Rhyme Scheme: ABA ABA ABA ABA ABA ABAA| I took her dainty eyes as well | A |
| As silken tendrils of her hair | B |
| And so I made a Villanelle | A |
| - | |
| I took her voice a silver bell | A |
| As clear as song as soft as prayer | B |
| I took her dainty eyes as well | A |
| - | |
| It may be said I who can tell | A |
| These things shall be my less despair | B |
| And so I made a Villanelle | A |
| - | |
| I took her whiteness virginal | A |
| And from her cheek two roses rare | B |
| I took her dainty eyes as well | A |
| - | |
| I said It may be possible | A |
| Her image from my heart to tear | B |
| And so I made a Villanelle | A |
| - | |
| I stole her laugh most musical | A |
| I wrought it in with artful care | B |
| I took her dainty eyes as well | A |
| And so I made a Villanelle | A |
