| In the night wind | B |
| Blowing like a flower | C |
| It gleamed and glittered | D |
| A tall white lily | E |
| Under the eye of the golden moon | F |
| From a stone seat | G |
| Beneath a blossoming lime | H |
| The man watched it | I |
| And the spray pattered | D |
| On the dim grass at his feet | G |

| The fountain tossed its water | C |
| Up and up like silver marbles | J |
| Is that an arm he sees | K |
| And for one moment | L |
| Does he catch the moving curve | M |
| Of a thigh | N |
| The fountain gurgled and splashed | O |
| And the man's face was wet | P |

| Is it singing that he hears | Q |
| A song of playing at ball | R |
| The moonlight shines on the straight column of water | C |
| And through it he sees a woman | S |
| Tossing the water balls | T |
| Her breasts point outwards | U |
| And the nipples are like buds of peonies | K |
| Her flanks ripple as she plays | V |
| And the water is not more undulating | W |
| Than the lines of her body | E |

| Come she sings Poet | X |
| Am I not more worth than your day ladies | K |
| Covered with awkward stuffs | Y |
| Unreal unbeautiful | R |

| Is not the night for poets | Z |
| I am your dream | A2 |
| Recurrent as water | C |
| Gemmed with the moon | F |

| She steps to the edge of the pool | R |
| And the water runs rustling down her sides | B2 |
| She stretches out her arms | C2 |
| And the fountain streams behind her | C |
| Like an opened veil | R |

| In the morning the gardeners came to their work | D2 |
| There is something in the fountain said one | S |
| They shuddered as they laid their dead master | C |
| On the grass | E2 |
| I will close his eyes said the head gardener | C |
| It is uncanny to see a dead man staring at the sun | S |
