The Ordeal + 

O Crimson salamander, + 

Because of love’s whim + 

sacred! + 

Swim + 

the winding flame + 

Predestined to disman him + 

And bring our fellow home to us again. + 

Swim in with watery fang, + 

Gnaw out and drown + 

The fire roots that circle him + 

Until the Hell-flower dies down + 

And he comes home again. + 

Aye, bring him home, + 

O crimson salamander, + 

That I may see he is unchanged with burning⁠— + 

Then have your will with him, + 

O crimson salamander. + 
