| I had come to the house in a cave of trees | B |
| Facing a sheer sky | C |
| Everything moved a bell hung ready to strike | D |
| Sun and reflection wheeled by | C |
| - | |
| When the bare eyes were before me | E |
| And the hissing hair | F |
| Held up at a window seen through a door | G |
| The stiff bald eyes the serpents on the forehead | H |
| Formed in the air | F |
| - | |
| This is a dead scene forever now | I |
| Nothing will ever stir | J |
| The end will never brighten it more than this | K |
| Nor the rain blur | J |
| - | |
| The water will always fall and will not fall | L |
| And the tipped bell make no sound | M |
| The grass will always be growing for hay | N |
| Deep on the ground | M |
| - | |
| And I shall stand here like a shadow | O |
| Under the great balanced day | N |
| My eyes on the yellow dust that was lifting in the wind | P |
| And does not drift away | N |
