| Into the furnace let me go alone | B |
| Stay you without in terror of the heat | C |
| I will go naked in for thus ''tis sweet | C |
| Into the weird depths of the hottest zone | B |
| I will not quiver in the frailest bone | B |
| You will not note a flicker of defeat | C |
| My heart shall tremble not its fate to meet | C |
| My mouth give utterance to any moan | B |
| The yawning oven spits forth fiery spears | D |
| Red aspish tongues shout wordlessly my name | E |
| Desire destroys consumes my mortal fears | D |
| Transforming me into a shape of flame | E |
| I will come out back to your world of tears | F |
| A stronger soul within a finer frame | E |
