Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCBDB ABEBFBGB DBDBABGB| WHO inhabiteth the Mountain | A |
| That it shines in lurid light | B |
| And is rolled about with thunders | C |
| And terrors and a blight | B |
| Like Kaf the peak of Eblis | C |
| Kaf the evil height | B |
| Who has gone up with a shouting | D |
| And a trumpet in the night | B |

| There is battle in the Mountain | A |
| Might assaulteth Might | B |
| 'Tis the fastness of the Anarch | E |
| Torrent torn an ancient height | B |
| The crags resound the clangor | F |
| Of the war of Wrong and Right | B |
| And the armies in the valley | G |
| Watch and pray for dawning light | B |

| Joy joy the day is breaking | D |
| And the cloud is rolled from sight | B |
| There is triumph in the Morning | D |
| For the Anarch's plunging flight | B |
| God has glorified the Mountain | A |
| Where a banner burneth bright | B |
| And the armies of the valley | G |
| They are fortified in right | B |
