Rhyme Scheme: ABCCA DDDDD DDEED DDDDFFD| When she my lady smiles | A |
| I feel as one who lost in darksome wilds | B |
| Sees suddenly the sun in middle sky | C |
| Shining upon him like a great glad eye | C |
| When my sweet lady smiles | A |
| - | |
| When she my lady laughs | D |
| I feel as one who some elixir quaffs | D |
| Some nameless nectar made of wines of suns | D |
| And through my veins a subtle iveresse runs | D |
| When my sweet lady laughs | D |
| - | |
| And when my lady talks | D |
| I am as one who by a brooklet walks | D |
| Some sweet tongued brooklet which the whole long day | E |
| Holds converse with the birds along the way | E |
| When my loved lady talks | D |
| - | |
| And when my lady sings | D |
| Oh then I hear the beat of silver wings | D |
| All that is earthly from beneath me slips | D |
| And in the liquid cadence of her lips | D |
| I float so near the Infinite I seem | F |
| Lost in the glory of a white starred dream | F |
| When my sweet lady sings | D |
