| Pale as the night that pales | B |
| In the dawn's pearl pure pavillion | A |
| I wait for thee with my dove's breast | C |
| Shuddering a god its bitter guest | C |
| Have I not gilded my nails | B |
| And painted my lips with vermillion | A |
| - | |
| Am I not wholly stript | C |
| Of the deeds and thoughts that obscure thee | D |
| I wait for thee my soul distraught | C |
| With aching for some nameless naught | C |
| In its most arcane crypt | C |
| Am I not fit to endure thee | D |
| - | |
| Girded about the paps | B |
| With a golden girdle of glory | D |
| Dost thou wait me thy slave who am | E |
| As a wolf lurks for a strayed white lamb | E |
| The chain of the stars snaps | B |
| And the deep of night is hoary | D |
| - | |
| Thou whose mouth is a flame | F |
| With its seven edged sword proceeding | G |
| Come I am writhing with despair | H |
| Like a snake taken in a snare | H |
| Moaning thy mystical name | F |
| Till my tongue is torn and bleeding | G |
| - | |
| Have I not gilded my nails | B |
| And painted my lips with vermillion | A |
| Yea thou art I the deed awakes | B |
| Thy lightening strikes thy thunder breaks | B |
| Wild as the bride that wails | B |
| In the bridegroom's plumed pavillion | A |
