Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGFHIJ KLF MNOFDPQRSF JTUU VWX YN| I am thy soul Nikoptis I have watched | A |
| These five millennia and thy dead eyes | B |
| Moved not nor ever answer my desire | C |
| And thy light limbs wherethrough I leapt aflame | D |
| Burn not with me nor any saffron thing | E |
| - | |
| See the light grass sprang up to pillow thee | F |
| And kissed thee with a myriad grassy tongues | G |
| But not thou me | F |
| I have read out the gold upon the wall | H |
| And wearied out my thought upon the signs | I |
| And there is no new thing in all this place | J |
| - | |
| I have been kind See I have left the jars sealed | K |
| Lest thou shouldst wake and whimper for thy wine | L |
| And all thy robes I have kept smooth on thee | F |
| - | |
| O thou unmindful How should I forget | M |
| Even the river many days ago | N |
| The river thou wast over young | O |
| And three souls came upon Thee | F |
| And I came | D |
| And I flowed in upon thee beat them off | P |
| have been intimate with thee known thy ways | Q |
| Have I not touched thy palms and finger tips | R |
| Flowed in and through thee and about thy heels | S |
| How 'came I in' Was I not thee and Thee | F |
| - | |
| And no sun comes to rest me in this place | J |
| And I am torn against the jagged dark | T |
| And no light beats upon me and you say | U |
| No word day after day | U |
| - | |
| Oh I could get me out despite the marks | V |
| And all their crafty work upon the door | W |
| Out through the glass green fields | X |
| - | |
| Yet it is quiet here | Y |
| I do not go | N |
