| Where was I last Friday night | B |
| Within the forest of dark dreams | C |
| Following the blur of a goblin light | B |
| That led me over ugly streams | C |
| Whereon the scum of the spawn was spread | D |
| And the blistered slime in stagnant seams | C |
| Where the weed and the moss swam black and dead | D |
| Like a drowned girl's hair in the ropy ooze | E |
| And the jack o' lantern light that led | D |
| Flickered the fox fire trees o'erhead | D |
| And the owl like things at airy cruise | E |

| Where was I last Friday night | D |
| Within the forest of dark dreams | C |
| Following a form of shadowy white | D |
| With my own wild face it seems | C |
| Did a raven's wing just flap my hair | F |
| Or a web winged bat brush by my face | G |
| Or the hand of something I did not dare | F |
| Look round to see in that obscene place | G |
| Where the boughs with leaves a devil's dance | H |
| And the thorn tree bush where the wind made moan | I |
| Had more than a strange significance | J |
| Of life and of evil not their own | I |

| Where was I last Friday night | D |
| Within the forest of dark dreams | C |
| Seeing the mists rise left and right | D |
| Like the leathery fog that heaves and steams | C |
| From the rolling horror of Hell's red streams | C |
| While the wind that tossed in the tattered tree | K |
| And danced alone with the last mad leaf | L |
| Or was it the wind kept whispering me | K |
| Now bury it here with its own black grief | L |
| And its eyes of fire you can not brave | M |
| And in the darkness I seemed to see | K |
| My own self digging my soul a grave | M |
