Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEAF AGAACCH DIA AJCC| Very red are the roses of Sharon | A |
| But redder thy mouth | B |
| There is nard there is myrrh in En Gedi | C |
| From the uplands of Lebanon heavy | D |
| With balsam the winds | E |
| Drift freighted and scented and cedarn | A |
| But thy mouth is more precious than spices | F |
| - | |
| Thy breasts are twin lilies of Kedron | A |
| White lilies that sleep | G |
| In the shallows where loitering Kedron | A |
| Broadens out and is lost in the Jordan | A |
| Globed lilies so white | C |
| That David thy King thy beloved | C |
| Declareth them meet for his gardens | H |
| - | |
| Under the stars very strangely | D |
| The still waters gleam | I |
| Deep down in the waters of Hebron | A |
| - | |
| The soul of the starlight is sunken | A |
| But deep in thine eyes | J |
| Stirs a more wonderful secret | C |
| Than pools ever learn of the starlight | C |
