I have whirled with the earth at the dawning, When the sky was a vaporous flame; I have seen the dark universe yawning Where the black planets roll without aim.
Where they roll in their horror Unheeded, Without knowledge or lustre Or name
I was old when the pharaohs first mounted The jewel-decked throne by the Nile; I was old in those epochs uncounted When I, and only I, was vile;
And Man, yet happy And untainted, Dwelt in bliss on the far Arctic isle.
Through the ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber, Past the abyss of night, I have lived over my lives without number, I have sounded all things with my sight; Driven to madness with fright
Oh, great was the sin of my spirit, And great is the reach of its doom; Not the pity of Heaven can cheer it, Nor can respite be found in the tomb: Down the infinite aeons come beating the wings of unmerciful gloom.
I have haunted the tombs of the ages, I have flown on the pinions of fear, Where the smoke-belching Erebus rages Where the jokulls loom snow-clad and drear: And in realms where the sun of the desert consumes what it never can cheer.
I am the nemesis, of all things The hunter in the dark Born from the night I am nemesis
