| In spirit better through the land | B |
| This morn of Rome and May | A |
| - | |
| For me I touched a thought I know | C |
| Has tantalized me many times | D |
| Like turns of thread the spiders throw | C |
| Mocking across our path for rhymes | D |
| To catch at and let go | C |
| - | |
| Help me to hold it First it left | E |
| The yellow fennel run to seed | F |
| There branching from the brickwork's cleft | E |
| Some old tomb's ruin yonder weed | F |
| Took up the floating weft | F |
| - | |
| Where one small orange cup amassed | F |
| Five beetles blind and green they grope | G |
| Among the honey meal and last | F |
| Everywhere on the grassy slope | G |
| O traced it Hold it fast | F |
| - | |
| The champaign with its endless fleece | H |
| Of feathery grasses everywhere | I |

| An everlasting wash of air | I |
| Rome's ghost since her decease | H |
| - | |

| Nor yours nor mine nor slave nor free | M |
| Where does the fault lie What the core | N |
| O' the wound since wound must be | M |
| - | |
| I would I could adopt your will | O |
| See with your eyes and set my heart | F |
| Beating by yours and drink my fill | O |
| At your soul's springs your part my part | F |
| In life for good and ill | O |

| No I yearn upward touch you close | P |
| Then stand away I kiss your cheek | Q |
| Catch your soul's warmth I pluck the rose | R |

| Then the good minute goes | R |
| - | |
| Already how am I so far | S |
| Our of that minute Must I go | C |
| Still like the thistle ball no bar | S |
| Onward whenever light winds blow | C |
| Fixed by no friendly star | S |
| - | |
| Just when I seemed about to learn | T |
| Where is the thread now Off again | U |
| The Old trick Only I discern | T |
| Infinite passion and the pain | V |
| Of finite hearts that yearn | T |
