| Hast thou not seen officious with delight | B |
| Move through the illumined air about the flower | C |
| The Bee that fears to drink its purple light | B |
| Lest danger lurk within that Rose's bower | C |
| Hast thou not marked the moth's enamoured flight | B |
| About the Taper's flame at evening hour | C |
| 'Till kindle in that monumental fire | C |
| His sunflower wings their own funereal pyre | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| My heart its wishes trembling to unfold | D |
| Thus round the Rose and Taper hovering came | E |
| 'And Passion's slave Distrust in ashes cold | D |
| Smothered awhile but could not quench the flame ' | - |
| Till Love that grows by disappointment bold | D |
| And Opportunity had conquered Shame | E |
| And like the Bee and Moth in act to close | F |
| 'I burned my wings and settled on the Rose ' | - |
