Rhyme Scheme: ABBBA ACDCE BFGFB HIIIH JKKKJ LMMML BJJJB NOOON PBBBP EEEQ| COME here rekindle the old fire | A |
| This last night leave no lamp unlit | B |
| In later days we twain shall sit | B |
| Remembering the joys of it | B |
| The warmth and sweetness of desire | A |
| - | |
| Here ere we part again live o'er | A |
| The way we went the hour the kiss | C |
| Let Love with magic hand of his | D |
| Rebuild the mirage of our bliss | C |
| In desert days that wend before | E |
| - | |
| Swart night of August when we stood | B |
| Heart locked beside the window pane | F |
| The thunder quickening again | G |
| The laggard pulses of the rain | F |
| Wrung a few drops as hot as blood | B |
| - | |
| Outside we heard the passionate tune | H |
| That wooing wind and water keep | I |
| The weft that silence keeps with sleep | I |
| While through the foam blown silent deep | I |
| Sailed the wan shallop of the moon | H |
| - | |
| Outside the dark night and the sea | J |
| The sleepy and seductive speech | K |
| Of water to the shrinking beach | K |
| The wind that odoured plum and peach | K |
| The white rose that regaled a bee | J |
| - | |
| Joy through our hand like water runs | L |
| Ah dearest could we keep those hours | M |
| As some divine unfading flowers | M |
| Renewed by the eternal showers | M |
| And lit by everlasting suns | L |
| - | |
| But flowers and hours alike must fade | B |
| In the old book of Memory | J |
| Seal up these hours for you and me | J |
| As on some page of poetry | J |
| At glowing words a rose is laid | B |
| - | |
| Let the grape purple in the South | N |
| And let the wild red daisies blow | O |
| I shall not see I shall not know | O |
| For me alone the darnels grow | O |
| Only the hemlocks bruise my mouth | N |
| - | |
| To night the world is stunned with gloom | P |
| The trees shake in a sudden fright | B |
| Wincing against the hailstones' spite | B |
| And the crape curtains of the night | B |
| Hang heavy on the unfinished loom | P |
| - | |
| Fit hour for parting Say 'farewell ' | - |
| Clasp me no closer ask no more | E |
| What word can ease what kiss restore | E |
| The thunder's hearse is on the shore | E |
| And the sea tolls a passing bell | Q |
