| To solace through his daily strife | B |
| With some mysterious Mental Blending | A |
| The hungry loneliness of life | B |
| - | |
| Until by sudden passion shaken | C |
| As terriers shake a rat at play | D |
| He finds all blindly he has taken | C |
| The old Hereditary way | D |
| - | |
| Yet in the moment of communion | C |
| The very heart of passion's fire | E |
| His spirit spurns the mortal union | C |
| Not this not this the Soul's desire | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| Oh You by whom my life is riven | C |
| And reft away from my control | F |
| Take back the hours of passion given | C |
| Love me one moment from your soul | F |
| - | |
| Although I once in ardent fashion | C |
| Implored you long to give me this | G |
| In hopes to stem or stifle passion | C |
| Your hair to touch your lips to kiss | G |
| - | |
| Now that your gracious self has granted | H |
| The loveliness you hold as naught | I |
| I find alas not that I wanted | H |
| Possession has not stifled Thought | I |
| - | |
| Desire its aim has only shifted | H |
| Built hopes upon another plan | J |
| And I in love for you have drifted | H |
| Beyond all passion known to man | J |
| - | |
| Beyond all dreams of soft caresses | K |
| The solacing of any kiss | G |
| Beyond the fragrance of your tresses | K |
| Once I had sold my soul for this | G |
| - | |
| But now I crave no mortal union | C |
| Thanks for that sweetness in the past | L |
| I need some subtle strange communion | C |
| Some sense that I join you at last | L |
| - | |
| Long past the pulse and pain of passion | C |
| Long left the limits of all love | M |
| I crave some nearer fuller fashion | C |
| Some unknown way beyond above | M |
| - | |
| Some infinitely inner fusion | C |
| As Wave with Water Flame with Fire | E |
| Let me dream once the dear delusion | C |
| That I am You Oh Heart's Desire | E |
| - | |
| Your kindness lent to my caresses | K |
| That beauty you so lightly prize | N |
| The midnight of your sable tresses | K |
| The twilight of your shadowed eyes | N |
| - | |
| Ah for that gift all thanks are given | C |
| Yet Oh adored beyond control | F |
| Count all the passionate past forgiven | C |
| And love me once once from your soul | F |
