Rhyme Scheme: AB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIK LBLB MGMG NONO L| Then felt I like some watcher of the skies | A |
| When a new planet swims within his ken | B |
| - | |
| I who had sought afar from earth | C |
| The faery land to greet | D |
| Now find content within its girth | C |
| And wonder nigh my feet | D |
| - | |
| To day a nearer love I choose | E |
| And seek no distant sphere | F |
| For aureoled by faery dews | E |
| The dear brown breasts appear | F |
| - | |
| With rainbow radiance come and go | G |
| The airy breaths of day | H |
| And eve is all a pearly glow | G |
| With moonlit winds a play | H |
| - | |
| The lips of twilight burn my brow | I |
| The arms of night caress | J |
| Glimmer her white eyes drooping now | I |
| With grave old tenderness | K |
| - | |
| I close mine eyes from dream to be | L |
| The diamond rayed again | B |
| As in the ancient hours ere we | L |
| Forgot ourselves to men | B |
| - | |
| And all I thought of heaven before | M |
| I find in earth below | G |
| A sunlight in the hidden core | M |
| To dim the noon day glow | G |
| - | |
| And with the Earth my heart is glad | N |
| I move as one of old | O |
| With mists of silver I am clad | N |
| And bright with burning gold | O |
