Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ JKJK LMLM ALAL| Not while I live may I forget | A |
| That garden which my spirit trod | B |
| Where dreams were flowers wild and wet | A |
| And beautiful as God | B |
| - | |
| Not while I breathe awake adream | C |
| Shall live again for me those hours | D |
| When in its mystery and gleam | C |
| I met her 'mid the flowers | D |
| - | |
| Eyes talismanic heliotrope | E |
| Beneath mesmeric lashes where | F |
| The sorceries of love and hope | E |
| Had made a shining lair | F |
| - | |
| And daydawn brows whereover hung | G |
| The twilight of dark locks wild birds | H |
| Her lips that spoke the rose's tongue | G |
| Of fragrance voweled words | H |
| - | |
| I will not tell of cheeks and chin | I |
| That held me as sweet language holds | J |
| Nor of the eloquence within | I |
| Her breasts' twin mooned molds | J |
| - | |
| Nor of her body's languorous | J |
| Wind grace that glanced like starlight through | K |
| Her clinging robe's diaphanous | J |
| Web of the mist and dew | K |
| - | |
| There is no star so pure and high | L |
| As was her look no fragrance such | M |
| As her soft presence and no sigh | L |
| Of music like her touch | M |
| - | |
| Not while I live may I forget | A |
| That garden of dim dreams where I | L |
| And Beauty born of Music met | A |
| Whose spirit passed me by | L |
