Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCAC DDAEAEFF GHGAFAHFII| I have a rendezvous with Death | A |
| At some disputed barricade | B |
| I have a rendezvous with Death | A |
| At some disputed barricade | B |
| When Spring comes back with rustling shade | B |
| And apple blossoms fill the air | C |
| I have a rendezvous with Death | A |
| When Spring brings back blue days and fair | C |
| - | |
| It may be he shall take my hand | D |
| And lead me into his dark land | D |
| And close my eyes and quench my breath | A |
| It may be I shall pass him still | E |
| I have a rendezvous with Death | A |
| On some scarred slope of battered hill | E |
| When Spring comes round again this year | F |
| And the first meadow flowers appear | F |
| - | |
| God knows 'twere better to be deep | G |
| Pillowed in silk and scented down | H |
| Where love throbs out in blissful sleep | G |
| Pulse nigh to pulse and breath to breath | A |
| Where hushed awakenings are dear | F |
| But I've a rendezvous with Death | A |
| At midnight in some flaming town | H |
| When Spring trips north again this year | F |
| And I to my pledged word am true | I |
| I shall not fail that rendezvous | I |
