Rhyme Scheme: A BBCCDDEFGHIIJJKKKKBB LLKKMMCCKKKKNN| This was my dream | A |
| - | |
| It seemed the afternoon | B |
| Of some deep tropic day and yet the moon | B |
| Stood round and bright with golden alchemy | C |
| High in a heaven bluer than the sea | C |
| Long lawny lengths of perishable cloud | D |
| Hung in a west o'er rolling forests bowed | D |
| Clouds raining colours gold and violet | E |
| That opening seemed from mystic worlds to let | F |
| Hints down of Parian beauty and lost charms | G |
| Of dim immortals young with floating forms | H |
| And all about me fruited orchards grew | I |
| Pear quince and peach and plums of dusty blue | I |
| Rose apricots and apples streaked with fire | J |
| Kissed into ripeness by the sun's desire | J |
| And big with juice And on far fading hills | K |
| Down which it seemed a hundred torrent rills | K |
| Flashed rushing silver vines and vines and vines | K |
| Of purple vintage swollen with cool wines | K |
| Pale pleasant wines and fragrant as late June | B |
| Their delicate tang drawn from the wine white moon | B |
| And from the clouds o'er this sweet world there dripped | L |
| An odorous music strangely feverish lipped | L |
| That swung and swooned and panted in mad sighs | K |
| Investing at each throb the air with eyes | K |
| And forms of sensuous spirits limpid white | M |
| Clad on with raiment as of starry night | M |
| Fair faint embodiments of melody | C |
| From out whose hearts of crystal one could see | C |
| The music stream like light through delicate hands | K |
| Hollowing a lamp And as on sounding sands | K |
| The ocean murmur haunts the rosy shells | K |
| Within whose convolutions beauty dwells | K |
| My soul became a vibrant harp of love | N |
| Re echoing all the harmony above | N |
