Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBBCDECDE| No rose that in a garden ever grew | A |
| In Homer's or in Omar's or in mine | B |
| Though buried under centuries of fine | B |
| Dead dust of roses shut from sun and dew | A |
| Forever and forever lost from view | A |
| But must again in fragrance rich as wine | B |
| The grey aisles of the air incarnadine | B |
| When the old summers surge into a new | B |
| Thus when I swear I love with all my heart | C |
| 'Tis with the heart of Lilith that I swear | D |
| 'Tis with the love of Lesbia and Lucrece | E |
| And thus as well my love must lose some part | C |
| Of what it is had Helen been less fair | D |
| Or perished young or stayed at home in Greece | E |
