Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF AAAAAA AGAGHH IAIAJJ KFKFLL GMGMAA| Ah I shall kill myself with dreams | A |
| These dreams that softly lap me round | B |
| Through trance like hours in which meseems | A |
| That I am swallowed up and drowned | B |
| Drowned in your love which flows o'er me | C |
| As o'er the seaweed flows the sea | C |
| - | |
| In watches of the middle night | D |
| 'Twixt vesper and 'twist matin bell | E |
| With rigid arms and straining sight | D |
| I wait within my narrow cell | E |
| With muttered prayers suspended will | F |
| I wait your advent statue still | F |
| - | |
| Across the convent garden walls | A |
| The wind blows from the silver seas | A |
| Black shadow of the cypress falls | A |
| Between the moon meshed olive trees | A |
| Sleep walking from their golden bowers | A |
| Flit disembodied orange flowers | A |
| - | |
| And in God's consecrated house | A |
| All motionless from head to feet | G |
| My heart awaits her heavenly Spouse | A |
| As white I lie on my white sheet | G |
| With body lulled and soul awake | H |
| I watch in anguish for your sake | H |
| - | |
| And suddenly across the gloom | I |
| The naked moonlight sharply swings | A |
| A Presence stirs within the room | I |
| A breath of flowers and hovering wings | A |
| Your presence without form and void | J |
| Beyond all earthly joys enjoyed | J |
| - | |
| My heart is hushed my tongue is mute | K |
| My life is centred in your will | F |
| You play upon me like a lute | K |
| Which answers to its master's skill | F |
| Till passionately vibrating | L |
| Each nerve becomes a throbbing string | L |
| - | |
| Oh incommunicably sweet | G |
| No longer aching and apart | M |
| As rain upon the tender wheat | G |
| You pour upon my thirsty heart | M |
| As scent is bound up in the rose | A |
| Your love within my bosom glows | A |
