| Yet striving for release | B |
| The most delighting string's | B |
| Sweet jargonings | B |
| The happiest throat's | B |
| Most easeful lovely notes | B |
| Fall back into a veiling silentness | B |
| - | |
| Even 'mid the rumour of a moving host | C |
| Blackening the clear green earth | D |
| Vainly 'gainst that thin wall | E |
| The trumpets call | E |
| Or with loud hum | F |
| The smoke bemuffled drum | F |
| From that high quietness no reply comes forth | G |

| When all at peace two friends at ease alone | H |
| Talk out their hearts yet still | I |
| Between the grace notes of | J |
| The voice of love | J |
| From each to each | K |
| Trembles a rarer speech | K |
| And with its presence every pause doth fill | I |
| - | |
| Unmoved it broods this all encompassing hush | L |
| Of one who stooping near | M |
| No smallest stir will make | N |
| Our fear to wake | N |
| But yet intent | O |
| Upon some mystery bent | O |
| Hearkens the lightest word we say or hear | A |
