For if you stay beloved what is gone | B |
Yet should you go all permanence is vain | A |
And all the piled abundance is as none | C |

With you beside me in the desert sand | D |

Oases green arise and camel bells | E |
For in the long adventure of your eyes | F |
Are all the wandering ways to Paradise | G |

Existence in your being comes and goes | H |
What were the garden love without the rose | H |
In vain were ears to hear | I |
And eyes in vain | A |
Lacking your ordered music sphere to sphere | J |
Blind should your beauty blossom not again | K |
- | |
The pulse that shakes the world with rhythmic beat | L |
Is but the passing of your little feet | L |
And all the singing vast of all the seas | M |
Down from the pole | N |
To the Hesperides | M |
Is but the praying echo of your soul | N |
- | |
Therefore beloved know that this is true | O |
The world exists and vanishes in you | O |
Tis not a lover's fancy ask the sky | P |
If all its stars depend not even as I | P |
Upon your eyelids when they open or close | M |
And let the garden answer with the rose | M |
