| The triangular hill that hung | B |
| Under the Big Forth They said | C |

| But I knew that love's doorway to life | F |
| Is the same doorway everywhere | G |

| The dew of an Indian Summer lies | K |
| On bleached potato stalks | L |

| I am no mortal age | O |
| I know nothing of women | P |
| Nothing of cities | Q |
| I cannot die | M |
| Unless I walk outside these whitethorn hedges | D |
