Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCC DCDC EFEF| The little world span round and round | A |
| Singing along her sunny ways | B |
| And all the glory she unwound | A |
| She gave to him for joy and praise | B |
| - | |
| And he whom lavish morning met | C |
| With new blown flowers and minstrelsy | B |
| Looked on the gift through eyelids wet | C |
| For sorrow of satiety | C |

| And he whom noon put to the proof | D |
| With trumpet call and weapon blessed | C |
| Fought the brave fight with soul aloof | D |
| Harkening for some remote behest | C |
| - | |
| Not homeward could the winged feet fare | E |
| The lyric laughter choked a sigh | F |
| A wanderer from he knew not where | E |
| Dreamer of dreams he knew not why | F |
