Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBDEDEDE| XXIII | A |
| - | |
| Is it indeed so If I lay here dead | B |
| Wouldst thou miss any life in losing mine | C |
| And would the sun for thee more coldly shine | C |
| Because of grave damps falling round my head | B |
| I marvelled my Beloved when I read | B |
| Thy thought so in the letter I am thine | C |
| But so much to thee Can I pour thy wine | C |
| While my hands tremble Then my soul instead | B |
| Of dreams of death resumes life's lower range | D |
| Then love me Love look on me breathe on me | E |
| As brighter ladies do not count it strange | D |
| For love to give up acres and degree | E |
| I yield the grave for thy sake and exchange | D |
| My near sweet view of Heaven for earth with thee | E |
