| - | |
| A shaded lamp and a waving blind | B |
| And the beat of a clock from a distant floor | C |
| On this scene enter winged horned and spined | B |
| A longlegs a moth and a dumbledore | C |
| While 'mid my page there idly stands | D |
| A sleepy fly that rubs its hands | D |

| II | A |

| Thus meet we five in this still place | E |
| At this point of time at this point in space | E |
| My guests parade my new penned ink | F |
| Or bang at the lamp glass whirl and sink | F |
| God's humblest they I muse Yet why | A |
| They know Earth secrets that know not I | A |
