Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB ACACAC AADADAWhat voice O vengeful Anteros | A |
Has called thee from the seedless weald | B |
Dark sower of the tares of loss | A |
Amid the foison of love's field | B |
What mouth O mournful Anteros | A |
Must eat the grain the seasons yield | B |
- | |
Thy touch O mortal Anteros | A |
Has turned the sapphic laurel sere | C |
Thy wings have cast their night across | A |
The dial of our Saturnian year | C |
The cypress O sad Anteros | A |
Grew darker when thou drewest near | C |
- | |
O lover thy black prayer unsay | A |
Who called on baleful Anteros | A |
Crown thee with nettles kneel and lay | D |
Thy brows upon love's altar close | A |
To the departing Eros pray | D |
Against the wrath of Anteros | A |
