| Faintly sound the falling feet | A |
| And the blue even slowly falls | B |
| About the garden trees and walls | B |

| Now in the falling of the gloom | C |
| The red fire paints the empty room | C |
| And warmly on the roof it looks | D |
| And flickers on the back of books | D |

| Armies march by tower and spire | E |
| Of cities blazing in the fire | F |
| Till as I gaze with staring eyes | G |
| The armies fall the lustre dies | G |

| Then once again the glow returns | H |
| Again the phantom city burns | H |
| And down the red hot valley lo | I |
| The phantom armies marching go | I |

| Blinking embers tell me true | J |
| Where are those armies marching to | J |
| And what the burning city is | K |
| That crumbles in your furnaces | K |
