Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAA BBDDEFAA BBAAAAGGH| Then up the orient heights to the zenith that balanced the crescent | A |
| Up and far up and over the heaven grew erubescent | A |
| Vibrant with rose and with ruby from the hands of the harpist Dawn | B |
| Smiting symphonic fire on the firmament's barbiton | B |
| And the East was a priest who adored with offerings of gold and of gems | C |
| And a wonderful carpet unrolled for the inaccessible hems | C |
| Of the glistening robes of her limbs that lily and amethyst | A |
| Swept glorying on and on through temples of cloud and mist | A |

| Then out of the splendor and richness that burned like a magic stone | B |
| The torrent suffusion that deepened and dazzled and broadened and shone | B |
| The pomp and the pageant of color triumphal procession of glare | D |
| The sun like a king in armor breathing splendor from feet to hair | D |
| Stood forth with majesty girdled as a hero who towers afar | E |
| Where the bannered gates are bristling hells and the walls are roaring war | F |
| And broad on the back of the world like a Cherubin's fiery blade | A |
| The effulgent gaze of his aspect fell in glittering accolade | A |

| Then billowing blue like an ocean rolled from the shores of morn to even | B |
| And the stars like rafts went down and the moon like a ghost ship driven | B |
| A feather of foam from port to port of the cloud built isles that dotted | A |
| With pearl and cameo bays of the day her canvas webbed and rotted | A |
| Lay lost in the gulf of heaven while over her mixed and melted | A |
| The beautiful children of Morn whose bodies are opal belted | A |
| The beautiful daughters of Dawn who over and under and after | G |
| The rivered radiance wrestled and rainbowed heaven with laughter | G |
| Of halcyon sapphire O Dawn thou visible mirth | H |
