Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEED FGGF HIJH KLLK MBBM| The oleander on the wall | A |
| Grows crimson in the dawning light | B |
| Though the grey shadows of the night | B |
| Lie yet on Florence like a pall | C |
| - | |
| The dew is bright upon the hill | D |
| And bright the blossoms overhead | E |
| But ah the grasshoppers have fled | E |
| The little Attic song is still | D |
| - | |
| Only the leaves are gently stirred | F |
| By the soft breathing of the gale | G |
| And in the almond scented vale | G |
| The lonely nightingale is heard | F |
| - | |
| The day will make thee silent soon | H |
| O nightingale sing on for love | I |
| While yet upon the shadowy grove | J |
| Splinter the arrows of the moon | H |
| - | |
| Before across the silent lawn | K |
| In sea green vest the morning steals | L |
| And to love's frightened eyes reveals | L |
| The long white fingers of the dawn | K |
| - | |
| Fast climbing up the eastern sky | M |
| To grasp and slay the shuddering night | B |
| All careless of my heart's delight | B |
| Or if the nightingale should die | M |
