| A somewhat unconvincing oriental leers | E |
| Redundantly into the globe he peers | E |
| Mutters a word or two and stands aside | F |
| The glass grows cloudy with sulphorous fumes | E |
| Beads rattle latecomers giggle near the door | G |
| A scene forms in the glass silence invades the rooms | E |

| The oriental glances up conceals surprise | E |
| At such immediate success Our eyes | E |
| Stare at the planes that fill the swelling globe | H |
| Smoke blue blood shelltorn faces Suddenly a drum | I |
| Begins its steady beat pursues us even here | J |
| Death and death again and all the wars to come | I |
