| the house is behind me settling | G |

| by the backroad where the stones glowed pale | K |
| in the moonlight I was too young I still thought | L |
| I belonged to the world But now | M |
| - | |
| quartered in this house watching the neighbors' children | B |
| turn to dusk I feel | N |
| I'm ready Come back | O |
| - | |
| and bring your finest wine the oldest bottle | P |
| Bring that strange dusty book you were reading | G |
