| And you ye stars | B |
| Who slowly begin to marshal | C |
| As of old in the fields of heaven | D |
| Your distant melancholy lines | E |
| Have you too survived yourselves | F |
| Are you too what I fear to become | G |
| You too once lived | H |
| You too moved joyfully | I |
| Among august companions | J |
| In an older world peopled by Gods | K |
| In a mightier order | L |
| The radiant rejoicing intelligent Sons of Heaven | D |

| Your lonely cold shining lights | M |
| Unwilling lingerers | M |
| In the heavenly wilderness | M |

| And renew by necessity | I |
| Night after night your courses | M |
| In echoing unnear'd silence | M |
| Above a race you know not | O |
| Uncaring and undelighted | O |
| Without friend and without home | P |
| Weary like us though not | O |
| Weary with our weariness | M |
