| Because of those new dead | B |
| That come into my soul and escape | C |
| Confusion of the bed | B |
| Or those begotten or unbegotten | D |
| Perning in a band | E |
| I bend my body to the spade | F |
| Or grope with a dirty hand | E |

| Or those begotten or unbegotten | D |
| For I would not recall | G |
| Some that being unbegotten | D |
| Are not individual | H |
| But copy some one action | D |
| Moulding it of dust or sand | E |
| I bend my body to the spade | F |
| Or grope with a dirty hand | E |

| An old ghost's thoughts are lightning | I |
| To follow is to die | J |
| Poetry and music I have banished | K |
| But the stupidity | L |
| Of root shoot blossom or clay | M |
| Makes no demand | E |
| I bend my body to the spade | F |
| Or grope with a dirty hand | E |
