| Emerge from the darkness his hand | B |
| On the rock of eternity unclasping | C |

| Departing departing departing | C |
| Leaving ruinous fragments of life | L |
| Hanging frowning cliffs all between | M |
| An ocean of voidness unfathomable | N |

| Of blood pour down the mountains to cool | V |
| The eternal fires beating without | W |
| From Eternals like a black globe | X |
| View'd by sons of Eternity standing | C |
| On the shore of the infinite ocean | M |

| Los wept howling around the dark Demon | M |
| And cursing his lot for in anguish | Z |
| Urizen was rent from his side | A2 |
| And a fathomless void for his feet | B2 |
| And intense fires for his dwelling | C |
| - | |
| But Urizen laid in a stony sleep | C2 |
| Unorganiz'd rent from Eternity | F |
| - | |
| The Eternals said What is this Death | T |
| Urizen is a clod of clay | D2 |
| - | |
| Los howld in a dismal stupor | E2 |
| Groaning gnashing groaning | C |
| Till the wrenching apart was healed | F2 |
| - | |
| But the wrenching of Urizen heal'd not | G2 |
| Cold featureless flesh or clay | D2 |
| Rifted with direful changes | O |
| He lay in a dreamless night | H2 |
| - | |
| Till Los rouz'd his fires affrighted | H2 |
| At the formless unmeasurable death | T |
