Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EAEA| EYES ravished with rapture celestially panting what passionate bosoms aflaming with fire | A |
| Drink deep of the hush of the hyacinth heavens that glimmer around them in fountains of light | B |
| O wild and entrancing the strain of keen music that cleaveth the stars like a wail of desire | A |
| And beautiful dancers with houri like faces bewitch the voluptuous watches of night | B |

| The scents of red roses and sandalwood flutter and die in the maze of their gem tangled hair | C |
| And smiles are entwining like magical serpents the poppies of lips that are opiate sweet | D |
| Their glittering garments of purple are burning like tremulous dawns in the quivering air | C |
| And exquisite subtle and slow are the tinkle and tread of their rhythmical slumber soft feet | D |

| Now silent now singing and swaying and swinging like blossoms that bend to the breezes or showers | E |
| Now wantonly winding they flash now they falter and lingering languish in radiant choir | A |
| Their jewel girt arms and warm wavering lily long fingers enchant through melodious hours | E |
| Eyes ravished with rapture celestially panting what passionate bosoms aflaming with fire | A |
