| Under the moveless stretch of glooms great wing'd | B |
| That brood the abyss vague Tartarus lapsed remote | C |
| Through zones of spatial silence Night and Time | D |
| Agreeing once had made thereof a place | E |
| Imediate unto Chaos and removed | F |
| gt From temporal clamor and terrestrial hush | G |
| In gulfs world sundered from the sun Far up | H |
| Light was a gossamer of frailest blue | I |
| Above the lift of Cyclopean walls | J |
| And flight of crags incredible through heavens | K |
| Of darkness and ethereal space of eve | L |
| Sheer everlasting But within the abyss | M |
| The silence of the death of suns was come | N |
| And the far light seemed as the ghost of days | O |
| Flown and forgotten or as memory | P |
| Sent through the drifts of drear Oblivion | Q |
| To the forgetful dead But unto them | R |
| The fall'n Titanic gods disconsolate | F |
| It shone as might a throne supreme and lost | F |
| Phantasmal unattainable athwart | F |
| The chasm of downfall and defeat Apart | F |
| In the waste darkness round the purblind air | S |
| Scarcely their presence each to each betrayed | F |
| Who to the gaze of those but newly fallen | Q |
| Had seemed as clouds upon a moonless midnight | F |
| Black formless without substance motionless | T |
| The flaming tumult of disastrous fight | F |
| Talking their outward fire had left them bleak | U |
| As their own statues who yet ached within | V |
| And battle splendours gloomed with rust were strewn | W |
| Around them where the darkness heeded not | F |
| If rust or clearest splendours were downcast | F |
| Were ineffectual blade and useless mail | X |
| Left to the barren and devouring dust | F |
| That knew not nor should know the sun | Q |
| - | |
| Abrupt | F |
| The change from impact and surprise of strife | Y |
| From the embattled world where searing war | Z |
| Had lately flamed through indecisive lands | A2 |
| Open to sun and stars to this drear deep | B2 |
| This unity of night and misery | P |
| Of desolation silence and defeat | F |
| Intolerable sure Speechless beneath | C2 |
| That gloom the Titans lay where like the strong | D2 |
| Suspense of noiseless and enormous wings | E2 |
| Immediate breathless menace infinite | F |
| Came hideous myriad eyed Despair With minds | F2 |
| Tortured and anguished gaze they saw the dark | G2 |
| Writhe to unnumbered forms of subtlest fear | H2 |
| Such terrors as attend the night of suns | K |
| For the strange impotence of gods dethroned | F |
| The face of Chaos with a thousand leers | K |
| And phantoms pointing at eternal gulfs | K |
| - | |
| Dark with defeat gigantically dumb | N |
| Like Memnons morningless that have survived | F |
| The dawn voiced vibrant sun's last silencing | I2 |
| The Titans waited Time that hath for hue | I |
| In the swift light and cloud surprise of Change | J2 |
| All iris that enchants the sunset foam | K2 |
| Now with grey silence clad dismal and slow | L2 |
| Through the grey darkness waned as one that hath | M2 |
| No hope foreworn upon an endless way | N2 |
| All desolation and all hopelessness | K |
| Had hushed it seemed a deep that was the tomb | O2 |
| So huge that dark of all magnificence | K |
| ons of splendour whole antiquities | K |
| Of Time forgotten glories There the gods | K |
| Sleepless in midst as of Oblivion | Q |
| Abiding fronted anguish infinite | F |
| And all the strong renewal of despair | S |
| Throughout Tartarean dark eternity | P |
