| 'Twas like a Maelstrom with a notch | B |
| That nearer every Day | C |
| Kept narrowing its boiling Wheel | D |
| Until the Agony | E |
| - | |
| Toyed coolly with the final inch | F |
| Of your delirious Hem | G |
| And you dropt lost | H |
| When something broke | I |
| And let you from a Dream | J |
| - | |
| As if a Goblin with a Gauge | K |
| Kept measuring the Hours | L |
| Until you felt your Second | M |
| Weigh helpless in his Paws | N |
| - | |
| And not a Sinew stirred could help | O |
| And sense was setting numb | P |
| When God remembered and the Fiend | Q |
| Let go then Overcome | P |
| - | |
| As if your Sentence stood pronounced | R |
| And you were frozen led | S |
| From Dungeon's luxury of Doubt | T |
| To Gibbets and the Dead | S |
| - | |
| And when the Film had stitched your eyes | U |
| A Creature gasped Reprieve | V |
| Which Anguish was the utterest then | W |
| To perish or to live | X |
