Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGH IBBJJ

Because I sought it far from menA
In deserts and aloneB
I found it burning overheadC
The jewel of a ThroneB
-
Because I sought I sought it soD
And spent my days to findE
It blazed one moment ere it leftF
The blacker night behindE
-
We be the Gods of the EastG
Older than allH
Masters of Mourning and FeastG
How shall we fallH

-
This I saw when the rites were doneI
And the lamps were dead and the Gods aloneB
And the grey snake coiled on the altar stoneB
Ere I fled from a Fear that I could not seeJ
And the Gods of the East made mouths at meJ
