Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEE FFGGHHII| Thy petals yet are closely curled | A |
| Rose of the world | A |
| Around their scented golden core | B |
| Nor yet has Summer purpled o'er | C |
| Thy tender clusters that begin | D |
| To swell within | D |
| The dewy vine leaves' early screen | E |
| Of sheltering green | E |
| - | |
| O hearts that are Love's helpless prey | F |
| While yet you may | F |
| Fly ere the shaft is on the string | G |
| The fire that now is smouldering | G |
| Shall be the conflagration soon | H |
| Whose paths are strewn | H |
| With torment of blanched lips and eyes | I |
| That agonize | I |
