| Anashuya See how the sacred old flamingoes come | Z |
| Painting with shadow all the marble steps | A2 |
| Aged and wise they seek their wonted perches | B2 |
| Within the temple devious walking made | I |
| To wander by their melancholy minds | C2 |
| Yon tall one eyes my supper chase him away | D2 |
| Far far away I named him after you | N |
| He is a famous fisher hour by hour | H |
| He ruffles with his bill the minnowed streams | E2 |

| Now cuff him off He's off A kiss for you | N |
| Because you saved my rice Have you no thanks | F2 |

| Where men lie frozen in the glimmering snow | E |
| And in the flaming forests cower the lion | A |
| And lioness with all their whimpering cubs | N2 |
| And ever pacing on the verge of things | O2 |
| The phantom Beauty in a mist of tears | K2 |
| While we alone have round us woven woods | P2 |
| And feel the softness of each other's hand | I |
| Amrita while | Q2 |

| Dread oath who dwell on sacred Himalay | Q2 |
| On the far Golden peak enormous shapes | U2 |
| Who still were old when the great sea was young | V2 |
| On their vast faces mystery and dreams | E2 |
| Their hair along the mountains rolled and filled | I |
| From year to year by the unnumbered nests | W2 |

| The joyous flocks of deer and antelope | X2 |
| Who never hear the unforgiving hound | I |
| Swear | J2 |

| Anashuya sings I have forgiven O new star | H2 |
| Maybe you have not heard of us you have come forth so newly | Q2 |
| You hunter of the fields afar | H2 |
| Ah you will know my loved one by his hunter's arrows | R |
| truly | Q2 |
| Shoot on him shafts of quietness that he may ever keep | Y2 |
| A lonely laughter and may kiss his hands to me in sleep | Y2 |
| - | |
| Farewell Vijaya Nay no word no word | I |
| I priestess of this temple offer up | P |
| Prayers for the land | I |
| Vijaya goes | R |
| O Brahma guard in sleep | Y2 |
| The merry lambs and the complacent kine | R2 |
| The flies below the leaves and the young mice | W |
| In the tree roots and all the sacred flocks | G |
| Of red flamingoes and my love Vijaya | N |
| And may no restless fay with fidget finger | H |
| Trouble his sleeping give him dreams of me | Q2 |
