Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCADB EFBGADH IBBBHJHB KLMNOPQ EBBBARJ B| 'Find meat on bones that soon have none | A |
| And drink in the two milked crags | B |
| The merriest marrow and the dregs | B |
| Before the ladies' breasts are hags | B |
| And the limbs are torn | C |
| Disturb no winding sheets my son | A |
| But when the ladies are cold as stone | D |
| Then hang a ram rose over the rags | B |
| - | |
| 'Rebel against the binding moon | E |
| And the parliament of sky | F |
| The kingcrafts of the wicked sea | B |
| Autocracy of night and day | G |
| Dictatorship of sun | A |
| Rebel against the flesh and bone | D |
| The word of the blood the wily skin | H |
| And the maggot no man can slay ' | - |
| - | |
| 'The thirst is quenched the hunger gone | I |
| And my heart is cracked across | B |
| My face is haggard in the glass | B |
| My lips are withered with a kiss | B |
| My breasts are thin | H |
| A merry girl took me for man | J |
| I laid her down and told her sin | H |
| And put beside her a ram rose | B |
| - | |
| 'The maggot that no man can kill | K |
| And the man no rope can hang | L |
| Rebel against my father's dream | M |
| That out of a bower of red swine | N |
| Howls the foul fiend to heel | O |
| I cannot murder like a fool | P |
| Season and sunshine grace and girl | Q |
| Nor can I smother the sweet waking ' | - |
| - | |
| Black night still ministers the moon | E |
| And the sky lays down her laws | B |
| The sea speaks in a kingly voice | B |
| Light and dark are no enemies | B |
| But one companion | A |
| 'War on the spider and the wren | R |
| War on the destiny of man | J |
| Doom on the sun ' | - |
| Before death takes you O take back this | B |
