| The all consuming ardor of Melkarth | A |

| This is the peregrine star that will return | C |
| Faithful to the olden ephemerides | D |

| This is the lamp ancestral hands have lit | E |
| Deep in the doorless crypts of blood and bone | F |
| For you and me it is a witch fire blown | F |

| That has outburned Walpurgis and the moon | G |
| And lifts in quenchless rose to a cloudy noon | G |
