Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDB EFGGHIF EJKKJLJ AMNNMIM OPQQPRP SBTTBFB| Within Fancy's Halls I sit and quaff | A |
| Rich draughts of the Wine of Song | B |
| And I drink and drink | C |
| To the very brink | C |
| Of delirium wild and strong | B |
| Till I lose all sense of the outer world | D |
| And see not the human throng | B |
| - | |
| The lyral chords of each rising thought | E |
| Are swept by a hand unseen | F |
| And I glide and glide | G |
| With my music bride | G |
| Where few spiritless souls have been | H |
| And I soar afar on wings of sound | I |
| With my fair AEolian Queen | F |
| - | |
| Deep deeper still from the springs of Thought | E |
| I quaff till the fount is dry | J |
| And I climb and climb | K |
| To a height sublime | K |
| Up the stars of some lyric sky | J |
| Where I seem to rise upon airs that melt | L |
| Into song as they pass by | J |
| - | |
| Millennial rounds of bliss I live | A |
| Withdrawn from my cumbrous clay | M |
| As I sweep and sweep | N |
| Through infinite deep | N |
| On deep of that starry spray | M |
| Myself a sound on its world wide round | I |
| A tone on its spheral way | M |
| - | |
| And wheresoe'er through the wondrous space | O |
| My soul wings its noiseless flight | P |
| On their astral rounds | Q |
| Float divinest sounds | Q |
| Unseen save by spirit sight | P |
| Obeying some wise eternal law | R |
| As fixed as the law of light | P |
| - | |
| But oh when my cup of dainty bliss | S |
| Is drained of the Wine of Song | B |
| How I fall and fall | T |
| At the sober call | T |
| Of the body that waiteth long | B |
| To hurry me back to its cares terrene | F |
| And earth's spiritless human throng | B |
