| You an inch of experience | B |
| Vaulted about | C |
| With the wonder of darkness | D |
| Wailing and striving | E |
| To reach from your feebleness | D |
| Something you feel | F |
| Will be good to and cherish you | G |
| Something you know | H |
| And can rest upon blindly | I |
| O then a hand | J |
| Your mother's your mother's | D |
| By the fall of its fingers | D |
| All knowledge all power to you | G |
| Out of the dreary | I |
| Discouraging strangenesses | D |
| Comes to and masters you | G |
| Takes you and lovingly | I |
| Woos you and soothes you | G |
| Back as you cling to it | K |
| Back to some comforting | E |
| Corner of sleep | L |

| So you wake in your bed | M |
| Having lived having loved | N |
| But the shadows are there | O |
| And the world and its kingdoms | D |
| Incredibly faded | P |
| And you group through the Terror | Q |
| Above you and under | Q |
| For the light for the warmth | R |
| The assurance of life | S |
| But the blasts are ice born | T |
| And your heart is nigh burst | U |
| With the weight of the gloom | V |
| And the stress of your strangled | W |
| And desperate endeavour | Q |
| Sudden a hand | J |
| Mother O Mother | Q |
| God at His best to you | G |
| Out of the roaring | E |
| Impossible silences | D |
| Falls on and urges you | G |
| Mightily tenderly | I |
| Forth as you clutch at it | K |
| Forth to the infinite | X |
| Peace of the Grave | Y |
