| And here upon earth's noonward height | B |
| To feel the always coming on | C |
| The always rising of the night | B |
| - | |
| To feel creep up the curving east | D |
| The earthy chill of dusk and slow | E |
| Upon those under lands the vast | F |
| And ever climbing shadow grow | E |
| - | |
| And strange at Ecbatan the trees | G |
| Take leaf by leaf the evening strange | H |
| The flooding dark about their knees | G |
| The mountains over Persia change | H |

| And now at Kermanshah the gate | I |
| Dark empty and the withered grass | J |
| And through the twilight now the late | I |
| Few travelers in the westward pass | J |

| Across the silent river gone | L |
| And through Arabia the edge | M |
| Of evening widen and steal on | C |

| And deepen on Palmyra's street | N |
| The wheel rut in the ruined stone | O |
| And Lebanon fade out and Crete | N |
| High through the clouds and overblown | O |
| - | |
| And over Sicily the air | P |
| Still flashing with the landward gulls | Q |
| And loom and slowly disappear | R |
| The sails above the shadowy hulls | Q |
| - | |
| And Spain go under the the shore | S |
| Of Africa the gilded sand | T |
| And evening vanish and no more | S |
| The low pale light across that land | T |
| - | |
| Nor now the long light on the sea | U |
| - | |
| And here face downward in the sun | A |
| To feel how swift how secretly | U |
| The shadow of the night comes on | C |
