Rhyme Scheme: ABA BCB DED EFE FGFG H| These people have not heard your name | A |
| No loungers in this placid place | B |
| Have helped to bruit your beauty's fame | A |
| - | |
| The grey Cathedral towards whose face | B |
| Bend eyes untold has met not yours | C |
| Your shade has never swept its base | B |
| - | |
| Your form has never darked its doors | D |
| Nor have your faultless feet once thrown | E |
| A pensive pit pat on its floors | D |
| - | |
| Along the street to maids well known | E |
| Blithe lovers hum their tender airs | F |
| But in your praise voice not a tone | E |
| - | |
| Since nought bespeaks you here or bears | F |
| As I your imprint through and through | G |
| Here might I rest till my heart shares | F |
| The spot's unconsciousness of you | G |
