Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFG FHIBeside a monstrous Jewish whore I lay | A |
One night we were two corpses side by side | B |
And came to dream beside this hired bride | B |
Of beauty my desire had turned away | A |
- | |
I saw again her native majesty | C |
Her gaze empowered with a strength and grace | D |
Her hair a perfumed casque around her face | D |
An image that revived the love in me | C |

For I would fervently have kissed your flesh | E |
From your sweet feet up to your sable hair | F |
Unrolled the treasure of a deep caress | G |

If on some evening with a simple tear | F |
o queen of cruelty you had devised | H |
To dim the brilliance of those soulless eyes | I |
