Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| THE dark hour turns so slowly and so sweet | A |
| The last still hour soft fallen from the stars | B |
| To morrow I may kneel and touch thy feet | A |
| O Rose of all Shiraz | B |
| - | |
| Lay wide thine amorous lattice to the south | C |
| O Silver Rose when roses breathe thy name | D |
| And thou at dawn shalt feel upon thy mouth | C |
| The kiss I dared not claim | D |

| Discrowned dishonoured reft of pride and power | E |
| From the red battle where they hailed me lord | F |
| O Silver Rose O sweet Pomegranate Flower | E |
| I turn me to their sword | F |

| Life hath so held me to an empty part | G |
| Life hath so snared me bound and made me blind | H |
| To morrow I may rest upon thy heart | G |
| For death shall prove more kind | H |
