Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBCDEFDGHGHGIJKHL MMMLALAAL| I walk I only | A |
| Not I only wake | B |
| Nothing is this sweet night | C |
| But doth couch and wake | B |
| For its love's sake | B |
| Everything this sweet night | C |
| Couches with its mate | D |
| For whom but for the stealthy visitant sun | E |
| Is the naked moon | F |
| Tremulous and elate | D |
| The heaven hath the earth | G |
| Its own and all apart | H |
| The hush ed pool holdeth | G |
| A star to its heart | H |
| You may think the rose sleepeth | G |
| But though she folded is | I |
| The wind doubts her sleeping | J |
| Not all the rose sleeps | K |
| But smiles in her sweet heart | H |
| For crafty bliss | L |
| The wind lieth with the rose | M |
| And when he stirs she stirs in her repose | M |
| The wind hath the rose | M |
| And the rose her kiss | L |
| Ah mouth of me | A |
| Is it then that this | L |
| Seemeth much to thee | A |
| I wander only | A |
| The rose hath her kiss | L |
