| I sat with Lilith and Cain | B |
| At the world old drama From God to God | C |
| In the House of Things Profane | B |
| Trumpets and lights and the players | D |
| Swung to the stage and then | E |
| I saw as I looked in their faces | F |
| A woman and some men | E |
| - | |
| Men with the eyes of the psalmist | C |
| Men with the hearts of Saul | G |
| Strong with the wine of valor | H |
| But faint with the woman's thrall | G |
| Calm were her eyes as she held them | I |
| Charmed to her soulless sway | J |
| For she had the face of the Magdalene | K |
| And the heart of Aholiba | L |
| - | |
| Wine and kisses and gusty words | M |
| Kisses and wine again | E |
| And her lips and brow were red with stains | N |
| From the hairy mouths of men | E |
| Red as the stain on the brow of Cain | B |
| That burned with his Maker's hate | C |
| Or the lips of the witch that Adam loved | C |
| Ere God revealed his mate | C |
| - | |
| Trumpets and lights and the players | D |
| Swung from the stage and then | E |
| The curtain fell on the drama | O |
| Of a woman and some men | E |
| While cleaving the dome of the temple | P |
| Fell the Avenger's rod | C |
| And lo when I looked again I saw | Q |
| We were face to face with God | C |
| - | |
| And Lilith the witch dropped down and prayed | C |
| That her child a soul might have | R |
| And the blood red stain on the brow of Cain | B |
| Be wiped out in the grave | S |
| And this was my dream of Babylon | A |
| When I sat with Lilith and Cain | B |
| At the world old drama From God to God | C |
| In the House of Things Profane | B |
