| A heart as true a love as pure and keen | B |
| These things endure if anything endures | A |

| Crowning the dagoba what destined die | C |
| Rings on the table what resistless dart | D |

| There no dawn breaks no sunlight penetrates | A |
| Its blackness no moon shines nor any star | H |
| For its own horror of itself creates | A |
| Malignant fate from all benignant fates | A |
| Of its own spite drives its own angel afar | H |
| Nay this is the great import of the curse | A |
| That the whole world is sick and not a part | D |
| Conterminous with its own universe | A |
| the horror of my heart | D |
