Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGGHHIIEEAA JJKKAABBLLMMDDNNOOPQ RSIIDDJJTT| Thou art not dead O sweet lost melody | A |
| Sung beyond memory | A |
| When golden to the winds this world of ours | B |
| Waved wild with boundless flowers | B |
| Sung in some past when wildernesses were | C |
| Not dead not dead lost air | D |
| Yet in the ages long where lurkest thou | E |
| And what soul knows thee now | E |
| Wert thou not given to sweeten every wind | F |
| From that o'erburdened mind | F |
| That bore thee through the young world and that tongue | G |
| By which thou first wert sung | G |
| Was not the holy choir the endless dome | H |
| And nature all thy home | H |
| Did not the warm gale clasp thee to his breast | I |
| Lulling thy storms to rest | I |
| And is the June air laden with thee now | E |
| Passing the summer bough | E |
| And is the dawn wind on a lonely sea | A |
| Balmy with thoughts of thee | A |
| To rock on daybreak winds dost thou rejoice | J |
| As first on his strong voice | J |
| Whose radiant morning soul did give thee birth | K |
| Gave thee to heaven and earth | K |
| Or did each bird win one dear note of thee | A |
| To pipe eternally | A |
| Art thou the secret of the small field flowers | B |
| Nodding thy time for hours | B |
| Blown by the happy winds from hill to hill | L |
| And such a secret still | L |
| Or wert thou rapt awhile to other spheres | M |
| To gladden tenderer ears | M |
| Doth music's soul contain thee precious air | D |
| Sleepest thou clasped there | D |
| Until a time shall come for thee to start | N |
| Into some unborn heart | N |
| Then wilt thou as the clouds of ages roll | O |
| Thou migratory soul | O |
| Amid a different wilder wilderness | P |
| In crowds that throng and press | Q |
| Revive thy blessed cadences forgotten | R |
| In some soul new begotten | S |
| Oh wilt thou ever tire of thy long rest | I |
| On nature's silent breast | I |
| And wilt thou leave thy rainbow showers to bear | D |
| A part in human care | D |
| Forsake thy boundless silence to make choice | J |
| Of some pathetic voice | J |
| Forsake thy stars thy suns thy moons thy skies | T |
| For man's desiring sighs | T |
