| Hill whose dreaded | B |
| Bases battle with the seas | C |
| Looms across fierce widths of fleeting | D |
| Waters beating | D |
| Evermore on roaring leas | C |
| Arakoon the black the lonely | E |
| Housed with only | E |
| Cloud and rain wind mist and damp | F |
| Round whose foam drenched feet and nether | G |
| Depths together | G |
| Sullen sprites of thunder tramp | F |
| - | |
| There the East hums loud and surly | E |
| Late and early | E |
| Through the chasms and the caves | H |
| And across the naked verges | I |
| Leap the surges | J |
| White and wailing waifs of waves | H |
| - | |
| Day by day the sea fogs gathered | K |
| Tempest fathered | K |
| Pitch their tents on yonder peak | L |
| Yellow drifts and fragments lying | D |
| Where the flying | D |
| Torrents chafe the cloven creek | L |
| - | |
| And at nightfall when the driven | M |
| Bolts of heaven | M |
| Smite the rock and break the bluff | N |
| Thither troop the elves whose home is | I |
| Where the foam is | I |
| And the echo and the clough | O |
| - | |
| Ever girt about with noises | I |
| Stormy voices | J |
| And the salt breath of the Strait | P |
| Stands the steadfast Mountain Giant | Q |
| Grim reliant | Q |
| Dark as Death and firm as Fate | P |
| - | |
| So when trouble treads like thunder | G |
| Weak men under | G |
| Treads and breaks the thews of these | C |
| Set thyself to bear it bravely | E |
| Greatly gravely | E |
| Like the hill in yonder seas | C |
| - | |
| Since the wrestling and endurance | R |
| Give assurance | R |
| To the faint at bay with pain | S |
| That no soul to strong endeavour | G |
| Yoked for ever | G |
| Works against the tide in vain | S |
