| And on her hair a hoop of gold | A |
| Like fox fire in the tawn moonlight | A |
| Was glimmering cold | A |
| - | |
| With soft gray eyes she gloomed and glowered | A |
| With soft red lips she sang a song | B |
| What knight might gaze upon her face | C |
| Nor fare along | B |
| - | |
| For all her looks were full of spells | D |
| And all her words of sorcery | E |
| And in some way they seemed to say | F |
| 'Oh come with me | E |
| - | |
| 'Oh come with me oh come with me | E |
| Oh come with me my love Sir Kay ' | - |
| How should he know the witch I trow | G |
| Morgan le Fay | F |
| - | |
| How should he know the wily witch | H |
| With sweet white face and raven hair | I |
| Who by her art bewitched his heart | A |
| And held him there | I |
| - | |
| For soul and sense had waxed amort | A |
| To wold and weald to slade and stream | J |
| And all he heard was her soft word | A |
| As one adream | J |
| - | |
| And all he saw was her bright eyes | K |
| And her fair face that held him still | L |
| And wild and wan she led him on | M |
| O'er vale and hill | L |
| - | |
| Until at last a castle lay | F |
| Beneath the moon among the trees | N |
| Its Gothic towers old and gray | F |
| With mysteries | N |
| - | |
| Tall in its hall an hundred knights | O |
| In armor stood with glaive in hand | A |
| The following of some great King | P |
| Lord of that land | A |
| - | |
| Sir Bors Sir Balin and Gawain | Q |
| All Arthur's knights and many mo | J |
| But these in battle had been slain | R |
| Long years ago | J |
| - | |
| But when Morgan with lifted hand | A |
| Moved down the hall they louted low | J |
| For she was Queen of Shadowland | A |
| That woman of snow | J |
| - | |
| Then from Sir Kay she drew away | F |
| And mocking at him by her side | A |
| 'Behold Sir Knights the knave who slew | S |
| Your King ' she cried | A |
| - | |
| Then like one man those shadows raised | A |
| Their swords whereon the moon glanced gray | F |
| And clashing all strode from the wall | T |
| Against Sir Kay | F |
| - | |
| And on his body bent and bowed | A |
| The hundred blades like one blade fell | U |
| While over all rang long and loud | A |
| The mirth of Hell | U |
