| When thy lips parted softly to my own | B |
| Ere the sun sank from doomed Poseidonis | A |
| - | |
| By nights of searing ecstasy and moan | B |
| The night wet bosoms in Pompeii bared | C |
| And the pale breasts and limbs in Lesbos known | B |
| - | |
| By dreams and deities and dolors shared | C |
| Before the Olympian glory passed from Greece | A |
| By sharp and secret raptures that we dared | C |
| - | |
| In Druid towers of ocean founded Ys | A |
| By every cup of wine in Naishapur | D |
| We drank by turns even to the purple lees | A |
| - | |
| By the dark Sabbats vowed to Lucifer | D |
| Making us one before his muffled throne | B |
| In rites of sorceress and sorcerer | D |
| - | |
| By the sealed ways no prophet has foreshown | B |
| Wheron our lips shall meet our footsteps go | E |
| By these by these I claim thee for mine own | B |
| - | |
| Even as I have claimed thee long ago | E |
