Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDCEFGH CIJKLMBBNOODOBPMBCBC QRKC| My beloved is a well of clear waters | A |
| To which I have come at noontide | B |
| From the land of the Abomination of Desolation | C |
| From the lion dreaded waste | B |
| Where nothing dwelleth but the inconsolable crying of an evil wind | B |
| And the wandering realms and cities of the wide mirage | D |
| Where no one passeth except the sun | C |
| Who walked like a terrible god through the hell of the brazen skies | E |
| And the dreadful cohorts of the constellations | F |
| Who pass remote in alien years | G |
| And clad with icy azures of unattainable distance | H |
| - | |
| My beloved is a singing fountain | C |
| Set in a wide oasis | I |
| Between the frondage of the fruitful palm | J |
| And the branches of the flowering myrtle | K |
| The wind that bloweth thereon | L |
| Hath lain in a vale of cassia and myrrh | M |
| And caressed the vermillion blossoms of the pomegranate | B |
| Whose red is the red of the lips of Astarte | B |
| A thousand nightingales are gathered there | N |
| From all the gardens of lost romance | O |
| And plots of purple and silver lillies | O |
| More beautiful than the meadows of mirage | D |
| Revive the flowers of Sabean queens | O |
| And the blossoms worn by all the princesses of legend | B |
| Ah suffer me to dwell | P |
| Thereby and forget the gilded cities of desire | M |
| The domes of spectral gold | B |
| That fled from horizon to horizon | C |
| Before me and left my feet in the sinking vales and shifting plains of the desert | B |
| Whose waters are green with corruption | C |
| And bitter with the dust and ashes of death | Q |
| Ah suffer me to sleep | R |
| In the balsam laden shadows of the palm and myrtle | K |
| By the ever springing fountain | C |
