Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDECF GHIJBK BALMJCNBO| Now that I have cooled to you | A |
| Let there be gold of tarnished masonry | B |
| Temples soothed by the sun to ruin | C |
| That sleep utterly | B |
| Give me hand for the dances | D |
| Ripples at Philae in and out | E |
| And lips my Lesbian | C |
| Wall flowers that once were flame | F |
| - | |
| Your hair is my Carthage | G |
| And my arms the bow | H |
| And our words arrows | I |
| To shoot the stars | J |
| Who from that misty sea | B |
| Swarm to destroy us | K |
| - | |
| But you there beside me | B |
| Oh how shall I defy you | A |
| Who wound me in the night | L |
| With breasts shining | M |
| Like Venus and like Mars | J |
| The night that is shouting Jason | C |
| When the loud eaves rattle | N |
| As with waves above me | B |
| Blue at the prow of my desire | O |
