Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIHI JKJK LMLM NONO| Beyond the blue robed sleeping lake | A |
| I watch the flush of morning rise | B |
| While birds and flowers once more wake | A |
| To share with me my paradise | C |
| - | |
| Within this waveless bay of rest | D |
| The Alpine winds contend no more | E |
| But skim like gulls its dimpled breast | D |
| And sink to silence on its shore | E |
| - | |
| The breath of dawn descends the hills | F |
| And round me as I greet the day | G |
| I hear the lilt of laughing rills | F |
| And songs of fountains at their play | G |
| - | |
| Tall whispering trees their shadows fling | H |
| Athwart the trellised path I tread | I |
| And incense breathing roses swing | H |
| Their pendent censers o'er my head | I |
| - | |
| What Moorish ceiling e'er excelled | J |
| This arbor roofed with cups of gold | K |
| What Eastern casket ever held | J |
| The perfume which their leaves unfold | K |
| - | |
| Fair chalices of bloom swing low | L |
| And touch my lips with odors sweet | M |
| Enfold me in your ardent glow | L |
| While petals flutter to my feet | M |
| - | |
| Let for to day the dream remain | N |
| That life is rose hued like this aisle | O |
| A fragrant pathway free from pain | N |
| With every sun kissed flower a smile | O |
