| To the intoxication | A |
| The mind fused down like a bead | D |

| At last to calm incandescence | E |
| Burned clean by remorseless hate | F |
| Now at the day's renascence | E |
| We approach the gate | F |
| - | |
| Now from the darkened spaces | E |
| Of fear and of frightened faces | E |
| Death in our awful embraces | E |
| Approached and passed by | G |
| - | |
| We near the flame burnt porches | E |
| Where the brands of the angels like torches | E |
| Whirl in these perilous marches | E |
| Pausing to sigh | G |

| Gates of the long discarded | L |
| Garden which God has hoarded | L |
| Against our pain | J |
| - | |
| The Lord of Hosts and the Devil | C |
| Are left on Eternity's level | C |
| Field and as victors we travel | C |
| To Eden home | M |
| - | |
| Back beyond good and evil | C |
| Return we Eve dishevel | C |
| Your hair for the bliss drenched revel | C |
| On our primal loam | M |
