Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE BGHGIJKL MNONPQRQ| O who are thou with that queenly brow | A |
| And uncrowned head | B |
| And why is the vest that binds thy breast | C |
| O'er the heart blood red | B |
| Like a rose bud in June that spot at noon | D |
| A rose bud weak | E |
| But it deepens and grows like a July rose | F |
| Death pale thy cheek | E |
| - | |
| The babes I fed at my foot lay dead | B |
| I saw them die | G |
| In Ramah a blast went wailing past | H |
| It was Rachel's cry | G |
| But I stand sublime on the shores of Time | I |
| And I pour mine ode | J |
| As Miriam sang to the cymbals' clang | K |
| On the wind to God | L |
| - | |
| Once more at my feasts my bards and priests | M |
| Shall sit and eat | N |
| And the Shepherd whose sheep are on every steep | O |
| Shall bless my meat | N |
| Oh sweet men say is the song by day | P |
| And the feast by night | Q |
| But on poisons I thrive and in death survive | R |
| Through ghostly night | Q |
