| In vain through gyral years we think | P |
| To reach beyond the abyss | B |
| Some void ulterior precipice | B |

| Cursed with immutable unrest | D |
| The sun impulse that goads | B |
| Along reiterated roads | B |
| Upon a circled quest | D |

| Until to lasting night addressed | D |
| The master suns outworn | Q |
| - | |
| From shadowed darkling sovereignty | D |
| Their time rescinded reigns | B |
| Relax and loose our olden chains | B |
| And cast us gulfward free | D |
