Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGGHH| THIS girl was sweeter than the song of swans | A |
| And daintier than the lamb upon the lawns | B |
| Or Curine oyster She the flower of girls | C |
| Outshone the light of Erythraean pearls | C |
| The teeth of India that with polish glow | D |
| The untouched lilies or the morning snow | D |
| Her tresses did gold dust outshine | E |
| And fair hair of women of the Rhine | E |
| Compared to her the peacock seemed not fair | F |
| The squirrel lively or the phoenix rare | F |
| Her on whose pyre the smoke still hovering waits | G |
| Her whom the greedy and unequal fates | G |
| On the sixth dawning of her natal day | H |
| My child love and my playmate snatcht away | H |
