Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCEOh yes they love through all this world of ours | A |
I will not gainsay love called love forsooth | B |
I have heard love talked in my early youth | B |
And since not so long back but that the flowers | A |
Then gathered smell still Mussulmans and Giaours | A |
Throw kerchiefs at a smile and have no ruth | B |

Through sorrow and sickness to bring souls to touch | C |
And think it soon when others cry i Too late i | E |
