Rhyme Scheme: ABACACB DBEFEFB GHGGGGB| I found that ivory image there | A |
| Dancing with her chosen youth | B |
| But when he wound her coal black hair | A |
| As though to strangle her no scream | C |
| Or bodily movement did I dare | A |
| Eyes under eyelids did so gleam | C |
| Love is like the lion's tooth | B |
| - | |
| When She and though some said she played | D |
| I said that she had danced heart's truth | B |
| Drew a knife to strike him dead | E |
| I could but leave him to his fate | F |
| For no matter what is said | E |
| They had all that had their hate | F |
| Love is like the lion's tooth | B |
| - | |
| Did he die or did she die | G |
| Seemed to die or died they both | H |
| God be with the times when I | G |
| Cared not a thraneen for what chanced | G |
| So that I had the limbs to try | G |
| Such a dance as there was danced | G |
| Love is like the lion's tooth | B |
