Rhyme Scheme: A BAB CAC DED FBG HAH IJI KLK HK| For Samuel Loveman | A |
| - | |
| O'er dreamland gardens lulled and white | B |
| In music leaned the langorous moon | A |
| The burden of the murmured night | B |
| - | |
| Where amaranths and lillies wore | C |
| In a lofty pallor fully blown | A |
| An ivory silence evermore | C |
| - | |
| Bemused I saw the night's white song | D |
| The flower's moon measured lullaby | E |
| Its visible pale rune prolong | D |
| - | |
| Then to my spelled reluctant ear | F |
| A whisper louder than the light | B |
| pierced as from alien presence near | G |
| - | |
| Till half I deemed to shortly see | H |
| A silver seraph of the moon | A |
| Or star shape harping mystery | H |
| - | |
| But wingless yet the midnight seemed | I |
| The garden footless to my gaze | J |
| Save for a wind that fleetly gleamed | I |
| - | |
| Upon the pensive paced hours | K |
| And moonlight fluttering like a moth | L |
| Amid the swayed enormous flowers | K |
