Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE FFGGHHIIJJKKLL| If you have seen a richer glow | A |
| Pray tell me where your roses blow | A |
| Look coral leaved and mark these spots | B |
| Red staining red in crimson clots | B |
| Like a sweet lip bitten through | C |
| In a pique There where that hue | C |
| Is spilt in drops some fairy thing | D |
| Hath gashed the azure of its wing | D |
| Or thence perhaps this very morn | E |
| Plucked the splinters of a thorn | E |
| - | |
| Rose I make thy bliss my care | F |
| In my lady's dusky hair | F |
| Thou shalt burn this coming night | G |
| With even a richer crimson light | G |
| To requite me thou shalt tell | H |
| What I might not say as well | H |
| How I love her how in brief | I |
| On a certain crimson leaf | I |
| In my bosom is a debt | J |
| Writ in deeper crimson yet | J |
| If she wonder what it be | K |
| But she'll guess it I foresee | K |
| Tell her that I date it pray | L |
| From the first sweet night in May | L |
