Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBD ABABECB AEAEBEEE F BEBE| We built a castle in the air | A |
| In summer weather you and I | B |
| The wind and sun were in your hair | A |
| Gold hair against a sapphire sky | B |
| When Autumn came with leaves that fly | B |
| Before the storm across the plain | C |
| You fled from me with scarce a sigh | B |
| My Love returns no more again | D |
| - | |
| The windy lights of Autumn flare | A |
| I watch the moonlit sails go by | B |
| I marvel how men toil and fare | A |
| The weary business that they ply | B |
| Their voyaging is vanity | E |
| And fairy gold is all their gain | C |
| And all the winds of winter cry | B |
| 'My Love returns no more again ' | - |
| - | |
| Here in my castle of Despair | A |
| I sit alone with memory | E |
| The wind fed wolf has left his lair | A |
| To keep the outcast company | E |
| The brooding owl he hoots hard by | B |
| The hare shall kindle on thy hearth stane | E |
| The Rhymer's soothest prophecy | E |
| My Love returns no more again | E |
| - | |
| ENVOY | F |
| - | |
| Lady my home until I die | B |
| Is here where youth and hope were slain | E |
| They flit the ghosts of our July | B |
| My Love returns no more again | E |
