Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDA EFCFGE CCCCHC IAJFKI FICILF MNANOM PCQCRP CSCSTC CCUCCC| I love a still conservatory | A |
| That's full of giant breathless palms | B |
| Azaleas clematis and vines | C |
| Whose quietness great Trees becalms | C |
| Filling the air with foliage | D |
| A curved and dreamy statuary | A |
| - | |
| I like to hear a cold pure rill | E |
| Of water trickling low afar | F |
| With sudden little jerks and purls | C |
| Into a tank or stoneware jar | F |
| The song of a tiny sleeping bird | G |
| Held like a shadow in its trill | E |
| - | |
| I love the mossy quietness | C |
| That grows upon the great stone flags | C |
| The dark tree ferns the staghorn ferns | C |
| The prehistoric antlered stags | C |
| That carven stand and stare among | H |
| The silent ferny wilderness | C |
| - | |
| And are they birds or souls that flit | I |
| Among the trees so silently | A |
| And are they fish or ghosts that haunt | J |
| The still pools of the rockery | F |
| For I am but a sculptured rock | K |
| As in that magic place I sit | I |
| - | |
| Still as a great jewel is the air | F |
| With boughs and leaves smooth carved in it | I |
| And rocks and trees and giant ferns | C |
| And blooms with inner radiance lit | I |
| And naked water like a nymph | L |
| That dances tireless slim and bare | F |
| - | |
| I watch a white Nyanza float | M |
| Upon a green untroubled pool | N |
| A fairyland Ophelia she | A |
| Has cast herself in water cool | N |
| And lies while fairy cymbals ring | O |
| Drowned in her fairy castle moat | M |
| - | |
| The goldfish sing a winding song | P |
| Below her pale and waxen face | C |
| The water nymph is dancing by | Q |
| Lifting smooth arms with mournful grace | C |
| A stainless white dream she floats on | R |
| While fairies beat a fairy gong | P |
| - | |
| Silent the Cattleyas blaze | C |
| And thin red orchid shapes of Death | S |
| Peer savagely with twisted lips | C |
| Sucking an eerie phantom breath | S |
| With that bright spotted fever'd lust | T |
| That watches lonely travellers craze | C |
| - | |
| Gigantic mauve and hairy leaves | C |
| Hang like obliterated faces | C |
| Full of dim unattained expression | U |
| Such as haunts virgin forest places | C |
| When Silence leaps among the trees | C |
| And the echoing heart deceives | C |
