Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CBBC DEFD GBBG HBBH ABBA| Autumn far off in memory | A |
| That saw the crisping myrtles fade | B |
| Eons agone my tomb was made | B |
| Beside the moon constrain d sea | A |
| - | |
| Ah wonderful its portals were | C |
| With carven doors of chrysolite | B |
| And walls of somber syenite | B |
| They wrought mine olden sepulcher | C |
| - | |
| About the griffin guarded plinth | D |
| White blossoms crowned the scarlet vine | E |
| And burning orchids opaline | F |
| Illumed the palm and terebinth | D |
| - | |
| On friezes of mine ancient fame | G |
| The cypress wrought its writhen shade | B |
| And through the boughs the ocean made | B |
| Moresques of blue and fretted flame | G |
| - | |
| Poet or prince I may not know | H |
| My perished name nor bring to mind | B |
| Years that are one with dust and wind | B |
| Nor songless love and tongueless woe | H |
| - | |
| Only the tomb they made for me | A |
| With carven doors of chrysolite | B |
| And walls of somber syenite | B |
| Beside the moon constrain d sea | A |
