| I am that hawk of gold | B |
| Proud in adamantine poise | C |
| On the pillars of torqoise | C |
| See beyond the starry fold | B |
| Where a darkling orb is rolled | B |
| - | |
| There beneath a grove of yew | D |
| Plays a babe Should I despise | C |
| Such a foam of gold and eyes | C |
| Burning beryline so blue | D |
| That the sun seems peeping through | D |
| - | |
| Did I swwop were Heaven amazed | E |
| With my beak I strike but once | C |
| Out there leap a million suns | C |
| Through the universe that blazed | E |
| Screams theit light and death is dazed | E |

| I should plunge from crystal steep | F |
| Like a plummet to the deep | F |

| See yon solitary star | H |
| What a world of blackness wraps | C |
| Round it Unimagined gaps | C |
| Let it be Content thy car | H |
| With the voyage to things that are | H |
| - | |
| Nor an thou perchance behold | B |
| How I plunge and batten on | I |
| Earth's exentrate carrion | J |
| Deem torquoise match midden mould | B |
| Or deny the Hawk of Gold | B |
