Mother of visions with lineaments dulcet as numbers	A
Breathed on the eyelids of love by music that slumbers	A
Secretly sweetly O presence of fire and snow	B
Thou comest mysterious	A
In beauty imperious	A
Clad on with dreams and the light of no world that we know	B
Deep to my innermost soul am I shaken	C
Helplessly shaken and tossed	D
And of thy tyrannous yearnings so utterly taken	C
My lips unsatisfied thirst	E
Mine eyes are accurst	E
With longings for visions that far in the night are forsaken	C
And mine ears in listening lost	E
Yearn yearn for the note of a chord that will never awaken	C

Like palpable music thou comest like moonlight and far	F
Resonant bar upon bar	F
The vibrating lyre	G
Of the spirit responds with melodious fire	H
As thy fluttering fingers now grasp it and ardently shake	I
With flame and with flake	I
The chords of existence the instrument star sprung	J
Whose frame is of clay so wonderfully molded from mire	G

Vested with vanquishment come O Desire Desire	H
Breathe in this harp of my soul the audible angel of love	K
Make of my heart an Israfel burning above	K
A lute for the music of God that lips which are mortal but stammer	H
Smite every rapturous wire	H
With golden delirium rebellion and silvery clamor	H
Crying 'Awake awake	I
Too long hast thou slumbered too far from the regions of glamour	H
With its mountains of magic its fountains of Fa ry the spar sprung	J
Hast thou wandered away O Heart	E
Come oh come and partake	I
Of necromance banquets of beauty and slake	I
Thy thirst in the waters of art	E
That are drawn from the streams	A
Of love and of dreams '	-

'Come oh come	L
No longer shall language be dumb	L
Thy vision shall grasp	M
As one doth the glittering hasp	M
Of a dagger made splendid with gems and with gold	E
The wonder and richness of life not anguish and hate of it merely	N
And out of the stark	I
Eternity awful and dark	I
Immensity silent and cold	E
Universe shaking as trumpets or thunderous metals	A
That cymbal yet pensive and pearly	N
And soft as the rosy unfolding of petals	A
Or crumbling aroma of blossoms that wither too early	N
The majestic music of Death where he plays	A
On the organ of eons and days '	-
