Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKL MNOPQRSTPI NPUVWPX KYZVA2B2C2| Space and dread and the dark | A |
| Over a livid stretch of sky | B |
| Cloud monsters crawling like a funeral train | C |
| Of huge primeval presences | D |
| Stooping beneath the weight | E |
| Of some enormous rudimentary grief | F |
| While in the haunting loneliness | G |
| The far sea waits and wanders with a sound | H |
| As of the trailing skirts of Destiny | I |
| Passing unseen | J |
| To some immitigable end | K |
| With her grey henchman Death | L |
| - | |
| What larve what spectre is this | M |
| Thrilling the wilderness to life | N |
| As with the bodily shape of Fear | O |
| What but a desperate sense | P |
| A strong foreboding of those dim | Q |
| Interminable continents forlorn | R |
| And many silenced in a dusk | S |
| Inviolable utterly and dead | T |
| As the poor dead it huddles and swarms and styes | P |
| In hugger mugger through eternity | I |
| - | |
| Life life let there be life | N |
| Better a thousand times the roaring hours | P |
| When wave and wind | U |
| Like the Arch Murderer in flight | V |
| From the Avenger at his heel | W |
| Storm through the desolate fastnesses | P |
| And wild waste places of the world | X |
| - | |
| Life give me life until the end | K |
| That at the very top of being | Y |
| The battle spirit shouting in my blood | Z |
| Out of the reddest hell of the fight | V |
| I may be snatched and flung | A2 |
| Into the everlasting lull | B2 |
| The immortal incommunicable dream | C2 |
