Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCB DDEEFFE| Looking on a page where stood | A |
| Graven of old on old world wood | A |
| Death and by the grave's edge grim | B |
| Pale the young man facing him | B |
| Asked my well beloved of me | C |
| Once what strange thing this might be | C |
| Gaunt and great of limb | B |
| - | |
| Death I told him and surprise | D |
| Deepening more his wildwood eyes | D |
| Like some sweet fleet thing's whose breath | E |
| Speaks all spring though nought it saith | E |
| Up he turned his rosebright face | F |
| Glorious with its seven years' grace | F |
| Asking What is death | E |
