Rhyme Scheme: A BCBDBEFGHIJKL| A Fragment | A |
| - | |
| The bottom lands of Lethe and of Night | B |
| Beyond the fiery troubling of the stars | C |
| The peaceful heavens hold in plenitude | B |
| A gloom that lies like drift of purple down | D |
| On lids oblivious having but for light | B |
| The glimmer as of some lost afterglow | E |
| Which irretrievable of any sun | F |
| Seems evermore to falter and to grope | G |
| 'Mid forms and shades elusive Like a scene | H |
| To one entranced with dark mandragora | I |
| And dimmer than mirages of the moon | J |
| Lies all the drowsy land lapsing away | K |
| With Lethe to the sleep of nadir plains | L |
