Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAEBAFGFFFFGFFHII FFHFJKLLJJMJ| A Broken rainbow on the skies of May | A |
| Touching the dripping roses and low clouds | B |
| And in wet clouds its scattered glories lost | C |
| So in the sorrow of her soul the ghost | D |
| Of one great love of iridescent ray | A |
| Spanning the roses dim of memory | E |
| Against the tumult of life's rushing crowds | B |
| A broken rainbow on the skies of May | A |
| A flashing humming bird among the flowers | F |
| Deep coloured blooms its slender tongue and bill | G |
| Sucking the syrups and the calyxed myrrhs | F |
| Till being full of sweets away it whirrs | F |
| Such was his love that won her heart's rich bowers | F |
| To give to him their all their honied showers | F |
| The bloom from which he drank his body's fill | G |
| A flashing humming bird among the flowers | F |
| A moon moth white that through long mists of fleece | F |
| Moves amber girt into a bulk of black | H |
| And lost to vision rims the black with froth | I |
| A love that swept its moon like some great moth | I |
| Across the heaven of her soul's young peace | F |
| And smoothly passing in the clouds did cease | F |
| Of time through which its burning light comes back | H |
| A moon moth white that moves through mists of fleece | F |
| A bolt of living thunder downward hurled | J |
| Momental blazing from the piled up storm | K |
| That instants out the mountains and the ocean | L |
| The towering crag then blots the sight's commotion | L |
| Love love that swiftly coming bared the world | J |
| The deeps of life 'round which fate's clouds are curled | J |
| And ceasing left all night and black alarm | M |
| A bolt of living thunder downward hurled | J |
