Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCDDEDCE FGFDGHIIJIKJ LMLMMNOOPOQP| NOT by her grave thither I bid them take | A |
| Fresh garlands of the flowers that pleased her best | B |
| And lay them by the headstone for my sake | A |
| My token and remembrance with the rest | B |
| But here where in the brightening of the west | B |
| I see her mountains grow into the sky | C |
| Her native world and mine because of her | D |
| Here where that low sigh of the pinewood's stir | D |
| That was her dearest music fills all sound | E |
| I am with her | D |
| And always always past comes passing by | C |
| Lost in her grave but here as if half found | E |
| - | |
| Not by her grave it is too still too cold | F |
| And save my loss is nothing with me there | G |
| What memories have I there of her of old | F |
| They came not there the dear lost days that were | D |
| Not she lies there but only my despair | G |
| Not she but death and all my loneliness | H |
| What memories save all memories love must shun | I |
| I would not think of death and her as one | I |
| She shall be only life ful in my mind | J |
| With life's self one | I |
| A name of glad remindings and old bliss | K |
| So something of her presence left behind | J |
| - | |
| Not by her grave some day will I return | L |
| When sorrow keeps its wont unvexed by place | M |
| And sitting on the turf beside will learn | L |
| To call before me there her waking face | M |
| Not that white face that slept and took no trace | M |
| Of change because I kissed it nor for tears | N |
| Some day for now I should forget her so | O |
| Lose the fair happy woman and but know | O |
| The coldness and the silence when she died | P |
| Lose her all so | O |
| My love that was my life of all for years | Q |
| She loved this music when the pinewoods sighed | P |
