| Blooms the glorious land serene | A |
| Flaming shields of dawns between | A |

| To illume | C |
| With their bright eyes | D |
| Fluctuant ecstatic gloom | C |
| 'Twixt the fallen emerald sun | E |
| And the unrisen azure one | E |
| - | |
| But the season of the night | F |
| Comes in all the suns' despite | F |
| And ah gorgeous then their sorrows | G |
| At departure into morrows | G |
| Of remoter lands forgot | H |
| Until now remembered not | H |

| And recalled regretfully | I |
| Regretfully for leaving this | G |

| The land knows another light | F |
| All the small and evil rays | G |
| Of the sorcerous orbs ablaze | G |
| With ecstatical intense | G |
| Hate and still malevolence | G |
| Dwelling on the fields below | J |
| From the ascendancy of even | K |
| Till the suns re entering heaven | E |
| Glorify with triple glow | J |
| The dim flowers smitten low | J |
| - | |
| Ah not cold or kind as ours | G |
| The stars of those remotest hours | G |
| Peace and pallor of the flowers | G |
| They have fevered they have marred | L |
| With the poison of their light | F |
| With distill d bale and blight | F |
| Of a red accurst regard | L |
| All the toil of sunlight hours | G |
| They undo | M |
| With their wild eyes | G |
| Eldritch and ecstatic eyes | G |
| Stooping timeward from the skies | G |
| Burning redly in the dew | M |
