Rhyme Scheme: AAAAA ABAAB CDCCD EFEEF| The roses of voluptuousness | A |
| Wreathe her dark locks and hide her eyes | A |
| Her limbs are flower like nakedness | A |
| Wherethrough the fragrant blood doth press | A |
| The blossom blood of Paradise | A |
| - | |
| She stands with Lilith finger tips | A |
| With Lilith hands and gathers up | B |
| The wild wine of all life and sips | A |
| With Lilith laughter lightened lips | A |
| The soul as from a crystal cup | B |
| - | |
| What though she cast the cup away | C |
| The empty bowl that flashed with wine | D |
| Her curled lips' kiss that stained the clay | C |
| Her fingers' touch shall not these stay | C |
| That made its nothingness divine | D |
| - | |
| Through one again shall live the glow | E |
| Immortalizing of her touch | F |
| And through the other sweet to know | E |
| How life swept flame once 'neath the snow | E |
| Of her mooned breasts and this is much | F |
