Rhyme Scheme: A BCCDDCCDECECEC| XXIX | A |
| - | |
| I think of thee mdash my thoughts do twine and bud | B |
| About thee as wild vines about a tree | C |
| Put out broad leaves and soon there 's nought to see | C |
| Except the straggling green which hides the wood | D |
| Yet O my palm tree be it understood | D |
| I will not have my thoughts instead of thee | C |
| Who art dearer better Rather instantly | C |
| Renew thy presence as a strong tree should | D |
| Rustle thy boughs and set thy trunk all bare | E |
| And let these bands of greenery which insphere thee | C |
| Drop heavily down mdash burst shattered everywhere | E |
| Because in this deep joy to see and hear thee | C |
| And breathe within thy shadow a new air | E |
| I do not think of thee mdash I am too near thee | C |
