| Each flower is a hand's span | J |
| of her whiteness Wherever | I |
| his hand has lain there is | K |
| a tiny purple blossom under his touch | L |
| to which the fibres of her being | D |
| stem one by one each to its end | M |
| until the whole field is a | N |
| white desire empty a single stem | O |
| a cluster flower by flower | I |
| a pious wish to whiteness gone over | I |
| or nothing | D |
