Rhyme Scheme: AABBBA CCDDDC EEFFGE EEHHHE AAIIIA AAJJJA KKLLLK EEMMME NABBBA| Roses brier on brier | A |
| Like a hedge of fire | A |
| Walled it from the world and rolled | B |
| Crimson 'round it manifold | B |
| Blossoms 'mid which once of old | B |
| Walked my Heart's Desire | A |
| - | |
| There the golden Hours | C |
| Dwelt and 'mid the bowers | C |
| Beauty wandered like a maid | D |
| And the Dreams that never fade | D |
| Sat within its haunted shade | D |
| Gazing at the flowers | C |
| - | |
| There the winds that vary | E |
| Melody and marry | E |
| Perfume unto perfume went | F |
| Whispering to the buds that bent | F |
| Messages whose wonderment | G |
| Made them sweet to carry | E |
| - | |
| There the waters hoary | E |
| Murmured many a story | E |
| To the leaves that leaned above | H |
| Listening to their tales of love | H |
| While the happiness thereof | H |
| Flushed their green with glory | E |
| - | |
| There the sunset's shimmer | A |
| 'Mid the bowers dimmer | A |
| Than the woods where Fable dwells | I |
| And Romance her legends tells | I |
| Wrought dim dreams and dimmer spells | I |
| Filled with golden glimmer | A |
| - | |
| There at night the wonder | A |
| Of the moon would sunder | A |
| Foliage deeps with breast of pearl | J |
| Wandering like a glimmering girl | J |
| Fair of form and bright of curl | J |
| Through the trees and under | A |
| - | |
| There the stars would follow | K |
| Over hill and hollow | K |
| Spirit shapes that danced the dew | L |
| From frail cups of sparry hue | L |
| Firefly forms that fleeter flew | L |
| Than the fleetest swallow | K |
| - | |
| There my heart made merry | E |
| There 'mid bloom and berry | E |
| Dreamed the dreams that are no more | M |
| In that garden lost of yore | M |
| Set in seas without a shore | M |
| That no man may ferry | E |
| - | |
| Where perhaps her lyre | N |
| Wreathed with serest brier | A |
| Sorrow strikes now sad its gold | B |
| Sighing where 'mid roses old | B |
| Fair of face and dead and cold | B |
| Lies my Heart's Desire | A |
