Voice of the THIRD SPIRIT In the blue depth of the waters, Where the wave hath no strife, Where the wind is a s______, And the sea-snake hath life, Where the Mermaid is decking Her green hair with shells; Like the storm on the surface Came the sound of thy spells; O'er my calm Hall of Coral The deep echo roll'd-- To the Spirit of Ocean Thy wishes unfold!
FOURTH SPIRIT Where the slumbering earthquake Lies p______ on fire, And the lakes of bitumen Rise b______ higher; Where the roots of the Andes Strike deep in the earth, As their summits to heaven Shoot soaringly forth; I have quitted my birth-place, Thy bidding to bide-- Thy spell hath subdued me, Thy will be my guide!
FIFTH SPIRIT I am the Rider of the wind, The Stirrer of the storm; The hurricane I left behind Is yet with lightning warm; To speed to thee, o'er shore and sea I swept upon the blast: The f______ I met s______ well, and yet 'Twill s______ ere night be past.

Voice of the THIRD SPIRIT In the blue depth of the waters, Where the wave hath no strife, Where the wind is a stir, And the sea-snake hath life, Where the Mermaid is decking Her green hair with shells; Like the storm on the surface Came the sound of thy spells; O'er my calm Hall of Coral The deep echo roll'd-- To the Spirit of Ocean Thy wishes unfold!
FOURTH SPIRIT Where the slumbering earthquake Lies prone on fire, And the lakes of bitumen Rise b______ higher; Where the roots of the Andes Strike deep in the earth, As their summits to heaven Shoot soaringly forth; I have quitted my birth-place, Thy bidding to bide-- Thy spell hath subdued me, Thy will be my guide!
FIFTH SPIRIT I am the Rider of the wind, The Stirrer of the storm; The hurricane I left behind Is yet with lightning warm; To speed to thee, o'er shore and sea I swept upon the blast: The fury/flake/flow I met s______ well, and yet 'Twill shine/swirl ere night be past.

FOURTH SPIRIT Where the slumbering earthquake Lies p______ on fire, (the fire is the earthquake's p______) And the lakes of bitumen Rise b______ higher; (the lakes of bitumen rise as they b______) Where the roots of the Andes Strike deep in the earth, As their summits to heaven Shoot soaringly forth; I have quitted my birth-place, Thy bidding to bide-- Thy spell hath subdued me, Thy will be my guide!
FIFTH SPIRIT I am the Rider of the wind, The Stirrer of the storm; The hurricane I left behind Is yet with lightning warm; To speed to thee, o'er shore and sea (a word in this line tells you the setting for the last two) I swept upon the blast: The f______ I met s______ well, and yet 'Twill s______ ere night be past.

Almost, but you have to use a form that makes sense here ('"pillow" fits the blank in the hint, not quite the blank in the line).

Unless by "make sense" you meant something that fit logically in the context or that was in line with what the author meant, but grammatically it seems fine to me, but I may be missing something.

pillowed/pillowing
On the other hand, that may not make sense through and through.

And pillowing probably doesn't scan.

"Lies with his pillow on fire" seems like a sensical interpretation to me. Right, it does. It just didn't occur to me. I guess the actual construction is also a little more expected.
