Rhyme Scheme: A BBCDDCBEEFGGFGHIHAJA KLLMKNOMCOCON| Sung on one night in the cities in the darkness | A |
| - | |
| Come away Come away | B |
| Ye are sober and dull through the common day | B |
| But now it is night | C |
| It is shameful night and God is asleep | D |
| Have you not felt the quick fires that creep | D |
| Through the hungry flesh and the lust of delight | C |
| And hot secrets of dreams that day cannot say | B |
| The house is dumb | E |
| The night calls out to you Come ah come | E |
| Down the dim stairs through the creaking door | F |
| Naked crawling on hands and feet | G |
| It is meet it is meet | G |
| Ye are men no longer but less and more | F |
| Beast and God Down the lampless street | G |
| By little black ways and secret places | H |
| In the darkness and mire | I |
| Faint laughter around and evil faces | H |
| By the star glint seen ah follow with us | A |
| For the darkness whispers a blind desire | J |
| And the fingers of night are amorous | A |
| Keep close as we speed | K |
| Though mad whispers woo you and hot hands cling | L |
| And the touch and the smell of bare flesh sting | L |
| Soft flank by your flank and side brushing side | M |
| TO NIGHT never heed | K |
| Unswerving and silent follow with me | N |
| Till the city ends sheer | O |
| And the crook'd lanes open wide | M |
| Out of the voices of night | C |
| Beyond lust and fear | O |
| To the level waters of moonlight | C |
| To the level waters quiet and clear | O |
| To the black unresting plains of the calling sea | N |
