| The power of petty creatures here | G |
| Who trick dark deeds in gay disguise | C |
| And weave their web of brooded lies | C |
| With so few threads made smooth and fair | H |

| Entwin'd o'ergrown o'ertowered by fear | F |
| As he who summoned in the night | M |
| At sudden wreck in wild affright | M |
| Once throws his arms around a mast | M |
| Continues still to hold it fast | M |
| When sight and strength and aim are flown | N |
| When cold benumb'd and senseless grown | N |
| My soul by hurrying tempests driven | O |
| Though blinded from the light of Heaven | O |
| Clinging all hope all comfort o'er | P |
| Must yet awaken on the shore | Q |
