Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIJ KLML NOPO QRSR TGUG VWXW DYZA2| The Autumn pines and fades | A |
| Upon the withered trees | B |
| And over there a choked despair | C |
| You hear the moaning breeze | B |
| - | |
| The violets are dead | D |
| Dead the tall hollyhocks | E |
| That hang like rags on the wind crushed flags | F |
| And the lilies' livid stocks | E |
| - | |
| The wild gourd clambers free | G |
| Where the clematis was wont | H |
| Where nenuphars waxed thick as stars | I |
| Rank weeds stagnate the font | J |

| Yet in my dreams I hear | K |
| A tinkling mandolin | L |
| In the dark blue light of a fragrant night | M |
| Float in and out and in | L |

| And the dewy vine that climbs | N |
| To my lady's lattice sways | O |
| And behind the vine there come to shine | P |
| Two pleasant eyes and gaze | O |
| - | |
| And now a perfume comes | Q |
| A swift Favonian gust | R |
| And the shrinking grass where it doth pass | S |
| Bows slave like to the dust | R |
| - | |
| In dreams I see her drift | T |
| A mist of drapery | G |
| In her jeweled shawl divinely tall | U |
| A Dian deity | G |
| - | |
| The moon broods high and full | V |
| O'er the broken Psyche cold | W |
| And there she stands her dainty hands | X |
| And thin wrists warm with gold | W |
| - | |
| But lovers now are dead | D |
| The air is stung with frosts | Y |
| And naught may you find save the homeless wind | Z |
| Dead violets' ghosts and ghosts | A2 |
