Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCDCEEFGFHG I JKKJKCKCKLLMGMGG| In some glad way I know thereof | A |
| A garden glows down in my heart | B |
| Wherein I meet and often part | B |
| With many an ancient tale of love | A |
| A Romeo garden banked with bloom | C |
| And trellised with the eglantine | D |
| In which a rose climbs to a room | C |
| A balcony one mass of vine | D |
| Dim haunted of perfume | C |
| A balcony whereon she gleams | E |
| The soft Desire of all Dreams | E |
| And smiles and bends like Juliet | F |
| Year after year | G |
| While to her side all dewy wet | F |
| A rose stuck in his ear | H |
| Love climbs to draw her near | G |

| And in another way I know | J |
| Down in my soul a graveyard lies | K |
| Wherein I meet in ghostly wise | K |
| With many an ancient tale of woe | J |
| A graveyard of the Capulets | K |
| Deep vaulted with ancestral gloom | C |
| Through whose dark yews the moonlight jets | K |
| On many a wildly caryen tomb | C |
| That mossy mildew frets | K |
| A graveyard where the Soul's Desire | L |
| Sleeps pale entombed and kneeling by her | L |
| Love like that hapless Montague | M |
| Year after year | G |
| Weary and worn and wild of hue | M |
| Within her sepulchre | G |
| Falls bleeding on her bier | G |
