Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGHPassion not hers who held me with pure eyes | A |
One hand among the deep curls of her brow | B |
I drank the girlhood of her gaze with sighs | A |
She never sighed nor gave me kiss or vow | B |

So have I seen a clear October pool | C |
Cold liquid topaz set within the sere | D |
Gold of the woodland tremorless and cool | C |
Reflecting all the heartbreak of the year | D |
- | |
Sweetheart not she whose voice was music sweet | E |
Whose face loaned language to melodious prayer | F |
Sweetheart I called her When did she repeat | E |
Sweet to one hope or heart to one despair | F |

So have I seen a wildflower's fragrant head | G |
Sung to and sung to by a longing bird | H |
And at the last albeit the bird lay dead | G |
No blossom wilted for it had not heard | H |
