| house by the road to the market | B |
| town | C |
| They moor their laden boats near | D |
| my trees | E |
| They come and go and wander at | F |
| their will | G |
| I sit and watch them my time | H |
| wears on | I |
| Turn them away I cannot And | J |
| thus my days pass by | A |
| Night and day their steps sound | K |
| by my door | L |
| Vainly I cry I do not know | M |
| you | N |
| Some of them are known to my | A |
| fingers some to my nostrils the | O |
| blood in my veins seems to know | M |
| them and some are known to my | A |
| dreams | P |
| Turn them away I cannot I call | Q |
| them and say Come to my house | R |
| whoever chooses Yes come | S |
| In the morning the bell rings in the | O |
| temple | T |
| They come with their baskets in | U |
| their hands | V |
| Their feet are rosy red The early | W |
| light of dawn is on their faces | X |
| Turn them away I cannot I call | Q |
| them and I say Come to my garden | Y |
| to gather flowers Come hither | Z |
| In the mid day the gong sounds | A2 |
| at the palace gate | B2 |
| I know not why they leave their | C2 |
| work and linger near my hedge | D2 |
| The flowers in their hair are pale | E2 |
| and faded the notes are languid in | U |
| their flutes | F2 |
| Turn them away I cannot I call | Q |
| them and say The shade is cool | G2 |
| under my trees Come friends | H2 |
| At night the crickets chirp in the | O |
| woods | I2 |
| Who is it that comes slowly to my | A |
| door and gently knocks | J2 |
| I vaguely see the face not a word | K2 |
| is spoken the stillness of the sky is | L2 |
| all around | K |
| Turn away my silent guest I | A |
| cannot I look at the face through the | O |
| dark and hours of dreams pass by | A |
