| With lemon heavy odours where | B |
| The heliotropes breathe drowsy musk | A |
| Into the jasmine dreamy air | B |
| The moss rose bursts its dewy husk | A |
| And spills its attar there | B |
| - | |
| The orange at thy casement swings | C |

| Awake awake from sleep | E |
| Thy balmy hair | B |
| Down fallen deep on deep | E |

| And dreaming here it seems to me | F |
| A dryad's bosom grows confessed | G |
| Bright in the moss of yonder tree | F |
| That rustles with the murmurous West | G |
| Or is it but a bloom I see | F |
| Round as thy virgin breast | G |
| - | |
| Through fathomless deeps above are rolled | H |
| A million feverish worlds that burst | I |
| Like gems from Heaven's caskets old | H |
| Of darkness fires that throb and thirst | I |
| An aloe showering buds of gold | H |
| The night seems star immersed | I |
| - | |
| Unseal unseal thine eyes | C |
| O'er which her rod | J |
| Sleep sways and like the skies | C |
| That dream and nod | J |
| Their starry majesties | C |
| Will fill the night with God | J |
| - | |
| Unseal unseal thine eyes | C |
