Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE CGEG HIJI CKLK

Alexis calls me cruelA
The rifted crags that holdB
The gathered ice of winterC
He says are not more coldB
-
When even the very blossomsD
Around the fountain's brimE
And forest walks can witnessF
The love I bear to himE
-
I would that I could utterC
My feelings without shameG
And tell him how I love himE
Nor wrong my virgin fameG
-
Alas to seize the momentH
When heart inclines to heartI
And press a suit with passionJ
Is not a woman's partI
-
If man comes not to gatherC
The roses where they standK
They fade among their foliageL
They cannot seek his handK
