| Here were new idols again to praise him | B |
| - | |
| I made them alive but when they looked up at the face before | C |
| they had seen it they were drunken and fell down | D |
| - | |
| I have seen and not fallen I am stronger than the idols | A |
| - | |
| But my tongue is stone how could I speak him My blood in my | E |
| veins is seawater how could it catch fire | F |
| - | |
| The rock shining dark rays and the rounded | G |
| - | |
| Crystal the ocean his beam of blackness and silence | A |
| - | |
| Edged with azure bordered with voices | A |
| - | |
| The moon her brittle tranquillity the great phantoms the foun | D |
| tains of light the seed of the sky | E |
| - | |
| Their plaintive splendors whistling to each other | F |
| - | |
| There is nothing but shines though it shine darkness nothing but | H |
| answers they are caught in the net of their voices | A |

| Though the voices be silence they are woven in the nerve warp | I |

| In the atom in the rings of the spinning demons | A |

| I made glass puppets to speak of him they splintered in my hand | L |
| and have cut me they are heavy with my blood | G |
| - | |
| But the jewel eyed herons have never beheld him | B |
| - | |
| Nor heard nor the tall owl with cat's ears the bittern in the | M |
| willows the squid in the rock in the silence of the ocean | D |
| - | |
| The vulture that broods in the pitch of the blue | N |
| - | |
| And sees the earth globed her edges dripping into rainbow twi | O |
| lights eyed hungers blind fragments I sometime | P |
| - | |
| Shall fashion images great enough to face him | B |
| - | |
| A moment and speak while they die These here have gone mad | J |
| but stammer the tragedy you crackled vessels | A |
