Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEEFEADADGDGD AGAGADADHDHD| Adieu Romauld But thou canst not forget me | A |
| Although no more I haunt thy dreams at night | B |
| Thy hungering heart forever must regret me | A |
| And starve for those lost moments of delight | B |
| Naught shall avail thy priestly rites and duties | C |
| Nor fears of Hell nor hopes of Heaven beyond | D |
| Before the Cross shall rise my fair form's beauties | C |
| The lips the limbs the eyes of Clarimonde | D |
| Like gall the wine sipped from the sacred chalice | E |
| Shall taste to one who knew my red mouth's bliss | E |
| When Youth and Beauty dwelt in Love's own palace | F |
| And life flowed on in one eternal kiss | E |
| Through what strange ways I come dear heart to reach thee | A |
| From viewless lands by paths no man e'er trod | D |
| I braved all fears all dangers dared to teach thee | A |
| A love more mighty than thy love of God | D |
| Think not in all His Kingdom to discover | G |
| Such joys Romauld as ours when fierce yet fond | D |
| I clasped thee kissed thee crowned thee my one lover | G |
| Thou canst not find another Clarimonde | D |
| I knew all arts of love he who possessed me | A |
| Possessed all women and could never tire | G |
| A new life dawned for him who once caressed me | A |
| Satiety itself I set on fire | G |
| Inconstancy I chained men died to win me | A |
| Kings cast by crowns for one hour on my breast | D |
| And all the passionate tide of love within me | A |
| I gave to thee Romauld Wert thou not blest | D |
| Yet for the love of God thy hand hath riven | H |
| Our welded souls But not in prayer well conned | D |
| Not in thy dearly purchased peace of Heaven | H |
| Canst thou forget those hours with Clarimonde | D |
