Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ KKKK LBLB MEMN| Out of the nothingness of sleep | A |
| The slow dreams of Eternity | B |
| There was a thunder on the deep | A |
| I came because you called to me | B |
| - | |
| I broke the Night's primeval bars | C |
| I dared the old abysmal curse | D |
| And flashed through ranks of frightened stars | C |
| Suddenly on the universe | D |
| - | |
| The eternal silences were broken | E |
| Hell became Heaven as I passed | F |
| What shall I give you as a token | E |
| A sign that we have met at last | F |
| - | |

| Shatter the heavens with a song | H |
| Immortal in my love for you | G |
| Because I love you very strong | H |
| - | |
| Your mouth shall mock the old and wise | I |
| Your laugh shall fill the world with flame | J |
| I'll write upon the shrinking skies | I |
| The scarlet splendour of your name | J |
| - | |
| Till Heaven cracks and Hell thereunder | K |
| Dies in her ultimate mad fire | K |
| And darkness falls with scornful thunder | K |
| On dreams of men and men's desire | K |
| - | |
| Then only in the empty spaces | L |
| Death walking very silently | B |
| Shall fear the glory of our faces | L |
| Through all the dark infinity | B |
| - | |
| So clothed about with perfect love | M |
| The eternal end shall find us one | E |
| Alone above the Night above | M |
| The dust of the dead gods alone | N |
