Rhyme Scheme: AABBA CCDDC EEFFE GGHHG IIJJIFarewell to one now silenced quite | A |
Sent out of hearing out of sight | A |
My friend of friends whom I shall miss | B |
He is not banished though for this | B |
Nor he nor sadness nor delight | A |

Though I shall talk with him no more | C |
A low voice sounds upon the shore | C |
He must not watch my resting place | D |
But who shall drive a mournful face | D |
From the sad winds about my door | C |

His tears must not disturb my heart | F |
But who shall change the years and part | F |
The world from any thought of pain | E |

Although my life is left so dim | G |
The morning crowns the mountain rim | G |
Joy is not gone from summer skies | H |
Nor innocence from children's eyes | H |
And all of these things are part of him | G |

He is not banished for the showers | I |
Yet wake this green warm earth of ours | I |
How can the summer but be sweet | J |
I shall not have him at my feet | J |
And yet my feet are on the flowers | I |
