Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJKH JJLMNOPPQQJJRRESJJTT UVJJWW| BALKIS was in her marble town | A |
| And shadow over the world came down | A |
| Whiteness of walls towers and piers | B |
| That all day dazzled eyes to tears | C |
| Turned from being white golden flame | D |
| And like the deep sea blue became | D |
| Balkis into her garden went | E |
| Her spirit was in discontent | E |
| Like a torch in restless air | F |
| Joylessly she wandered there | F |
| And saw her city's azure white | G |
| Lying under the great night | G |
| Beautiful as the memory | H |
| Of a worshipping world would be | H |
| In the mind of a god in the hour | I |
| When he must kill his outward power | I |
| And coming to a pool where trees | J |
| Grew in double greeneries | J |
| Saw herself as she went by | K |
| The water walking beautifully | H |
| And saw the stars shine in the glance | J |
| Of her eyes and her own fair countenance | J |
| Passing pale and wonderful | L |
| Across the night that filled the pool | M |
| And cruel was the grief that played | N |
| With the queen's spirit and she said | O |
| 'What do I here reigning alone | P |
| For to be unloved is to be alone | P |
| There is no man in all my land | Q |
| Dare my longing understand | Q |
| The whole folk like a peasant bows | J |
| Lest its look should meet my brows | J |
| And be harmed by this beauty of mine | R |
| I burn their brains as I were sign | R |
| Of God's beautiful anger sent | E |
| To master them with punishment | S |
| Of beauty that must pour distress | J |
| On hearts grown dark with ugliness | J |
| But it is I am the punisht one | T |
| Is there no man is there none | T |
| In whom my beauty will but move | U |
| The lust of a delighted love | V |
| In whom some spirit of God so thrives | J |
| That we may wed our lonely lives | J |
| Is there no man is there none ' | W |
| She said 'I will go to Solomon ' | W |
