| I spoke to the pale and heavy lidded woman and said | B |
| O pale and heavy lidded woman why is your cheek | C |
| Pale as the dead and what are your eyes afraid lest they speak | C |
| And the woman answered me I am pale as the dead | B |
| For the dead have loved me and I dream of the dead | B |
| - | |
| But I see in the eyes of the living as a living fire | D |
| The thing that my soul in triumph tells me I have forgot | E |
| And therefore mine eyelids are heavy and I raise them not | E |
| For always I see in the eyes of men the old desire | D |
| And I fear lest they see that I desire their desire | D |
