Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE BFBG HIHI JKJK LMLM NONP| Hands and lit faces eddy to a line | A |
| The dazed last minutes click the clamour dies | B |
| Beyond the great swung arc o' the roof divine | A |
| Night smoky scarv'd with thousand coloured eyes | B |
| - | |
| Glares the imperious mystery of the way | C |
| Thirsty for dark you feel the long limbed train | D |
| Throb stretch thrill motion slide pull out and sway | C |
| Strain for the far pause draw to strength again | E |
| - | |
| As a man caught by some great hour will rise | B |
| Slow limbed to meet the light or find his love | F |
| And breathing long with staring sightless eyes | B |
| Hands out head back agape and silent move | G |
| - | |
| Sure as a flood smooth as a vast wind blowing | H |
| And gathering power and purpose as he goes | I |
| Unstumbling unreluctant strong unknowing | H |
| Borne by a will not his that lifts that grows | I |
| - | |
| Sweep out to darkness triumphing in his goal | J |
| Out of the fire out of the little room | K |
| There is an end appointed O my soul | J |
| Crimson and green the signals burn the gloom | K |
| - | |
| Is hung with steam's far blowing livid streamers | L |
| Lost into God as lights in light we fly | M |
| Grown one with will end drunken huddled dreamers | L |
| The white lights roar The sounds of the world die | M |
| - | |
| And lips and laughter are forgotten things | N |
| Speed sharpens grows Into the night and on | O |
| The strength and splendour of our purpose swings | N |
| The lamps fade and the stars We are alone | P |
