| Rose of the world | A |
| Around their scented golden core | B |

| O hearts that are Love's helpless prey | F |
| While yet you may | F |
| Fly ere the shaft is on the string | G |

| Shall be the conflagration soon | H |
| Whose paths are strewn | H |
| With torment of blanched lips and eyes | I |
| That agonize | I |
