Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDB EFEFGHF IFIFJJF FKFKFFK KJKJFAJ| All day the primroses have thought of thee | A |
| Their golden heads close haremed from the heat | B |
| All day the mystic moonflowers silkenly | C |
| Veiled snowy faces that no bee might greet | B |
| Or butterfly that weighed with pollen passed | D |
| Keeping Sultana charms for thee at last | D |
| Their lord who comest to salute each sweet | B |
| - | |
| Cool throated flowers that avoid the day's | E |
| Too fervid kisses every bud that drinks | F |
| The tipsy dew and to the starlight plays | E |
| Nocturns of fragrance thy wing'd shadow links | F |
| In bonds of secret brotherhood and faith | G |
| O bearer of their order's shibboleth | H |
| Like some pale symbol fluttering o'er these pinks | F |
| - | |
| What dost thou whisper in the balsam's ear | I |
| That sets it blushing or the hollyhock's | F |
| A syllabled silence that no man may hear | I |
| As dreamily upon its stem it rocks | F |
| What spell dost bear from listening plant to plant | J |
| Like some white witch some ghostly ministrant | J |
| Some spectre of some perished flower of phlox | F |
| - | |
| O voyager of that universe which lies | F |
| Between the four walls of this garden fair | K |
| Whose constellations are the fireflies | F |
| That wheel their instant courses everywhere' | K |
| 'Mid fairy firmaments wherein one sees | F |
| Mimic Bo tes and the Pleiades | F |
| Thou steerest like some fairy ship of air | K |
| - | |
| Gnome wrought of moonbeam fluff and gossamer | K |
| Silent as scent perhaps thou chariotest | J |
| Mab or King Oberon or haply her | K |
| His queen Titania on some midnight quest | J |
| Oh for the herb the magic euphrasy | F |
| That should unmask thee to mine eyes ah me | A |
| And all that world at which my soul hath guessed | J |
