Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKL MNEO| As Psyche Life goes down to the shades | A |
| In a translucent forest in Persephone's tracks | B |
| A blind swallow falls at her feet | C |
| With Stygian tenderness and a green branch | D |

| The shades flock to meet the fugitive | E |
| Welcome their new visitor with laments | F |

| Breathes on the mirror and hesitates to give | E |
| The copper coin from the misty crossing | O |
