Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EBEBFGFG HBHBIJIJ| Between the hands between the brows | A |
| Between the lips of Love Lily | B |
| A spirit is born whose birth endows | A |
| My blood with fire to burn through me | B |
| Who breathes upon my gazing eyes | C |
| Who laughs and murmurs in mine ear | D |
| At whose least touch my colour flies | C |
| And whom my life grows faint to hear | D |
| - | |
| Within the voice within the heart | E |
| Within the mind of Love Lily | B |
| A spirit is born who lifts apart | E |
| His tremulous wings and looks at me | B |
| Who on my mouth his finger lays | F |
| And shows while whispering lutes confer | G |
| That Eden of Love's watered ways | F |
| Whose winds and spirits worship her | G |
| - | |
| Brows hands and lips heart mind and voice | H |
| Kisses and words of Love Lily | B |
| Oh bid me with your joy rejoice | H |
| Till riotous longing rest in me | B |
| Ah let not hope be still distraught | I |
| But find in her its gracious goal | J |
| Whose speech Truth knows not from her thought | I |
| Nor Love her body from her soul | J |
