Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EBFG HIJK E| Ever since those wondrous days of Creation | A |

| for His fist tight hand is numbed by sleep | B |
| and the times brought in the age of heroes | F |
| during which our dark hearts plundered Him | G |
| - | |
| Sometimes He appears as if tormented | H |
| and His body jerks as if plagued by pain | I |
| but these spells are always outweighed by the | J |
| number of His countless other worlds | K |
