| Upon a terraced height | B |
| And 'mid the roses opal moonbeam kissed | A |
| A fountain falling white | B |
| - | |
| And as the full moon flows | C |
| Orbed fire into a cloud | D |
| There is a fragrant sound as if a rose | C |
| Had sighed its soul aloud | D |
| - | |
| There is a whisper pale | E |
| As if a rose awoke | F |
| And having heard in sleep the nightingale | E |
| Still dreaming of it spoke | F |
| - | |
| Now as from some vast shell | G |
| A giant pearl rolls white | B |
| From the dividing cloud that winds compel | G |
| The moon sweeps big and bright | B |
| - | |
| Moon mists and pale perfumes | H |
| Wind wafted through the dusk | I |
| There is a sound as if unfolding blooms | H |
| Voiced their sweet thoughts in musk | I |
| - | |
| A spirit is abroad | J |
| Of music and of sleep | K |
| The moon and mists have made for it a road | L |
| Adown the violet deep | K |
| - | |
| It breathes a tale to me | M |
| A tale of ancient day | N |
| And like a dream again I seem to see | M |
| Those towers old and gray | N |
| - | |
| That castle by the foam | O |
| Where once our hearts made moan | P |
| And through the night again you seem to come | Q |
| Down statued stairs of stone | P |
| - | |
| Again I feel your hair | R |
| Dark fragrant deep and cool | S |
| You lift your face up pale with its despair | R |
| And wildly beautiful | T |
| - | |
| Again your form I strain | U |
| Again unto my heart | V |
| Again your lips again and yet again | W |
| I press and then we part | V |
| - | |
| As centuries ago | X |
| We did in Camelot | Y |
| Where once we lived that life of bliss and woe | X |
| That you remember not | Y |
| - | |
| When you were Guinevere | R |
| And I was Launcelot | Y |
| I have remembered many and many a year | R |
| And you you have forgot | Y |
