Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD EFEGHHII JKJK LMNO PQPQRRSS| When by the wall the tiger flower swings | A |
| A head of sultry slumber and aroma | B |
| And by the path whereon the blown rose flings | A |
| Its obsolete beauty the long lilies foam a | B |
| White place of perfume like a beautiful breast | C |
| Between the pansy fire of the west | C |
| And poppy mist of moonrise in the east | D |
| This heartache will have ceased | D |
| - | |
| The witchcraft of soft music and sweet sleep | E |
| Let it beguile the burthen from my spirit | F |
| And white dreams reap me as strong reapers reap | E |
| The ripened grain and full blown blossom near it | G |
| Let me behold how gladness gives the whole | H |
| The transformed countenance of my own soul | H |
| Between the sunset and the risen moon | I |
| Let sorrow vanish soon | I |
| - | |
| And these things then shall keep me company | J |
| The elfins of the dew the spirit of laughter | K |
| Who haunts the wind the god of melody | J |
| Who sings within the stream that reaches after | K |
| - | |
| The flow'rs that rock themselves to his caress | L |
| These of themselves shall shape my happiness | M |
| Whose visible presence I shall lean upon | N |
| Feeling that care is gone | O |
| - | |
| Forgetting how the cankered flower must die | P |
| The worm pierced fruit fall sicklied to its syrup | Q |
| How joy begotten 'twixt a sigh and sigh | P |
| Waits with one foot forever in the stirrup | Q |
| Remembering how within the hollow lute | R |
| Soft music sleeps when music's voice is mute | R |
| And in the heart when all seems black despair | S |
| Hope sits awaiting there | S |
