| Performing thine inexorable rites | E |

| For thy dark altars balm nor milk nor rice | F |
| But mine own soul thou'st ta'en for sacrifice | F |

| All the rich honey of my youth's desire | G |

| And all my flower like dreams and gem like fire | G |
| Of hopes up leaping like the light of dawn | H |
| - | |

| I have no more to give all that was mine | I |
| Is laid a wrested tribute at thy shrine | I |
| Let me depart for my whole soul is wrung | J |
| And all my cheerless orisons are sung | J |
| Let me depart with faint limbs let me creep | K |
| To some dim shade and sink me down to sleep | K |
