| Round about the unhoped kiss | B |
| Whose dream I long have sorrowed o er | C |
| Round about the longing sore | D |
| That the touch of thee shall turn | E |
| Into joy too deep to burn | E |
| - | |
| Round thine eyes and round thy mouth | F |
| Passeth no murmur of the south | F |
| When my lips a little while | G |
| Leave thy quivering tender smile | G |
| As we twain hand holding hand | H |
| Once again together stand | H |
| - | |
| Sweet is that as all is sweet | I |
| For the white drift shalt thou meet | I |
| Kind and cold cheeked and mine own | J |
| Wrapped about with deep furred gown | K |
| In the broad wheeled chariot | L |
| Then the north shall spare us not | M |
| The wide reaching waste of snow | N |
| Wilder lonelier yet shall grow | N |
| As the reddened sun falls down | K |
| - | |
| But the warders of the town | K |
| When they flash the torches out | O |
| O er the snow amid their doubt | O |
| And their eyes at last behold | P |
| Thy red litten hair of gold | P |
| Shall they open or in fear | Q |
| Cry Alas What cometh here | R |
| Whence hath come this Heavenly | S |
| To tell of all the world undone | T |
| - | |
| They shall open and we shall see | S |
| The long street litten scantily | S |
| By the long stream of light before | D |
| The guest hall s half open door | D |
| And our horses bells shall cease | U |
| As we reach the place of peace | U |
| Thou shalt tremble as at last | V |
| The worn threshold is o er past | V |
| And the fire light blindeth thee | S |
| Trembling shalt thou cling to me | S |
| As the sleepy merchants stare | W |
| At thy cold hands slim and fair | W |
| Thy soft eyes and happy lips | X |
| Worth all lading of their ships | X |
| - | |
| O my love how sweet and sweet | I |
| That first kissing of thy feet | I |
| When the fire is sunk alow | S |
| And the hall made empty now | Y |
| Groweth solemn dim and vast | V |
| O my love the night shall last | V |
| Longer than men tell thereof | Z |
| Laden with our lonely love | Z |
