Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDF GHIH JKLK DMBM| O take your pale camellias back | A |
| Their soft leaves waxen white | B |
| And odorless too ill accord | C |
| With my dark mood to night | B |
| - | |
| I do not want your hot house flowers | D |
| They're like the love you give | E |
| A something tame and passionless | D |
| That breaths but does not live | F |
| - | |
| You take my hand as though you feared | G |
| Your clasp were over bold | H |
| Your kiss falls light at flake of snow | I |
| And just as calm and cold | H |
| - | |
| I'd rather have your hatred | J |
| Than this lifeless loving claim | K |
| If your heart beat one throb faster | L |
| At mention of my name | K |
| - | |
| Leave me and bind those soulless leaves | D |
| A calmer brow above | M |
| I cannot wear your flowers to night | B |
| I do not want your love | M |
