| Who've told me of the crows my fosterer | D |
| And you old woman upon whose lap I've lain | Q |
| When I was taken from my mother's lap | R |
| And you young girl with looks that have come down | S |
| From forefathers my kin ye have another life | T |
| I've glimpsed it I becoming trespasser | D |
| Blackness in darkness flying like the crows | U |
