Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ KLMNOPQRSJTUVWQ XQYVZEOQ| I looked she drooped and neither spake and cold | A |
| We stood how unlike all forecasted thought | B |
| Of that desir ed minute Then I leaned | C |
| Doubting whereat she lifted oh brave eyes | D |
| Unfrighted forward like a wind blown flame | E |
| Came bosom and mouth to mine | F |
| That falling kiss | G |
| Touching long laid expectance all went up | H |
| Suddenly into passion yea the night | I |
| Caught blazed and wrapt us round in vibrant fire | J |

| Time's beating wing subsided and the winds | K |
| Caught up their breathing and the world's great pulse | L |
| Stayed in mid throb and the wild train of life | M |
| Reeled by and left us stranded on a hush | N |
| This moment is a statue unto Love | O |
| Carved from a fair white silence | P |
| Lo he stands | Q |
| Within us are we not one now one one roof | R |
| His roof and the partition of weak flesh | S |
| Gone down before him and no more for ever | J |
| Stands like a bird new lit and as he lit | T |
| Poised in our quiet being only only | U |
| Within our shaken hearts the air of passion | V |
| Cleft by his sudden coming eddies still | W |
| And whirs round his enchanted movelessness | Q |
| - | |
| - | |
| A film of trance between two stirrings Lo | X |
| It bursts yet dream's snapped links cling round the limbs | Q |
| Of waking like a running evening stream | Y |
| Which no man hears or sees or knows to run | V |
| Glazed with dim quiet save that there the moon | Z |
| Is shattered to a creamy flicker of flame | E |
| Our eyes' sweet trouble were hid save that the love | O |
| Trembles a little on their impassioned calms | Q |
