| Till the stones of the streets of her Hells and her Paradise ached | D |
| for her | A |
| - | |
| So she lived while her body corrupted upon her | A |
| And she called on the Night for a sign and a Sign was allowed | D |
| And she builded an Altar and served by the light of her Vision | G |
| Alone without hope of regard or reward but uncowed | D |
| Resolute selfless divine | H |
| These things she did in Love's honour | A |
| What is a God beside Woman Dust and derision | G |
