Rhyme Scheme: ABCD ECFG HEIJ KLMN OCCN| In high noon's heat in a Caucasian valley | A |
| I lay quite still a bullet in my breast | B |
| The smoke still rose from my deep wound | C |
| As drop by drop my blood flowed out | D |
| - | |
| I lay alone upon the valley's sand | E |
| The mountain ledges closed in all around | C |
| Sun burned their yellow peaks | F |
| It burned me too but deep as death I slept | G |
| - | |
| I dreamt I saw the shining lights | H |
| Of evening feasting in my homeland | E |
| Young maids with flowers in their hair | I |
| Spoke gaily of me 'mongst themselves | J |
| - | |
| But one maid sat apart in thought | K |
| And did not enter gaily in | L |
| Her youthful soul was caught it seemed | M |
| Lord God knows how in some sad dream | N |
| - | |
| She dreamt about a valley in the Caucasus | O |
| She knew the corpse that lay upon the ground | C |
| His breast was blackened by a smoking wound | C |
| His cooling blood was flowing in a stream | N |
