Rhyme Scheme: ABBBA BCCCB DAAAD EBBBE FAAAG HBBBH BIIIB| I will repeat a subtle rune | A |
| And thronging suns of Otherwhere | B |
| Shall blaze upon the blinded air | B |
| And spectres terrible and fair | B |
| Shall wake the riven world at noon | A |
| - | |
| The star that was mine empery | B |
| In dust upon unwinnowed skies | C |
| But primal dreams have made me wise | C |
| And soon the shattered years shall rise | C |
| To my remembered sorcery | B |
| - | |
| To mantic mutterings brief and low | D |
| My palaces shall lift amain | A |
| My bowers bloom I will regain | A |
| The lips whereon my lips have lain | A |
| In rose red twilights long ago | D |
| - | |
| Before my murmured exorcism | E |
| The world a wispy wraith shall flee | B |
| A stranger earth a weirder sea | B |
| People with shapes of F ery | B |
| Shall swell upon the waste abysm | E |
| - | |
| The pantheons of darkened stars | F |
| Shall file athwart the crocus dawn | A |
| Goddess and Gorgon Lar and faun | A |
| Shall tread the amaranthine lawn | A |
| And giants fight their thunderous wars | G |
| - | |
| Like graven mountains of basalt | H |
| Dark idols of my demons there | B |
| Shall tower through bright zones of air | B |
| Fronting the sun with level stare | B |
| And hell shall pave my deepest vault | H |
| - | |
| Phantom and fiend and sorceror | B |
| Shall serve me till my term shall pass | I |
| And I become no more alas | I |
| Than a frail shadow on the glass | I |
| Before some latter conjurer | B |
