| Up and far up and over a warm erubescence liquescent | A |
| Rioted roses and rubies eruptions of opaline gems | B |
| Flung and wide sown blushed crushed and crumbled from diadems | B |
| Wealth of the kings of the Sylphs whence old alchemist Earth | C |
| Dewed down by chemistry occult fashions petrified waters of worth | C |
| Then out of the stain and rash furor the passionate pulver of stone | D |
| The trembling suffusion that dazzled and awfully shone | D |
| Chamelion convulsion of color hilarious ranges of glare | E |
| Like a god who for vengeance ires nodding battle from every hair | E |
| Fares forth with majesty girdled and clangs with hot heroes for life | F |
| Till the brazen gates boom bursten hells and the walls roar bristling strife | F |
| Athwart with a stab of glittering fire in plunged like a knife | F |
| Cut billowing gold in bullion rolled and an army driven | G |
| Routed the stars fled shriveled and the white moon riven | G |
| Puffed like a foam feather forth of a Triton's conch when sounded | A |
| Clung vague as a web on heaven then weak as a face that is wounded | A |
| Died on the withering clouds and sorrowed with them and mingled | A |
| While up and up with a steadiness and triumph of sparkle that tingled | A |
| Wrestled the tempest of Dawn that hurricaned heaven with spangle | H |
| And halcyon bloom like mercy a shatter a scatter a tangle | H |
| Of labyrinthed glory O God with manifold mirth | C |
| The hallelujah of Heaven hosanna of Earth | C |

| And I in my vision imprisoned was restless and wan | I |
| With a yearning for vigor to gird and be gone | J |
| Out of false dreams to the true realities noble of dawn | J |

| Vanishing visions whose lineaments steal into slumbers | B |
| Loosened the lids of the sight the night that encumbers | B |
| Secretly sweetly with fingers of fog that were slow | K |
| Slow as a song that mysterious | B |
| Passions the soul till delirious | B |
| Wrapped in mad melody mastering the uttermost woe | K |
| Deep to the innermost deep it is shaken | G |
| Ruffled and rippled and tossed | A |
| Tantalized terrorized cursed with a thirst that unslaken | G |
| Debauches with eyes that burn stolid yet only shall waken | G |
| With infinite scorn of the cost | A |
| If no note of the rhapsody's lost | A |

| Oh for the music of moonbeams that master and sweep | L |
| Chords of the resonant deep | L |
| Smiting loud lyres of Night sonorous as fire | M |
| Leap fluttering fingers of vanquishing flash and of flake | N |
| Fain at each firmament universe instrument star strung | O |
| Vibrating vestured in garments of woven desire | M |
| Stoop to me breathe on me smile on me waver Awake | N |
| From waking to sleeping to silence from manifold clamor | M |
| To revelous regions of multiform glamour | M |
| Murmur and whisper Awake | N |
| Oh necromance banquets by fountains of fairy the spar sprung | O |
| Oh sorcerous beauties and wonders of wizards oh take | N |
| The millions of morning spun gleams | B |
| All glitters of galloping streams | B |
| The glimmer the gasp the clutch and the grasp | P |
| That colorless crystals and virtuous jewels | B |
| As spasmodic fuels | B |
| Cuddle and huddle and clasp | P |
| The wrinkle and crinkle of scintillant heat in white metals | B |
| The quiver of terrible gold and the pearly | Q |
| Lithe brilliance of soft holy petals | B |
| Of slender sad blossoms tumultuous tossed crispy and curly | Q |
| In shadowy reaches of violet dark | R |
| The burn of the stars and the spark | R |
| Fragile of foams that are fluted to make | N |
| One cordial of dreams | B |
| To drink and to sink | S |
| Deep deep into dreams nor awake | N |

| As to a Nymph in the ripple ribbed body of ocean | G |
| Down down thro' vast stories of water a hiss and devour | M |
| Electrify altitudes orbed pulses violent motion | G |
| Of Thunder who treads the brute neck of the seas in his power | M |
| Till their spine writhes lumped into waves the Nymph in her bower | M |
| Rubbing moist sleep from her eyes arises | B |
| Loosens the loops of her locks | B |
| Loosens and suddenly darts on the storm and surprises | B |
| The boisterous bands of the rocks | B |
| That hoot to the riddling arrows of rain and of seas | B |
| Mountainous these | B |
| Swirling and whirling | T |
| She of the huge exultation beheld with long tresses | B |
| Dotted with bells of the hollow hard foam flung streaming | T |
| Dives bounds to the whirlwind embracing then mockingly presses | B |
| Hair to wild face and wild throat drifts desolate dreaming | T |
| With scorn then laughing and screaming | T |
| Discovers full beauty of nakedness leaping and gleaming | T |
| And showering the rain from her hair | E |
| Pouts blown curdled foam from her lips | B |
| And eddying slips | B |
| From the ravenous eyes of the Thunder that glare | E |
| Away away | U |
| To the arms of her lover the Spray | U |
| So I | V |
| At swift thoughts that were spoken that came | W |
| As if winds had fashioned a speech was a flame | W |
| That dwindled was kindled then mounted and | A |
| Marvelling why | V |
| Stemming all thought a gleam out of gleams | B |
| Was born into dreams | B |

| Beautiful bosomed O Night with thy moon | G |
| Move in majesty slowly to majesty lightly | Q |
| Silent as sleep who is lulled by a delicate tune | G |
| O'er stroke thou the air with a languor of moonlight brightly | Q |
| Thin ice in sockets of turquoise fastened the stars | B |
| Gash golden the bosom of heaven with fiery scars | B |
| Swoon down O shadowy hosts | B |
| O multitude ghosts | B |
| Of the moonlight and starlight begotten Then swept | A |
| Whispers that sighed to me sorrows that stealthily hovered | A |
| Laughters with lips that were mist And murmurings crept | A |
| On toward me feet that were glow and faces uncovered | A |
| Radiant and crystalline clear | X |
| In tortuous sinuous swirl of vapory pearl | Y |
| Waned near and more near | X |
| Flashed faster a spiral of shapes and of shadows still faster | M |
| On in a whirl of unutterable beauties by music expired | A |
| That lived and desired | A |
| Born births of the brain of a rhapsody reveling master | M |
| And mine eyes with their beauties infired | A |
| Smiled scorn on dark Death and Disaster | M |

| Ah now the orchard's leaves are sear | X |
| Drip not with starlight litten dew | A |
| Green drowned no moon bright fruit hangs here | Z |
| Dead dead your long white lilies too | A |
| And you Allita where are you | A |
| - | |
| Then comes her dim touch faintly warm | A2 |
| Cool hair sense on my feverish cheek | B2 |
| Dim eyes at mine deep with some charm | C2 |
| So gray so gray and I am weak | B2 |
| Weak with wild tears and can not speak | B2 |
| - | |
| I am as one who walks with dreams | B |
| Sees as in youth his father's home | D2 |
| Hears from his native mountain streams | B |
| Far music of continual foam | D2 |
