| Cliff heads of craggy cloud surrounding it | B |
| And dwell you in that glory show | C |
| You may for there are strange strange things in being | A |
| Stranger than I know | C |

| Yet if that chasm of splendour claim your presence | D |
| Which glows between the ash cloud and the dun | E |
| How changed must be your mortal mould | F |
| Changed to a firmament riding earthless essence | D |
| From what you were of old | F |

| I would not have you thus and there | I |
| But still would grieve on missing you still feature | G |
| You as the one you were | G |
