Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDECDE FGFGEEAEEA ECECEHIEJI ECECECKECK LMLMNEOPEQ EQEQRSERSE| What ogive gates from gold of Ophir wrought | A |
| What walls of bastioned Parian lucid rose | B |
| What marts of crystal for the eyes of Thought | A |
| Hast builded on what Islands of Repose | B |
| Vague onyx columns ranked Corinthian | C |
| Or piled Ionic colonnading heights | D |
| That loom above long burst of mythic seas | E |
| Vast gynaeceums of carnelian | C |
| Micaceous temples far marmorean flights | D |
| Where winds the arabesque and plastique frieze | E |
| - | |
| Where bulbous domes of coruscating ore | F |
| Cloud like convulsive sunsets lands that dream | G |
| Myrrh fragrant over siren seas and hoar | F |
| Dashed with stiff breezy foam of ocean's stream | G |
| Tempestuous architecture revelries | E |
| Built melodies of marble or clear glass | E |
| Effulgent sculptures chiseled out of thought | A |
| In misty attitudes whose majesties | E |
| Feed full the pleasure as those beauties pass | E |
| To pale extinctions which are beauty fraught | A |
| - | |
| On rebeck and on rose in plinths of spars | E |
| On glimmering solitudes of flower and stone | C |
| A twilight glow swoons settled burned with stars | E |
| Deep violet dusk developing nor done | C |
| Where float fair nacreous shapes like deities | E |
| Existences of glory musical | H |
| 'Round whose warm hair twist fillets' coiling gold | I |
| Their limbs Olympian lovely and their eyes | E |
| Dark oblique fervors and most languorous tall | J |
| In woven white with girdling gold threefold | I |
| - | |
| There darkling the consummate vintage sleeps | E |
| Lethe nepenthes for Earth agony | C |
| In seal d amphorae some Sybil keeps | E |
| World old forever cellared secretly | C |
| A wine of Xeres or of Syracuse | E |
| A fierce Falernian Ah no vile Sabine | C |
| A stol'n ambrosia of what olden god | K |
| Whose bubbled rubies maiden feet did bruise | E |
| From crusted vats of vintage rich I ween | C |
| Vivacious purple of some Samian sod | K |
| - | |
| Oh for the cold conclusion of one draught | L |
| Elysian ecstacy of classic earth | M |
| Where heroes warred with gods and where gods laughed | L |
| In eyes of mortal brown a lusty mirth | M |
| Of deity delirious with desire | N |
| Where danced the sacrifice to horn d shrines | E |
| And splashed the full libation blue as blood | O |
| Oh to be drunk with dreaming to inspire | P |
| The very soul of beauty whence it shines | E |
| Too lost for utterance yet understood | Q |
| - | |
| In cogitation of what verdurous shades | E |
| Dull droning quietudes where wild bees lolled | Q |
| Suck lulled in pulpy lilies of the glades | E |
| Barbaric smothered with the kerneled gold | Q |
| Teased by some torso of the golden age | R |
| Nude breasts of Cytherea famous fair | S |
| Uncestus'd yet suggestive of what loves | E |
| Immortal yearn enamoured or to rage | R |
| With sun burnt Poesy whose throat breathes bare | S |
| O'er leopard skins and flute among her groves | E |
