Rhyme Scheme: ABCCB ADEED FGEEG FHIIH JKLLK JMNNM| The ghostly Ere that walks the fen | A |
| Tonight thine only light shall be | B |
| On lethal ways thy soul shall pass | C |
| And prove the stealthy coiled morass | C |
| With mocking mists for company | B |
| - | |
| On roads thou goest not again | A |
| To shores where thou hast never gone | D |
| Fare onward though the shuddering queach | E |
| And serpent rippled waters reach | E |
| Like seepage pools of Acheron | D |
| - | |
| Beside thee and the twisted reeds | F |
| Close raddled as a witch's net | G |
| Enwind thy knees and cling and clutch | E |
| Like wreathing adders though the touch | E |
| Of the blind air be dank and wet | G |
| - | |
| As from a wounded Thing that bleeds | F |
| In cloud and darkness overhead | H |
| Fare onward where thy dreams of yore | I |
| In splendor drape the fetid shore | I |
| And pestilential waters dead | H |
| - | |
| And though the toads' irrision rise | J |
| Like grinding of Satanic racks | K |
| And spectral willows gaunt and grey | L |
| Gibber along thy shrouded way | L |
| Where vipers lie with livid backs | K |
| - | |
| And watch thee with their sulphurous eyes | J |
| Fare onward till thy feet shall slip | M |
| Deep in the sudden pool ordained | N |
| And all the noisome draught be drained | N |
| That turns to Lethe on the lip | M |
