| For shelter nor have travelled far before | I |
| Giselda half despaired for weariness | K |
| Feels on her fingers Raymond lightly press | J |
| Heavy above the surging wind's uproar | I |
| With a dull echo clanging now then drowned | L |
| Reverberates a sullen stormy sound | L |

| What heart so fixed that darkness cannot shock | M |
| When the mind stumbles with the blind footfall | N |
| What world may not a random s | J |
