| Come we say Clemenceau | B |
| Why should you live longer than others The vacuum that sucked | C |
| Us down and the former stars draws at you also | B |

| No wrench for a man near ninety | D |
| They were younger who crowded us out of distinction the year you drove them | E |
| Like flies on a fire We don't say it was wrong | F |
| - | |
| We don't say it was right | G |
| These heavy choices are less than verbal down here to us dead | H |
| Never a thorn in the crown of greatness down here | I |
| - | |
| Not even Wilson laments here | I |
| The cuckoo brood of design This is the cave you conjectured | H |
| Nothing in death as nothing in life surprises you | J |
| - | |
| You were not surprised when France | B |
| Put you aside when the war was finished as a sick man mending | K |
| Puts aside the strong poison that turned his fever | A |
| - | |
| You'd not be surprised to hear | I |
| Your enemies praising your name and the Paris cannon applaud you | J |
| Not surprised nor much pleased nor envious of more | L |
| - | |
| Your negative straightness of mind | H |
| And bleached like a drowned man's cast up thigh bone by eroding age | M |
| Hardly required the clear corrections of death | N |
