Rhyme Scheme: AABA CDEE BBFB EEBE| The force of suns had waned beyond recall | A |
| Chaos was re established over all | A |
| Where lifeless atoms through forgetful deeps | B |
| Fled unrelated cold immusical | A |

| Above the tumult heaven alone endured | C |
| Long since the bursting walls of hell had poured | D |
| Demon and damned to peace erstwhile denied | E |

| And now it rose about the heavenly Base | B |
| Mordant at pillars rotten through and through | F |
| Of Matter's last most firm abiding place | B |
| - | |
| Bastion and minaret began to nod | E |
| Till all the pile unmindful of His rod | E |
| Dissolved in thunder and the void Abyss | B |
| Caught like a quicksand at the feet of God | E |
