Rhyme Scheme: ABC ADE AFG HIJ HKL HMN OPQ ORS OTU| Cold on my narrow cot I lie | A |
| and in sorrow look | B |
| through my window square of black | C |
| - | |
| figured in the midnight sky | A |
| a mosaic of stars | D |
| diagrams the falling years | E |
| - | |
| while from the moon my lover's eye | A |
| chills me to death | F |
| with radiance of his frozen faith | G |
| - | |
| Once I wounded him with so | H |
| small a thorn | I |
| I never thought his flesh would burn | J |
| - | |
| or that the heat within would grow | H |
| until he stood | K |
| incandescent as a god | L |
| - | |
| now there is nowhere I can go | H |
| to hide from him | M |
| moon and sun reflect his flame | N |
| - | |
| In the morning all shall be | O |
| the same again | P |
| stars pale before the angry dawn | Q |
| - | |
| the gilded cock will turn for me | O |
| the rack of time | R |
| until the peak of noon has come | S |
| - | |
| and by that glare my love will see | O |
| how I am still | T |
| blazing in my golden hell | U |
