Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBBBBBBB| XXVIII | A |
| - | |
| My letters all dead paper mute and white | B |
| And yet they seem alive and quivering | C |
| Against my tremulous hands which loose the string | C |
| And let them drop down on my knee to night | B |
| This said he wished to have me in his sight | B |
| Once as a friend this fixed a day in spring | C |
| To come and touch my hand a simple thing | C |
| Yet I wept for it this the paper's light | B |
| Said Dear I love thee and I sank and quailed | B |
| As if God's future thundered on my past | B |
| This said I am thine and so its ink has paled | B |
| With Iying at my heart that beat too fast | B |
| And this O Love thy words have ill availed | B |
| If what this said I dared repeat at last | B |
