Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHEHEIJKJ LMLN| The dull earth swung in silence o er | A |
| A dreamless world a dreary star | B |
| Until the doves of Venus bore | C |
| To Thessaly her ivory car | B |
| She whispered to the sea and air | D |
| And lightly with her wand she smote | E |
| The solid earth till everywhere | D |
| The birds gave forth a sweeter note | E |
| Whereat the sun did brighter shine | F |
| More richly did the roses blow | G |
| And like deep peace a joy divine | F |
| Did fill the souls of men below | G |
| And still are showered her magic arts | H |
| On man and maiden hand in hand | E |
| Who hear a music in their hearts | H |
| Which none but they can understand | E |
| A sweeter perfume sheds the rose | I |
| A deeper azure tints the sky | J |
| And softly with the daylight s close | K |
| The doves of Venus hover nigh | J |
| Thus oft to earth doth she return | L |
| To strip the scales from mortal eyes | M |
| And sends us Love that we may learn | L |
| How Earth may yet be Paradise | N |
