Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJKLKL| Draw close the lattice and the door | A |
| Shut out the very stars above | B |
| No other eyes than mine shall pore | A |
| Upon this thrilling tale of love | B |
| As since the book was open last | C |
| Along its dear and sacred text | D |
| No other eyes than thine have passed | C |
| Be mine the eyes that trace it next | D |
| - | |
| Oh very nobly is it wrought | E |
| This web of love's divinest light | F |
| But not to feed my soul with thought | E |
| Hang I upon the book to night | F |
| I read it only for thy sake | G |
| To every page my lips I press | H |
| The very leaves appear to make | G |
| A silken rustle like thy dress | H |
| - | |
| And so as each blest page I turn | I |
| I seem with many a secret thrill | J |
| To touch a soft white hand and burn | I |
| To clasp and kiss it at my will | J |
| Oh if a fancy be so sweet | K |
| These shadowy fingers touching mine | L |
| How wildly would my pulses beat | K |
| If they COULD feel the beat of thine | L |
