"Spirits from the deep
Who never sleep,
Be kind to me


"Spirits from the grave
Without a soul to save,
Be kind to me


"Spirits of the trees
That grow upon the leas,
Be kind to me


"Spirits of the air
Foul and black, not fair,
Be kind to me


"Water spirits hateful,
To ships and bathers fateful,
Be kind to me


"Spirit of the earthbound dead
That glide with noiseless tread,
Be kind to me


"Spirits of heat and fire
Destructive in your ire,
Be kind to me


"Spirits of cold and ice
Patrons of crime and vice,
Be kind to me


"Wolves, vampires, satyrs, ghosts!
Elect of all the devilish hosts!
I pray you send hither,
Send hither, send hither
That great grey shape that makes men shiver!
Shiver, shiver, shiver!
Come! Come! Come!
