| Leaping and running in this world | D |
| Where dark horned cattle stare | B |

| Where dark horned cattle stare hoof firm | E |
| On the dark pavements of the sky | F |
| And trees are mummies swathed in sleep | G |
| And small dark hills crowd wearily | H |
| Soft multitudes of snow grey clouds | I |
| Without a sound march by | F |
| - | |
| Down at the bottom of the road | J |

| Of that cold spirit in the grass | L |
| And leave my hill top camp | K |
| Its long gun pointing in the sky | F |
| And take the Moon for lamp | K |
| - | |
| I stop beside the bright cold glint | M |
| Of that thin spirit in the grass | L |
| So gay it is so innocent | N |

| Hid in the dew hung grass | L |

| My lamp shines in the globes of dew | P |
| And leaps into that crystal wind | C |
| Running along the shaken grass | L |
| To each dark hole that it can find | C |
| The crystal wind the Moon my lamp | K |
| Have vanished in a wood that's blind | C |
| - | |
| High lies my small my shadowy camp | K |
| Crowded about by small dark hills | Q |
| With sudden small white flowers the sky | F |
| Above the woods' dark greenness fills | Q |
| And hosts of dark browed muttering trees | R |
| In trance the white Moon stills | Q |
| - | |
| I move among their tall grey forms | S |
| A thin moon glimmering wandering Ghost | T |
| Who takes his lantern through the world | D |
| In search of life that he has lost | U |
| While watching by that long lean gun | V |
| Up on his small hill post | T |
