| - | |
| 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 |
| More endless than desire | F |
| Far God | E |
| Sigh with thy cruel voice that fills | G |
| The soul with longing for dim hills | G |
| And faint horizons For there come | H |
| Grey moments of the antient dumb | H |
| Sickness of travel when no song | I |
| Can cheer us but the way seems long | I |
| And one remembers | J |
| Ah the beat | K |
| Of weary unreturning feet | K |
| And songs of pilgrims unreturning | I |
| The fires we left are always burning | I |
| On the old shrines of home Our kin | L |
| Have built them temples and therein | L |
| Pray to the Gods we know and dwell | M |
| In little houses lovable | N |
| Being happy we remember how | O |
| And peaceful even to death | P |
| O Thou | O |
| God of all long desirous roaming | I |
| Our hearts are sick of fruitless homing | I |
| And crying after lost desire | F |
| Hearten us onward as with fire | F |
| Consuming dreams of other bliss | Q |
| The best Thou givest giving this | Q |
| Sufficient thing to travel still | R |
| 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 |
