Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GAGA CHCH IJKJ LMLM| LANGUIDLY the night wind bloweth | A |
| From the gardens round | B |
| Where the clear Barrada floweth | A |
| With a lulling sound | B |
| - | |
| Not the lute note's sweet shiver | C |
| Can such music find | D |
| As is on a wandering river | C |
| On a wandering wind | D |
| - | |
| There the Moslem leaneth dreaming | E |
| O'er the inward world | F |
| While around the fragrant steaming | E |
| Of the smoke is curled | F |
| - | |
| Rising from the coffee berry | G |
| Dark grape of the South | A |
| Or the pipe of polished cherry | G |
| With its amber mouth | A |
| - | |
| Cooled by passing through the water | C |
| Gurgling as it flows | H |
| Scented by the Summer's daughter | C |
| June's impassioned rose | H |
| - | |
| By that rose's spirit haunted | I |
| Are the dreams that rise | J |
| Of far lands and lives enchanted | K |
| And of deep black eyes | J |
| - | |
| Thus with some sweet dream's assistance | L |
| Float they down life's stream | M |
| Would to heaven our whole existence | L |
| Could be such a dream | M |
