| Thou wilt not sentence to eternal life | B |
| My soul that prays that it may sleep and sleep | C |
| Like a white statue dropped into the deep | C |
| Covered with sand covered with chests of gold | D |
| And slave bones tossed from many a pirate hold | D |
| - | |
| But for this prayer thou wilt not bind in Hell | E |
| My soul that shook with love for Fame and Truth | F |
| In Such unquenched desires consumed his youth | F |
| Let me turn dust like dead leaves in the Fall | G |
| Or wood that lights an hour your knightly hall | G |
| - | |
| Amen | H |
