Who by fire

Who by fire, who by water

Who in the sunshine, who in the night time

Who by high ordeal, who by common trial

Who in your merry merry month of may

Who by very slow decay

And who, shall I say, is calling?

Who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate

Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt

And who by avalanche, who by powder

Who for his greed, who for his hunger

And who, shall I say, is calling?

Who by brave ascent, who by accident

Who in solitude, who in the mirror

And who by his lady's command, who by his own hand

Who in mortal chains, who in power

And who, shall I say, is calling?
