Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDFGHGHIJIJKLKL MNMNOPPPQRQRSTSLASAS TUTVBy the impulse of my will | A |
By the red flame in my blood | B |
By me nerves' electric thrill | A |
By the passion of my mood | C |
My concentrated desire | D |
My undying desperate love | E |
I ignore Fate I defy her | D |
Iron hearted Death I move | F |
When the town lies numb with sleep | G |
Here round eyed I sit my breath | H |
Quickly stirred my flesh a creep | G |
And I force the gates of death | H |
I nor move nor speak you'd deem | I |
From my quiet face and hands | J |
I were tranced but in her dream | I |
SHE responds she understands | J |
I have power on what is not | K |
Or on what has ceased to be | L |
From that deep earth hollowed spot | K |
I can lift her up to me | L |
And or ere I am aware | M |
Through the closed and curtained door | N |
Comes my lady white and fair | M |
And embraces me once more | N |
Though the clay clings to her gown | O |
Yet all heaven is in her eyes | P |
Cool kind fingers press mine eyes | P |
To my soul her soul replies | P |
But when breaks the common dawn | Q |
And the city wakes behold | R |
My shy phantom is withdrawn | Q |
And I shiver lone and cold | R |
And I know when she has left | S |
She is stronger far than I | T |
And more subtly spun her weft | S |
Than my human wizardry | L |
Though I force her to my will | A |
By the red flame in my blood | S |
By my nerves' electric thrill | A |
By the passion of my mood | S |
Yet all day a ghost am I | T |
Nerves unstrung spent will dull brain | U |
I achieve attain but die | T |
And she claims me hers again | V |
