Rhyme Scheme: AB CA DE AF GA| I would have taken Golden Stars from the sky for your necklace | A |
| I would have shaken rose leaves for your rest from all the rose trees | B |
| - | |
| But you had no need the short sweet grass sufficed for your slumber | C |
| And you took no heed of such trifles as gold or a necklace | A |
| - | |
| There is an hour at twilight too heavy with memory | D |
| There is a flower that I fear for your hair had its fragrance | E |
| - | |
| I would have squandered Youth for you and its hope and its promise | A |
| Before you wandered careless away from my useless passion | F |
| - | |
| But what is the use of my speech since I know of no words to recall you | G |
| I am praying that Time may teach you your Cruelty me Forgetfulness | A |
