Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGBHF IJKCLGBBBFB FMNBBBOBPBB| Upon the stark blue blankness of the sky | A |
| The assailing armies of the stars have swept | B |
| And all the night is splendid with their spears | C |
| The azure emptiness hath grown a page | D |
| Inscribed with countless characters of flame | E |
| Gigantic hieroglyphs inscrutable | F |
| Emblazonry eternal of the dark | G |
| And ciphers bright whose key is yet unfound | B |
| That burn as riddles to unnumbered eyes | H |
| On worlds uncountable | F |
| - | |
| The earth rolls on | I |
| Within its shadow darkness that lays bare | J |
| The sister worlds and legions of the suns | K |
| That flame remote as day to unseen spheres | C |
| And gleaming atoms on the night to us | L |
| Enormous revelation of the dark | G |
| The finite looks upon Infinity | B |
| The endless star processions that unfold | B |
| On midnight roads of the unceasing void | B |
| O suns thy light doth blind and stun the soul | F |
| The imponderable abyss is as a weight | B |
| - | |
| To crush the spirit utterly I feel | F |
| More strong than thunder on the astounded ear | M |
| The vast stupendous silence of the gulf | N |
| Its darkness wraps me round and I am lost | B |
| All sense of self o'erwhelmed and my soul steeped | B |
| In night till it becomes a darkness too | B |
| What suns beyond the suns what further voids | O |
| The night doth hide What skies unseen are bright | B |
| To dwellers in Polaris' worlds What depths | P |
| Of black abysmal silence fall unsunned | B |
| Past Fomalhaut | B |
