Rhyme Scheme: ABA CDC EFE GAH IBI JKJ LML| O'er gardens lulled with ghostly light | A |
| In music leaned the languorous moon | B |
| The burden of the murmured night | A |
| - | |
| Where amaranthine lilies wore | C |
| In lofty pallor fully blown | D |
| An ivory silence evermore | C |
| - | |
| Bemused I saw the night's white song | E |
| The flowers' moon measured lullaby | F |
| Its visible pale rune prolong | E |
| - | |
| Then to my spelled reluctant ear | G |
| A whisper louder than the light | A |
| Pierced as from alien presence near | H |
| - | |
| Till half I deemed to shortly see | I |
| A silver seraph of the moon | B |
| Or star shape harping mystery | I |
| - | |
| But wingless yet the midnight seemed | J |
| The garden footless to my gaze | K |
| Save for a wind that briefly gleamed | J |
| - | |
| Upon the pensive packed hours | L |
| And moonlight fluttering like a moth | M |
| Amid the swayed enormous flowers | L |
