| When you wake in your crib | B |
| You an inch of experience | C |
| Vaulted about | D |
| With the wonder of darkness | E |
| Wailing and striving | F |
| To reach from your feebleness | E |
| Something you feel | G |
| Will be good to and cherish you | H |
| Something you know | I |
| And can rest upon blindly | J |
| O then a hand | K |
| Your mother's your mother's | E |
| By the fall of its fingers | E |
| All knowledge all power to you | H |
| Out of the dreary | J |
| Discouraging strangenesses | E |
| Comes to and masters you | H |
| Takes you and lovingly | J |
| Woos you and soothes you | H |
| Back as you cling to it | L |
| Back to some comforting | F |
| Corner of sleep | M |
| - | |
| So you wake in your bed | N |
| Having lived having loved | O |
| But the shadows are there | P |
| And the world and its kingdoms | E |
| Incredibly faded | Q |
| And you grope in the Terror | R |
| Above you and under | R |
| For the light for the warmth | S |
| The assurance of life | T |
| But the blasts are ice born | U |
| And your heart is nigh burst | V |
| With the weight of the gloom | W |
| And the stress of your strangled | X |
| And desperate endeavour | R |
| Sudden a hand | K |
| Mother O Mother | R |
| God at His best to you | H |
| Out of the roaring | F |
| Impossible silences | E |
| Falls on and urges you | H |
| Mightily tenderly | J |
| Forth as you clutch at it | L |
| Forth to the infinite | Y |
| Peace of the Grave | Z |
