| On smokey tongues of sweetened cigarettes | B |

| Just as absinthe sipping women shiver through | D |
| With shimmering blue from the bowl in Circe's hall | C |
| Their brown eyes blacken and the blue drop hue | D |

| The andante quivers with crescendo's start | E |
| And dies on fire's birth in each man's heart | E |
| The tapestry betrays a finger through | D |
| The slit soft pulling and music follows cue | D |

| There is a sweep a shattering a choir | F |
| Disquieting of barbarous fantasy | G |
| The pulse is in the ears the heart is higher | F |

| Finale leaves in silence to replume | A |
| Bent wings and Carmen with her flaunts through the gloom | A |
| Of whispering tapestry brown with old fringe | J |
| The winers leave too and the small lamps twinge | J |
| - | |
| Morning and through the foggy city gate | K |
| A gypsy wagon wiggles striving straight | K |
| And some dream still of Carmen's mystic face | L |
| Yellow pallid like ancient lace | L |
