Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGFGHIJI KBKBLMLM NONOPHPH QRSRTUTU| WHEN we as strangers sought | A |
| Their catering care | B |
| Veiled smiles bespoke their thought | A |
| Of what we were | C |
| They warmed as they opined | D |

| With living love | G |
| Which quicks the world maybe | F |
| The spheres above | G |

| As Love's own pair | B |
| Yet never the love light shone | K |
| Between us there | B |
| But that which chilled the breath | L |
| Of afternoon | M |
| And palsied unto death | L |
| The pane fly's tune | M |
| - | |
| The kiss their zeal foretold | N |
| And now deemed come | O |
| Came not within his hold | N |
| Love lingered numb | O |
| Why cast he on our port | P |
| A bloom not ours | H |
| Why shaped us for his sport | P |
| In after hours | H |

| As we seemed we were not | Q |
| That day afar | R |
| And now we seem not what | S |
| We aching are | R |
| O severing sea and land | T |
| O laws of men | U |
| Ere death once let us stand | T |
| As we stood then | U |
