Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| Thou art not lovelier than lilacs no | A |
| Nor honeysuckle thou art not more fair | B |
| Than small white single poppies I can bear | B |
| Thy beauty though I bend before thee though | A |
| From left to right not knowing where to go | A |
| I turn my troubled eyes nor here nor there | B |
| Find any refuge from thee yet I swear | B |
| So has it been with mist with moonlight so | A |

| Like him who day by day unto his draught | C |
| Of delicate poison adds him one drop more | D |
| Till he may drink unharmed the death of ten | E |
| Even so inured to beauty who have quaffed | C |
| Each hour more deeply than the hour before | D |
| I drink and live what has destroyed some men | E |
