Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIBJBBKBLHMN| For there were nights my love to him whose brow | A |
| Has glistened with the spoils of nights like those | B |
| Home turning as a conqueror turns home | C |
| What time green dawn down every street uprears | B |
| Arches of triumph He has drained as well | D |
| Joy's perfumed bowl and cried as I have cried | E |
| Be Fame their mistress whom Love passes by | F |
| This only matters from some flowery bed | G |
| Laden with sweetness like a homing bee | H |
| If one have known what bliss it is to come | I |
| Bearing on hands and breast and laughing lips | B |
| The fragrance of his youth's dear rose To him | J |
| The hills have bared their treasure the far clouds | B |
| Unveiled the vision that o'er summer seas | B |
| Drew on his thirsting arms This last thing known | K |
| He can court danger laugh at perilous odds | B |
| And pillowed on a memory so sweet | L |
| Unto oblivious eternity | H |
| Without regret yield his victorious soul | M |
| The blessed pilgrim of a vow fulfilled | N |
