| they sing this beneath the trees | B |
| - | |
| What light of unremembered skies | C |
| Hast thou relumed within our eyes | C |
| Thou whom we seek whom we shall find | D |
| A certain odour on the wind | D |
| Thy hidden face beyond the west | E |
| These things have called us on a quest | E |
| Older than any road we trod | F |
| More endless than desire | G |
| Far God | F |
| Sigh with thy cruel voice that fills | H |
| The soul with longing for dim hills | H |
| And faint horizons For there come | I |
| Grey moments of the antient dumb | I |
| Sickness of travel when no song | J |
| Can cheer us but the way seems long | J |
| And one remembers | K |
| Ah the beat | L |
| Of weary unreturning feet | L |
| And songs of pilgrims unreturning | J |
| The fires we left are always burning | J |
| On the old shrines of home Our kin | M |

| In little houses lovable | O |
| Being happy we remember how | P |
| And peaceful even to death | Q |
| O Thou | P |
| God of all long desirous roaming | J |
| Our hearts are sick of fruitless homing | J |
| And crying after lost desire | G |
| Hearten us onward as with fire | G |
| Consuming dreams of other bliss | R |
| The best Thou givest giving this | R |
| Sufficient thing to travel still | S |
| Over the plain beyond the hill | S |
| Unhesitating through the shade | T |
| Amid the silence unafraid | T |
| Till at some sudden turn one sees | B |
| Against the black and muttering trees | B |
| Thine altar wonderfully white | U |
| Among the Forests of the Night | U |
