| Oh what is that in heaven where grey cloud flakes are seven | G |
| Where blackest clouds hang riven just at the rainy skirt | H |
| Oh that's a meteor sent us a message dumb portentous | I |
| An undeciphered solemn signal of help or hurt | H |

| Oh what is that glides quickly where velvet flowers grow thickly | C |
| Their scent comes rich and sickly A scaled and hooded worm | J |
| Oh what's that in the hollow so pale I quake to follow | K |
| Oh that's a thin dead body which waits the eternal term | J |

| Turn again O my sweetest turn again false and fleetest | H |
| This beaten way thou beatest I fear is hell's own track | B |
| Nay too steep for hill mounting nay too late for cost counting | A |
| This downhill path is easy but there's no turning back | B |
