On a crisp as bacon morning with the sunshine on my head, 
From the twilight of the dawning raised myself up from my 
bed. 
Fixed mine eyes upon a favor like no mortal eye behold, 
Then I chose to taste the flavor of the ancient of the 
old. 

On a chill as winter evening in a doubtful circumstance, 
He stopped the evil breathing of a one time's serpent's 
chants . 
Old black sea with silver lining how I long with all my 
soul, 
To quaff the mystic fragrance of the ancient of the old. 

From a red as amber burning with a chalice in my hand, 
I know there is no turning I must now obey command. 
At last decree has destined now the mystery untold, 
Will shine in all it's glory from the ancient of the old.
