| | A sweet bewildering pain,
Like flowers in the wind and rain. | 1 |
| As fair as summer roses. | 2 |
| Fluctuated like a stormy sea, urged by the secret Furies. | 3 |
| Follow’d her desire, as sunlight tracks the shadow of a cloud. | 4 |
| Glided like a flame of wind-blown fire. | 5 |
| Green as a leaf. | 6 |
| Happy as the sunlight. | 7 |
| Lips, as smooth and tender … as rose-leaves in a coppice wild. | 8 |
| Noiseless as the sunlight. | 9 |
| Turn’d, as a vessel holds to sea, when near a Siren strand. | 10 |
| Weak as unfledged nestling in the falcon’s grip. | 11 |
| Like a cowslip, growing wild. | 12 | | |
