| What light of unremembered skies | B |
| Hast thou relumed within our eyes | B |
| Thou whom we seek whom we shall find | C |
| A certain odour on the wind | C |
| Thy hidden face beyond the west | D |
| These things have called us on a quest | D |
| Older than any road we trod | E |

| Far God | E |
| Sigh with thy cruel voice that fills | G |
| The soul with longing for dim hills | G |

| Sickness of travel when no song | I |
| Can cheer us but the way seems long | I |

| Over the plain beyond the hill | R |
| Unhesitating through the shade | S |
| Amid the silence unafraid | S |
| Till at some sudden turn one sees | A |
| Against the black and muttering trees | A |
| Thine altar wonderfully white | T |
| Among the Forests of the Night | T |
