Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJK LMNOPQRBST UVWXYZJA2B2C2 D2E2| UNDER the fluent folds of needlework | A |
| Where Balkis prick'd the histories of kings | B |
| Once great as he that were as greatly loved | C |
| Solomon stooped and saw the dusk unfold | D |
| Over the apple orchards like a flower | E |
| 'O bloom of eve ' he said 'diviner loss | F |
| Of all light gave us dove of the whole world | G |
| Bearing the branch of peace the dark sweet bough | H |
| Endure a little longer ere full night | I |
| Comes stark from God and terrible with stars | J |
| Eternal as He or love | K |
| - | |
| Now no one wakes | L |
| But a lean gardener by my apricots | M |
| Sweeping the withered leaves the yellowing leaves | N |
| Down the wind's road Perish our years with them | O |
| Our griefs our little hungers our poor sins | P |
| Leaves that the Lord hath scattered He shall quench | Q |
| The fierce impetuous torches of the sun | R |
| Yea from our dead dust He shall quicken kings | B |
| Unleash new battles sharpen spears unborn | S |
| Shadow on shadow but His stars remain | T |
| Immortal and love immortal crowned with them ' | - |
| - | |
| Night came and all the hosts thereof He saw | U |
| Arcturus clear the doorways of the cloud | V |
| And One that followed with his shining sons | W |
| In the likeness of a gardener that strode | X |
| Over the windy hollows of the sky | Y |
| And with a great broom drave the stars in heaps | Z |
| The yellow stars the little withering stars | J |
| Faint drifts along the darkness New stars came | A2 |
| Budded and flowered and fell These too He swept | B2 |
| And all the heavens were changed | C2 |
| - | |
| Then Solomon stood | D2 |
| Silent nor ever turned to the Queen's kiss | E2 |
