| And silence born among these solitudes | B |
| Within whose look there is a secrecy | B |
| Old as these wanderingwoods | B |
| And knowledge cousin to the morning star | C |
| Beyond the things that mar | C |
| And earth itself that on the soul intrudes | B |
| - | |
| How many eons what antiquity | B |
| Went to your making When the world was young | D |
| You yet were old What mighty company | B |
| Of cosmic forces swung | D |
| About you On what wonders have you gazed | E |
| Since first your head was raised | E |
| To greet the Power that here your seed spore flung | D |
| - | |
| The butterfly that woos you and the bee | B |
| That quits the mandrakes' cups to whisper you | F |
| Are in your confidence and sympathy | B |
| As sunlight is and dew | F |
| And the soft music of this woodland stream | G |
| Telling the trees its dream | G |
| That lean attentive its dim face unto | F |

| From out a firmament of green as you | F |
| From out the moss and dew | F |
| Glimmer your starry disc upon my sight | K |
| - | |
| If I might know you have you as the bee | B |
| And butterfly in some more intimate sense | B |
| Or like the brook there talking to the tree | B |
| Win to your confidence | B |
| Then might I grasp it solve it in some wise | B |
| This riddle in disguise | B |
| Named Life through you and your experience | B |
