| | | O MYSTIC, delicate chalice of the world, | |
| Jeweled with pallid moons! Exquisite arch | |
| Of the quiet sky; carven ’twixt dusk and dusk | |
| Of smoky Indian jade, a summer night, | |
| By God the Artist, God the deaf and blind, | 5 |
| Who fashions masterpiece on masterpiece, | |
| And through the Window of the Universe | |
| Hurls them forever and forever…. | |
| Pale cup, wherein all tears and mirth of men | |
| Distil, that men may drink of thee and live…. | 10 |
| Thrice-precious Grail, that holds the Wine of Earth! | | | | |
