Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGDDHI JKLMNOPQERI SRRTURCVLMRIWEI RRX| I stood musing in a black world | A |
| Not knowing where to direct my feet | B |
| And I saw the quick stream of men | C |
| Pouring ceaselessly | D |
| Filled with eager faces | E |
| A torrent of desire | F |
| I called to them | G |
| Where do you go What do you see | D |
| A thousand voices called to me | D |
| A thousand fingers pointed | H |
| Look look There | I |
| - | |
| I know not of it | J |
| But lo In the far sky shone a radiance | K |
| Ineffable divine | L |
| A vision painted upon a pall | M |
| And sometimes it was | N |
| And sometimes it was not | O |
| I hesitated | P |
| Then from the stream | Q |
| Came roaring voices | E |
| Impatient | R |
| Look look There | I |
| - | |
| So again I saw | S |
| And leaped unhesitant | R |
| And struggled and fumed | R |
| With outspread clutching fingers | T |
| The hard hills tore my flesh | U |
| The ways bit my feet | R |
| At last I looked again | C |
| No radiance in the far sky | V |
| Ineffable divine | L |
| No vision painted upon a pall | M |
| And always my eyes ached for the light | R |
| Then I cried in despair | I |
| I see nothing Oh where do I go | W |
| The torrent turned again its faces | E |
| Look look There | I |
| - | |
| And at the blindness of my spirit | R |
| They screamed | R |
| Fool fool fool | X |
