| - | |
| To laud the loves of old | B |
| I sought for splendors fabulous and far | C |
| The curls of one were black Circean petals | D |
| Of poppies blown by night | E |
| In the sad gardens of a sinful star | C |
| Her eyes were mystic metals | D |
| Wrought with a secret told | B |
| By lost archangels in their flight | E |
| To women of the worlds that stray | F |
| On the red verges of the nether day | F |
| Her voice was like a lulling music blown | G |
| At sunset from an isle of spells | H |
| Across a lake of rosy nenuphar | F |
| And yet therein | I |
| Betimes I caught the chill and crystal bells | H |
| That grieved and grieved alone | G |
| Above the fallen din | I |
| Of cities drowsed with revelry and sin | I |
