Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFDFD GHGIJKJKLKMK NONOOBOBKPKP| Death in his palace holds his court | A |
| His messengers move to and fro | B |
| Each of his mission makes report | A |
| And takes the royal orders Lo | B |
| Some slow before his throne appear | C |
| And humbly in the Presence kneel | D |
| Why hath the Prince not been brought here | E |
| The hour is past nor is appeal | D |
| Allowed against foregone decree | F |
| There is the mandate with the seal | D |
| How comes it ye return to me | F |
| Without him Shame upon your zeal | D |

| O King whom all men fear he lies | G |
| Deep in the dark Medhya wood | H |
| We fled from thence in wild surprise | G |
| And left him in that solitude | I |
| We dared not touch him for there sits | J |
| Beside him lighting all the place | K |
| A woman fair whose brow permits | J |
| In its austerity of grace | K |
| And purity no creatures foul | L |
| As we seemed by her loveliness | K |
| Or soul of evil ghost or ghoul | M |
| To venture close and far far less | K |
| - | |
| To stretch a hand and bear the dead | N |
| We left her leaning on her hand | O |
| Thoughtful no tear drop had she shed | N |
| But looked the goddess of the land | O |
| With her meek air of mild command | O |
| Then on this errand I must go | B |
| Myself and bear my dreaded brand | O |
| This duty unto Fate I owe | B |
| I know the merits of the prince | K |
| But merit saves not from the doom | P |
| Common to man his death long since | K |
| Was destined in his beauty's bloom | P |
