| Who slowly begin to marshal | B |
| As of old in the fields of heaven | C |
| Your distant melancholy lines | D |

| Are you too what I fear to become | F |
| You too once lived | G |
| You too moved joyfully | H |
| Among august companions | I |

| Night after night your courses | L |
| In echoing unneared silence | L |
| Above a race you know not | N |
| Uncaring and undelighted | N |
| Without friend and without home | O |
| Weary like us though not | N |
| Weary with our weariness | L |
