| Before the day star learned to move | B |
| In pomp of fire along his grand career | C |
| Glancing the beamy shafts of light | D |
| - | |
| From his rich quiver to the farthest sphere | C |
| Thou wert alone oh Love | E |
| Nestling beneath the wings of ancient Night | D |
| Whose horrors seemed to smile in shadowing thee | A |

| The veil of Chaos is withdrawn | P |
| And their first kiss is great Creation's dawn | P |
