Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABA CDEDEF| Now the light of the sun in the night of the Earth on the souls of the True | A |
| Shines and their city is girt with the meadow where reigneth the rose | B |
| And deep is the shade of the woods and the wind that flits o'er them and through | A |
| Sings of the sea and is sweet from the isles where the frankincense blows | B |
| Green is their garden and orchard with rare fruits golden it glows | B |
| And the souls of the Blessed are glad in the pleasures on Earth that they knew | A |
| And in chariots these have delight and in dice and in minstrelsy those | B |
| And the savour of sacrifice clings to the altars and rises anew | A |
| - | |
| But the Souls that Persephone cleanses from ancient pollution and stain | C |
| These at the end of the age be they prince be they singer or seer | D |
| These to the world shall be born as of old shall be sages again | E |
| These of their hands shall be hardy shall live and shall die and shall hear | D |
| Thanks of the people and songs of the minstrels that praise them amain | E |
| And their glory shall dwell in the land where they dwelt while year calls unto year | F |
