Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EFFEFGHIIG JJFFKKFF| Her hair was oh so dense a blur | A |
| Of darkness midnight envied her | A |
| And stars grew dimmer in the skies | B |
| To see the glory of her eyes | B |
| And all the summer rain of light | C |
| That showered from the moon at night | C |
| Fell o'er her features as the gloom | D |
| Of twilight o'er a lily bloom | D |
| - | |
| The crimson fruitage of her lips | E |
| Was ripe and lush with sweeter wine | F |
| Than burgundy or muscadine | F |
| Or vintage that the burgher sips | E |
| In some old garden on the Rhine | F |
| And I to taste of it could well | G |
| Believe my heart a crucible | H |
| Of molten love and I could feel | I |
| The drunken soul within me reel | I |
| And rock and stagger till it fell | G |
| - | |
| And do you wonder that I bowed | J |
| Before her splendor as a cloud | J |
| Of storm the golden sandaled sun | F |
| Had set his conquering foot upon | F |
| And did she will it I could lie | K |
| In writhing rapture down and die | K |
| A death so full of precious pain | F |
| I'd waken up to die again | F |
