| A spiritual thing | B |
| Stirless until the yet unlooked for day | A |
| Of human birth | C |
| Should call me from thy starry twilight Earth | C |
| And did thy bosom rock and clear voice sing | B |
| I know not now no more a spiritual thing | B |
| Nor then thy breathed Adieu | D |
| I rightly knew | D |
| - | |
| Until those human kind arms caught | E |
| And nursed my head | F |
| Upon her breast who from the twilight brought | G |
| This stranger me | H |
| Mother it were yet happiness to be | H |
| Within your arms but now that you are dead | F |
| Your memory sleeps in mine so mine is comforted | I |
| Though I breathed dear Adieu | D |
| Unheard by you | D |
| - | |
| And I have gathered to my breast | J |
| Wife mistress child | K |
| Affections insecure but tenderest | K |
| Of all that clutch | L |
| Man's heart with their Too little and Too much | L |
| O what anxieties what passions wild | K |
| Bind and unbind me what storms never to be stilled | K |
| Until Adieu Adieu | K |
| Breathe the night through | K |
| - | |
| O when all last farewells are said | K |
| To these most dear | M |
| O when within my purged heart peace is shed | K |
| When these old sweet | K |
| Humanities move out on hushing feet | K |
| And all is hush then in that silence clear | M |
| Who is it comes again near and near and near | M |
| Even while the sighed Adieu | K |
| Fades the hush through | K |
| - | |
| O is it on thy breast I fall | N |
| A spiritual thing | B |
| Once more and hear with ear insensual | N |
| The voice of primal Earth | C |
| Breathed gently as on Eden faint airs forth | O |
| And so contented to thy bosom cling | B |
| Though all those loves are gone nor faithful echoes ring | B |
| Nor fond Adieu Adieu | K |
| My parted spirit pursue | K |
| - | |
| So hidden in green darkness deep | P |
| Feel when I wake | Q |
| The tides of night and day upon thee sweep | P |
| And know thy forehead bared before the East | K |
| And hear thy forests hushing in the West | K |
| And in thy bosom Earth the slow heart shake | Q |
| But hear no more the infinite forest murmurs break | Q |
| Into Adieu Adieu | K |
| No more Adieu | K |
