Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFFGHIJKLEMNOPQR| Now I'll record my secret vision impossible sight of the face of God | A |
| It was no dream I lay broad waking on a fabulous couch in Harlem | B |
| having masturbated for no love and read half naked an open book of Blake | C |
| on my lap | D |
| Lo behold I was thoughtless and turned a page and gazed on the living | E |
| Sun flower | F |
| and heard a voice it was Blake's reciting in earthen measure | F |
| the voice rose out of the page to my secret ear never heard before | G |
| I lifted my eyes to the window red walls of buildings flashed outside | H |
| endless sky sad Eternity | I |
| sunlight gazing on the world apartments of Harlem standing in the | J |
| universe | K |
| each brick and cornice stained with intelligence like a vast living face | L |
| the great brain unfolding and brooding in wilderness Now speaking | E |
| aloud with Blake's voice | M |
| Love thou patient presence bone of the body Father thy careful | N |
| watching and waiting over my soul | O |
| My son My son the endless ages have remembered me My son My son | P |
| Time howled in anguish in my ear | Q |
| My son My son my father wept and held me in his dead arms | R |
