Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCD EBEB FBFB GBGB HBHB IBJ| I Dreamed my soul went wandering in | A |
| An island dim with mystery | B |
| An island that because of sin | A |
| No mortal eye shall ever see | B |
| - | |
| And while I walked one came unseen | C |
| And gazed into my eyes ah me | B |
| Her presence was a rose between | C |
| The wind and me blown dreamily | D |
| - | |
| The lily that lifts up its dome | E |
| A tabernacle for the bee | B |
| A faery chapel fair as foam | E |
| Had not her absolute purity | B |

| The bird that hymns the falling leaf | F |
| That breaks its heart in melody | B |
| Says to the soul no raptured grief | F |
| Such as her presence said to me | B |

| That moment when I felt her eyes | G |
| Their starry transport instantly | B |
| I felt the indomitable skies | G |
| With all their worlds were less to me | B |

| And when her hand lay in my own | H |
| Far intimations flashed through me | B |
| Of all the loves the world has known | H |
| And given to immortality | B |

| A look a touch and she was gone | I |
| And somewhere near but shadowy | B |
| A voice said 'This is Avalon | J |
| And she they soul's old tragedy ' | - |
