Rhyme Scheme: ABCCAAACAAACCAA| 'APOLLO laughs ' the proverb tells | A |
| Far echo of old oracles | B |
| A Delphic waif 'Once in the year | C |
| Apollo laughs ' O laughter clear | C |
| As sunshine blithe as golden bells | A |
| What mortal folly parallels | A |
| Olympian jest and so impels | A |
| To mirth till Heaven's bright charioteer | C |

| Of music earth shall thrill to hear | C |
| Then at Apollo's infidels | A |
| Apollo laughs | A |
