| Out there in your thunder bed | B |
| Where the tempests sweep | A |
| And the waters leap | A |
| And the storms rage overhead | B |
| - | |
| Were you lying there on your couch alone | C |
| Ere Egypt and Rome were born | D |
| Ere the Age of Stone | C |

| The Man with the Crown of Thorn | D |

| On the amethyst | G |
| Of your rugged breast | E |
| But you never arise or wake | F |

| You have locked your past and you keep the key | H |
| In your heart 'neath the westing sun | I |
| Where the mighty sea | H |
| And its shores will be | H |
| Storm swept till the world is done | I |
