| | | ERE 1 Babylon was dust, | |
| The Magus Zoroaster, my dead child, | |
| Met his own image walking in the garden. | |
| That apparition, sole of men, he saw. | |
| For know there are two worlds of life and death: | 5 |
| One that which thou beholdest; but the other | |
| Is underneath the grave, where do inhabit | |
| The shadows of all forms that think and live | |
| Till death unite them and they part no more; | |
| Dreams and the light imaginings of men, | 10 |
| And all that faith creates or love desires, | |
| Terrible, strange, sublime and beauteous shapes. | |
