Rhyme Scheme: ABCAD EFEEG HCEIJ EEKEL EMNEO| The lamp shone golden where she slept | A |
| Shining against deep folded shadows | B |
| There was no stir but her slow breathing | C |
| Save when a long sigh crept | A |
| Between her lips | D |
| - | |
| Her hair spread dark in that faint light | E |
| Her shut eyes showed the long dark lashes | F |
| Still now that with her laughter quivered | E |
| On the white sheet lay white | E |
| And limp her hands | G |
| - | |
| Golden against the shadow shone | H |
| The lamp's small flame till dawn was brightening | C |
| And on the flame a gold beam slanted | E |
| The shadows lingering on | I |
| Grew faint and thin | J |
| - | |
| Sleeping she murmured stirred and sighed | E |
| A dream from her sleep vision faded | E |
| Her earthly eyes 'neath languid eyelids | K |
| Wakened her bosom cried | E |
| Come back come back | L |
| - | |
| Come back my dream Rising she drest | E |
| Her beauty's lamp with cunning fingers | M |
| She had the look of birds a flutter | N |
| Round dewy trees with breast | E |
| Throbbing with song | O |
