Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED DF GHGIIJJ BKBLMLL| Was it the double of my dream | A |
| The woman that by me lay | B |

| Upon Ben Bulben side | D |

| My memories had magnified | D |
| So many times childish delight | F |

| Nothing that we love over much | J |
| Is ponderable to our touch | J |

| I dreamed towards break of day | B |
| The cold blown spray in my nostril | K |

| Had watched in bitterer sleep | L |
| The marvellous stag of Arthur | M |
| That lofty white stag leap | L |
| From mountain steep to steep | L |
