Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCED| MYSTERY lo betwixt the sun and moon | A |
| Astarte of the Syrians Venus Queen | B |
| Ere Aphrodite was In silver sheen | B |
| Her twofold girdle clasps the infinite boon | A |
| Of bliss whereof the heaven and earth commune | A |
| And from her neck's inclining flower stem lean | B |
| Love freighted lips and absolute eyes that wean | B |
| The pulse of hearts to the spheres' dominant tune | A |
| Torch bearing her sweet ministers compel | C |
| All thrones of light beyond the sky and sea | D |
| The witnesses of Beauty's face to be | D |
| That face of Love's all penetrative spell | C |
| Amulet talisman and oracle | E |
| Betwixt the sun and moon a mystery | D |
