| Like jewels carven curiously | B |
| To symbols of a mystery | B |
| A secret lost ere time was old | A |
| - | |
| Like woven amber finely spun | C |
| Thy hair enwoofed with golden light | D |
| Remembers yet the flaming flight | D |
| Of some unknown archaic sun | C |

| Thine eyes are crystals green and chill | E |
| Wherein as in a shifting sea | B |
| Wan fires and drowning lusters flee | B |
| To starless deeps for ever still | E |

| Fallen across thy dreaming face | F |
| The dawn is made a secret thing | G |
| Like flame of crimson lamps that swing | G |
| In midnight caverns dim with space | F |

| Sphinx like unsolved eternally | B |
| Thy beauty's riddle doth abide | H |
| And love hath come and love hath died | H |
| Striving to read the mystery | B |
