Beyond the Northern Lights in regions haunted	A
Of twilight where the world is glacier planted	A
And pale as Loki in his cavern when	B
The serpent's slaver burns him to the bones	C
I saw the phantasms of gigantic men	B
The prototypes of vastness quarrying stones	C
Great blocks of winter glittering with the morn's	C
And evening's colors wild prismatic tones	C
Of boreal beauty Like the three gray Norns	C
Silence and solitude and terror loomed	D
Around them where they labored Walls arose	C
Vast as the Andes when creation boomed	D
Insurgent fire and through the rushing snows	C
Enormous battlements of tremendous ice	C
Bastioned and turreted I saw arise	C

But who can sing the workmanship gigantic	E
That reared within its coruscating dome	F
The roaring fountain hurling an Atlantic	E
Of streaming ice that flashed with flame and foam	F
An opal spirit various and many formed	G
In whose clear heart reverberant fire stormed	G
Seemed its inhabitant and through pale halls	C
And deep diaphanous walls	C
And corridors of whiteness	C
Auroral colors swarmed	G
As rosy flickering stains	C
Or lambent green or gold or crimson warmed	G
The pulsing crystal of the spirit's veins	C
With ever changing brightness	C
And through the Arctic night there went a voice	C
As if the ancient Earth cried out 'Rejoice	C
My heart is full of lightness '	-

Here well might Thor the god of war	H
Harness the whirlwinds to his car	I
While mailed in storm his iron arm	J
Heaves high his hammer's lava form	K
And red and black his beard streams back	L
Like some fierce torrent scoriac	L
Whose earthquake light glares through the night	M
Around some dark volcanic height	M
And through the skies Valkyrian cries	C
Trumpet as battleward he flies	C
Death in his hair and havoc in his eyes	C

Still in my dreams I hear that fountain flowing	L
Beyond all seeing and beyond all knowing	L
Still in my dreams I see those wild walls glowing	L
With hues Aurora kissed	N
And through huge halls fantastic phantoms going	L
Vast shapes of snow and mist	N
Sonorous clarions of the tempest blowing	L
That trail dark banners by	O
Cloudlike underneath the sky	O
Of the caverned dome on high	O
Carbuncle and amethyst	N
Still I hear the ululation	B
Of their stormy exultation	B
Multitudinous and blending	L
In hoarse echoes far unending	L
And through halls of fog and frost	P
Howling back like madness lost	P
In the moonless mansion of	-
Its own demon haunted love	-

Still in my dreams I hear the mermaid singing	L
The mermaid music at its portal ringing	L
The mermaid song that hinged with gold its door	H
And whispering evermore	H
Hushed the ponderous hurl and roar	H
And vast olian thunder	Q
Of the chained tempests under	Q
The frozen cataracts that were its floor	H
And blinding beautiful I still behold	R
The mermaid there combing her locks of gold	R
While at her feet green as the Northern Seas	C
Gambol her flocks of seals and walruses	C
While like a drift her dog a Polar bear	S
Lies by her glowering through his shaggy hair	S

O wondrous house built by supernal hands	C
In vague and ultimate lands	C
Thy architects were behemoth wind and cloud	T
That laboring loud	T
Mountained thy world foundations and uplifted	U
Thy skyey bastions drifted	A
Of piled eternities of ice and snow	B
Where storms like ploughmen go	B
Ploughing the deeps with awful hurricane	B
Where spouting icy rain	B
The huge whale wallows and through furious hail	V
Th' explorer's tattered sail	V
Drives like the wing of some terrific bird	W
Where wreck and famine herd	W
Home of the red Auroras and the gods	C
He who profanes thy perilous threshold where	S
The ancient centuries lair	S
And glacier throned thy monarch Winter nods	C
Let him beware	S
Lest coming on that hoary presence there	S
Whose pitiless hand	X
Above that hungry land	X
An iceberg wields as sceptre and whose crown	B
The North Star is set in a band of frost	P
He too shall feel the bitterness of that frown	B
And turned to stone forevermore be lost	P
