Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH GGJG| If the stars fell night's nameless dreams | A |
| Of bliss and blasphemy came true | B |
| If skies were green and snow were gold | C |
| And you loved me as I love you | B |
| - | |
| O long light hands and curled brown hair | D |
| And eyes where sits a naked soul | E |
| Dare I even then draw near and burn | F |
| My fingers in the aureole | E |
| - | |
| Yes in the one wise foolish hour | G |
| God gives this strange strength to a man | H |
| He can demand though not deserve | I |
| Where ask he cannot seize he can | H |
| - | |
| But once the blood's wild wedding o'er | G |
| Were not dread his half dark desire | G |
| To see the Christ child in the cot | J |
| The Virgin Mary by the fire | G |
