Chapters (68)

1Black riders came from the sea
42
2Three little birds in a row
35
3In the desert
34
4Yes, I have a thousand tongues
28
5Once there came a man
42
6God fashioned the ship of the world carefully
57
7Mystic shadow, bending near me
33
8I looked here
31
9I stood upon a high place
27
10Should the wide world roll away
31
11In a lonely place
37
12And the sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the heads of the children
35
13If there is a witness to my little life
26
14There was a crimson clash of war
38
15Tell brave deeds of war
28
16Charity, thou art a lie
28
17There were many who went in huddled procession
36
18In heaven
50
19A god in wrath
36
20A learned man came to me once
36
21There was, before me
46
22Once I saw mountains angry
40
23Places among the stars
38
24I saw a man pursuing the horizon
30
25Behold, the grave of a wicked man
44
26There was set before me a mighty hill
30
27A youth in apparel that glittered
44
28"Truth," said a traveller
47
29Behold, from the land of the farther suns
41
30Supposing that I should have the courage
35
31Many workmen
37
32Two or three angels
30
33There was one I met upon the road
49
34I stood upon a highway
40
35A man saw a ball of gold in the sky
39
36I met a seer
40
37On the horizon the peaks assembled
26
38The ocean said to me once
48
39The livid lightnings flashed in the clouds
41
40And you love me
57
41Love walked alone
27
42I walked in a desert
38
43There came whisperings in the winds
38
44I was in the darkness
29
45Tradition, thou art for suckling children
28
46Many red devils ran from my heart
30
47"Think as I think," said a man
26
48Once there was a man
34
49I stood musing in a black world
98
50You say you are holy
26
51A man went before a strange god
47
52Why do you strive for greatness, fool
38
53Blustering god
74
54"It was wrong to do this," said the angel
37
55A man toiled on a burning road
43
56A man feared that he might find an assassin
26
57With eye and with gesture
29
58The sage lectured brilliantly
39
59Walking in the sky
30
60Upon the road of my life
55
61There was a man and a woman
58
62There was a man who lived a life of fire
30
63There was a great cathedral
35
64Friend, your white beard sweeps the ground
32
65Once, I knew a fine song
39
66If I should cast off this tattered coat
30
67God lay dead in heaven
52
68A spirit sped
