| rivers | B |
| Swift from the waters of the rising seas | C |
| Swift on the chilling heart that waits and quivers | C |
| With a terror of hideousies | C |
| Behind grey mist it comes and creeping cloud | D |
| That licks the fading earth with foetid breath | E |
| From plains it comes and silent lakes a shroud | D |
| That holds unloosed the damned brigades of | F |

| Broken with foulness ravished as it bled | G |
| A blow a weeping Then a silence lies | C |
| Faint bells low tinkling from the bloody sod | H |
| Rise from the depths of heart and touch the skies | C |
| And murmur at the very stairs of God | H |
