Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFGFG HIJIIMy love looks like a girl to night | A |
But she is old | B |
The plaits that lie along her pillow | C |
Are not gold | B |
But threaded with filigree | D |
And uncanny cold | B |

She looks like a young maiden since her brow | E |
Is smooth and fair | F |
Her cheeks are very smooth her eyes are closed | G |
She sleeps a rare | F |
Still winsome sleep so still and so composed | G |

Nay but she sleeps like a bride and dreams her dreams | H |
Of perfect things | I |
She lies at last the darling in the shape of her dream | J |
And her dead mouth sings | I |
By its shape like the thrushes in clear evenings | I |
