| A year ago we walked in the jangling city | D |
| Together forgetful | E |
| One by one we crossed the avenues | F |
| Rivers of light roaring in tumult | G |
| And came to the narrow knotted streets | H |
| Thru the tense crowd | I |
| We went aloof ecstatic walking in wonder | J |
| Unconscious of our motion | B |
| Forever the foreign people with dark deep seeing eyes | K |
| Passed us and passed | L |
| Lights and foreign words and foreign faces | M |
| I forgot them all | N |
| I only felt alive defiant of all death and sorrow | O |
| Sure and elated | P |
| - | |
| That was the gift you gave me | D |
| - | |
| The streets grew still more tangled | Q |
| And led at last to water black and glossy | D |
| Flecked here and there with lights faint and far off | R |
| There on a shabby building was a sign | S |
| The India Wharf and we turned back | T |
| - | |
| I always felt we could have taken ship | U |
| And crossed the bright green seas | V |
| To dreaming cities set on sacred streams | W |
| And palaces | M |
| Of ivory and scarlet | X |
