| Tide rocks lift streaming shoulders | B |
| Out of the slack the slow west | C |
| Sombering its torch a ship's light | D |
| Shows faintly far out | E |
| Over the weight of the prone ocean | A |
| On the low cloud | F |
| - | |
| Over the dark mountain over the dark pinewood | F |
| Down the long dark valley along the shrunken river | G |
| Returns the splendor without rays the shining of shadow | F |
| Peace bringer the matrix of all shining and quieter of shining | H |
| Where the shore widens on the bay she opens dark wings | I |
| And the ocean accepts her glory O soul worshipful of her | G |
| You like the ocean have grave depths where she dwells always | J |
| And the film of waves above that takes the sun takes also | F |
| Her with more love The sun lovers have a blond favorite | F |
| A father of lights and noises wars weeping and laughter | G |
| Hot labor lust and delight and the other blemishes Quietness | K |
| Flows from her deeper fountain and he will die and she is | L |
| immortal | M |
| - | |
| Far off from here the slender | G |
| Flocks of the mountain forest | F |
| Move among stems like towers | B |
| Of the old redwoods to the stream | N |
| No twig crackling dip shy | O |
| Wild muzzles into the mountain water | G |
| Among the dark ferns | P |
| O passionately at peace you being secure will pardon | A |
| The blasphemies of glowworms the lamp in my tower the | Q |
| fretfulness | P |
| Of cities the cressets of the planets the pride of the stars | P |
| This August night in a rift of cloud Antares reddens | P |
| The great one the ancient torch a lord among lost children | A |
| The earth's orbit doubled would not girdle his greatness one fire | G |
| Globed out of grasp of the mind enormous but to you O Night | F |
| What Not a spark What flicker of a spark in the faint far | R |
| glimmer | G |
| Of a lost fire dying in the desert dim coals of a sand pit the | Q |
| Bedouins | P |
| Wandered from at dawn Ah singing prayer to what gulfs | P |
| tempted | F |
| Suddenly are you more lost To us the near hand mountain | A |
| Be a measure of height the tide worn cliff at the sea gate a | Q |
| measure of continuance | P |
| - | |
| The tide moving the night's | P |
| Vastness with lonely voices | P |
| Turns the deep dark shining | H |
| Pacific leans on the land | F |
| Feeling his cold strength | S |
| To the outmost margins you Night will resume | T |
| The stars in your time | U |
| - | |
| O passionately at peace when will that tide draw shoreward | F |
| Truly the spouting fountains of light Antares Arcturus | P |
| Tire of their flow they sing one song but they think silence | P |
| The striding winter giant Orion shines and dreams darkness | P |
| And life the flicker of men and moths and the wolf on the hill | V |
| Though furious for continuance passionately feeding passionately | W |
| Remaking itself upon its mates remembers deep inward | F |
| The calm mother the quietness of the womb and the egg | X |
| The primal and the latter silences dear Night it is memory | W |
| Prophesies prophecy that remembers the charm of the dark | Y |
| And I and my people we are willing to love the four score years | P |
| Heartily but as a sailor loves the sea when the helm is for harbor | G |
| Have men's minds changed | F |
| Or the rock hidden in the deep of the waters of the soul | Z |
| Broken the surface A few centuries | P |
| Gone by was none dared not to people | M |
| The darkness beyond the stars with harps and habitations | P |
| But now dear is the truth Life is grown sweeter and lonelier | G |
| And death is no evil | M |
