| And hearts and bodies brown as white | B |
| Are dust about the doors of friends | A |
| Or scent ablowing down the night | B |
| Then oh then the wise agree | C |
| Comes our immortality | C |
| Mamua there waits a land | D |
| Hard for us to understand | D |
| Out of time beyond the sun | E |
| All are one in Paradise | F |
| You and Pupure are one | E |
| And Tau and the ungainly wise | G |
| There the Eternals are and there | H |
| The Good the Lovely and the True | I |
| And Types whose earthly copies were | J |
| The foolish broken things we knew | I |
| There is the Face whose ghosts we are | K |
| The real the never setting Star | K |
| And the Flower of which we love | L |
| Faint and fading shadows here | M |
| Never a tear but only Grief | N |
| Dance but not the limbs that move | O |
| Songs in Song shall disappear | P |
| Instead of lovers Love shall be | C |
| For hearts Immutability | D |
| And there on the Ideal Reef | N |
| Thunders the Everlasting Sea | C |
| - | |
| And my laughter and my pain | Q |
| Shall home to the Eternal Brain | Q |
| And all lovely things they say | R |
| Meet in Loveliness again | S |
| Miri's laugh Teipo's feet | D |
| And the hands of Matua | D |
| Stars and sunlight there shall meet | D |
| Coral's hues and rainbows there | H |
| And Teura's braided hair | H |
| And with the starred 'tiare's' white | D |
| And white birds in the dark ravine | T |
| And 'flamboyants' ablaze at night | D |
| And jewels and evening's after green | T |
| And dawns of pearl and gold and red | D |
| Mamua your lovelier head | D |
| And there'll no more be one who dreams | U |
| Under the ferns of crumbling stuff | V |
| Eyes of illusion mouth that seems | U |
| All time entangled human love | L |
| And you'll no longer swing and sway | R |
| Divinely down the scented shade | D |
| Where feet to Ambulation fade | D |
| And moons are lost in endless Day | R |
| How shall we wind these wreaths of ours | W |
| Where there are neither heads nor flowers | W |
| Oh Heaven's Heaven but we'll be missing | X |
| The palms and sunlight and the south | Y |
| And there's an end I think of kissing | X |
| When our mouths are one with Mouth | Y |
| - | |
| 'Tau here' Mamua | Z |
| Crown the hair and come away | R |
| Hear the calling of the moon | A2 |
| And the whispering scents that stray | R |
| About the idle warm lagoon | A2 |
| Hasten hand in human hand | D |
| Down the dark the flowered way | R |
| Along the whiteness of the sand | D |
| And in the water's soft caress | B2 |
| Wash the mind of foolishness | C2 |
| Mamua until the day | R |
| Spend the glittering moonlight there | H |
| Pursuing down the soundless deep | D2 |
| Limbs that gleam and shadowy hair | H |
| Or floating lazy half asleep | D2 |
| Dive and double and follow after | J |
| Snare in flowers and kiss and call | E2 |
| With lips that fade and human laughter | J |
| And faces individual | F2 |
| Well this side of Paradise | F |
| There's little comfort in the wise | G |
