Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDEC FGGF HIIH AHHA JKKL| Though the whole heaven be one eyed with the moon | A |
| Though the dead landscape seem a thing possessed | B |
| Yet I go singing through that land oppressed | B |
| As one that singeth through the flowers of June | A |

| No more with forest fingers crawling free | C |
| O'er dark flint wall that seems a wall of eyes | D |
| Shall evil break my soul with mysteries | E |
| Of some world poison maddening bush and tree | C |

| With bloody secrets veiled before me stand | G |
| Last night I held all evil in my hand | G |
| Closed and behold it was a little thing | F |

| I broke the infernal gates and looked on him | H |
| Who fronts the strong creation with a curse | I |
| Even the god of a lost universe | I |
| Smiling above his hideous cherubim | H |
| - | |
| And pierced far down in his soul's crypt unriven | A |
| The last black crooked sympathy and shame | H |
| And hailed him with that ringing rainbow name | H |
| Erased upon the oldest book in heaven | A |
| - | |
| Like emptied idiot masks sin's loves and wars | J |
| Stare at me now for in the night I broke | K |
| The bubble of a great world's jest and woke | K |
| Laughing with laughter such as shakes the stars | L |
