Rhyme Scheme: ABCCAB DEFFDE GHIIGH AJKKAJ| A thousand songs I might have made | A |
| Of You and only You | B |
| A thousand thousand tongues of fire | C |
| That trembled down a golden wire | C |
| To lamp the night with stars to braid | A |
| The morning bough with dew | B |
| - | |
| Within the greenwood girl and boy | D |
| Had loiter'd to their lure | E |
| And men in cities closed their books | F |
| To dream of Spring and running brooks | F |
| And all that ever was of joy | D |
| For manhood to abjure | E |
| - | |
| And I'd have made them strong so strong | G |
| Outlasting towers and towns | H |
| Millennial shepherds 'neath the thorn | I |
| Had piped them to a world reborn | I |
| And danced Delight the dale along | G |
| And up the daisied downs | H |
| - | |
| A thousand songs I might have made | A |
| But you required them not | J |
| Content to reign your little while | K |
| Ere abdicating with a smile | K |
| You pass'd into a shade a shade | A |
| Immortal and forgot | J |
