| Alone with the enduring Earth and Night | B |
| And Silence and the warm strange smell of clover | C |
| Clear visioned though it break you far apart | A |
| From the dead best the dear and old delight | B |
| Throw down your dreams of immortality | D |
| O faithful O foolish lover | C |
| Here's peace for you and surety here the one | E |
| Wisdom the truth All day the good glad sun | E |
| Showers love and labour on you wine and song | F |
| The greenwood laughs the wind blows all day long | F |
| Till night And night ends all things | G |
| Then shall be | D |
| No lamp relumed in heaven no voices crying | H |
| Or changing lights or dreams and forms that hover | C |
| And heart for all your sighing | H |
| That gladness and those tears are over over | C |

| And has the truth brought no new hope at all | I |
| Heart that you're weeping yet for Paradise | J |

| Strain through the dark with undesirous eyes | K |
| To what may lie beyond it Sets your star | P |
| O heart for ever Yet behind the night | B |
| Waits for the great unborn somewhere afar | P |
| Some white tremendous daybreak And the light | B |
| Returning shall give back the golden hours | Q |
| Ocean a windless level Earth a lawn | R |
| Spacious and full of sunlit dancing places | S |
| And laughter and music and among the flowers | Q |
| The gay child hearts of men and the child faces | S |
| O heart in the great dawn | R |
