*I
So I have known this life
II
O wretched man, that, for a little mile
III
Out of the special cell's most special sense
IV
You are the link which binds us each to each
V
I could not sleep for thinking of the sky
VI
How did the nothing come, how did these fires
VII
It may be so; but let the unknown be
VIII
The Kings go by with jewelled crowns
IX
What is this life which uses living cells
X
Can it be blood and brain, this transient force
XI
Not only blood and brain its servants are
XII
Drop me the seed, that I, even in my brain
XIII
Ah, but Without there is no spirit scattering
XIV
You are too beautiful for mortal eyes
XV
Is it a sea on which the souls embark
XVI
The Blacksmith
("The blacksmith in his sparky forge")
XVII
The Frontier
("Would God the route would come for home")
XVIII
Night is on the downland, on the lonely moorland
XIX
Midnight
("The fox came up by Stringer's Pound")
XX
Up on the downs the red-eyed kestrels hover
XXI
No man takes the farm
XXII
A hundred years ago, they quarried for the stone here
XXIII
Here the legion halted, here the ranks were broken
XXIV
We danced away care till the fiddler's eyes blinked
