Rhyme Scheme: ABCCAB DEFFDE GGCCGGDear goddess of the shining shrine | A |
Where all my votive tapers burn | B |
Where every gold embroidered thought | C |
And all my flowers of life are brought | C |
With many alas that are not mine | A |
What will you give me in return | B |
- | |
The bow in Bond Street in the Park | D |
The smile all worship on your lips | E |
The courteous word at dinner dance | F |
But never a blush a conscious glance | F |
At most at Henley in the dark | D |
Your fleet mistaken finger tips | E |
- | |
Ah just for once once only be | G |
An altar server stoop and set me | G |
Upon the altar richly wrought | C |
Of your most secret flower sweet thought | C |
One nightlight's flicker burn for me | G |
Before you sleep and quite forget me | G |
