Rhyme Scheme: ABCCB ADEED FGEEG FHIIH JKLLK JMNNM

The ghostly Ere that walks the fenA
Tonight thine only light shall beB
On lethal ways thy soul shall passC
And prove the stealthy coiled morassC
With mocking mists for companyB
-
On roads thou goest not againA
To shores where thou hast never goneD
Fare onward though the shuddering queachE
And serpent rippled waters reachE
Like seepage pools of AcheronD
-
Beside thee and the twisted reedsF
Close raddled as a witch's netG
Enwind thy knees and cling and clutchE
Like wreathing adders though the touchE
Of the blind air be dank and wetG
-
As from a wounded Thing that bleedsF
In cloud and darkness overheadH
Fare onward where thy dreams of yoreI
In splendor drape the fetid shoreI
And pestilential waters deadH
-
And though the toads' irrision riseJ
Like grinding of Satanic racksK
And spectral willows gaunt and greyL
Gibber along thy shrouded wayL
Where vipers lie with livid backsK
-
And watch thee with their sulphurous eyesJ
Fare onward till thy feet shall slipM
Deep in the sudden pool ordainedN
And all the noisome draught be drainedN
That turns to Lethe on the lipM
