| Thou from the first unborn undying Love | B |
| Albeit we gaze not on thy glories near | C |

| The very throne of the eternal God | F |
| Passing through thee the edicts of his fear | C |

| Even from its central deeps thine empery | C |
| Is over all thou wilt not brook eclipse | I |

| Like lightning thou dost ever brood above | B |
| The silence of all hearts unutterable Love | B |

| And now methinks I gaze upon thee now | N |
| As on a serpent in his agonies | I |
| Awe stricken Indians what time laid low | O |
| And crushing the thick fragrant reeds he lies | I |
| When the new year warm breath d on the Earth | P |
| Waiting to light him with her purple skies | I |
| Calls to him by the fountain to uprise | I |
| Already with the pangs of a new birth | P |
| Strain the hot spheres of his convuls d eyes | I |
| And in his writhings awful hues begin | Q |
| To wander down his sable sheeny sides | I |
| Like light on troubled waters from within | Q |
| Anon he rusheth forth with merry din | Q |
| And in him light and joy and strength abides | I |
| And from his brows a crown of living light | R |
| Looks through the thick stemmed woods by day and night | R |
