thy melodious breathing takes the rapture from thy strain | D |
| Daughter of the dead red summers Men that laugh and men that weep | K |
| Call thee Music shall I follow choose their name and turn and sleep | K |
