Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GAGA CHCH IJKJ LMLM| LANGUIDLY the night wind bloweth | 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 |

| Of far lands and lives enchanted | K |
| And of deep black eyes | J |

| Float they down life's stream | M |
| Would to heaven our whole existence | L |
| Could be such a dream | M |
