Or if the slain think he is slain | B |
They know not well the subtle ways | A |
I keep and pass and turn again | C |

Far or forgot to me is near | D |
Shadow and sunlight are the same | E |

And one to me are shame and fame | E |

When me they fly I am the wings | A |

And pine in vain the sacred Seven | H |
But thou meek lover of the good | I |
Find me and turn thy back on heaven | H |
