Rhyme Scheme: AABBABCDEEFFFAAAAEEE EAAAEAEEGAAGEEAADCAA| Lost and alien lie the leas | A |
| Purfled all with euphrasies | A |
| Where the lunar unicorn | B |
| Breasts an amber pouring morn | B |
| Risen from hesperian seas | A |
| Of a main that has no bourn | B |
| Only things impossible | C |
| There in deathless glamor dwell | D |
| Pegasus and sagittary | E |
| Trotting part the ferns of faery | E |
| Succubi and seraphim | F |
| Tryst among the cedars dim | F |
| Where the beaded waters brim | F |
| White limoniads arise | A |
| Interlacing arms and tresses | A |
| With the sun dark satyresses | A |
| There on Aquilonian skies | A |
| Gryphons questing to and fro | E |
| For the gold of long ago | E |
| Find at eve an aureate star | E |
| In the gulf crepuscular | E |
| There the Hyperboreans | A |
| Pale with wisdom more than man's | A |
| Tell the wileful centauresses | A |
| Half their holocryptic lore | E |
| There at noon the tritonesses | A |
| All bemused with mandragore | E |
| Mate with satyrs of the shore | E |
| Love could we have only found | G |
| The forgotten road that runs | A |
| Under all the sunken suns | A |
| To that time estrang d ground | G |
| Surely love were proven there | E |
| More than long and lone despair | E |
| Holden and felicitous | A |
| Love were fortunate to us | A |
| And we too might ever dwell | D |
| Deathless and impossible | C |
| In those amber litten leas | A |
| Circled all with euphrasies | A |
