Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJEEEKJLJ EMNN| Methought I saw God dying and | A |
| The millions round His bed | B |
| And all in every planet knew | C |
| They'd pass when He was dead | B |
| In a wan light He lay somewhere | D |
| Where all was strange and dim | E |
| And one by one each living thing | F |
| Felt the life leaving Him | E |
| The fiercest creatures lost their power | G |
| The brightest eyes grew pale | H |
| A weakness spread through every star | I |
| Like a funereal tale | H |
| Through Heaven and Hell a tremor passed | J |
| The fiends and seraphim | E |
| Had hushed their cries and songs and came | E |
| To share their doom with Him | E |
| And o'er the Eyes that looked on all | K |
| A deathly glamour passed | J |
| And He knew all that He had made | L |
| Was one with Him at last | J |
| As with His final breath a boom | E |
| Crashed through the worlds and He | M |
| Let go the awful stress He'd kept | N |
| On Life's immensity | N |
