Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBFGGFGBB| SO soon asleep Now must the coming years | A |
| Weep ignorantly their loss they cannot know | B |
| And life miss ever what has never been | C |
| We weep to day let theirs be sadder tears | D |
| Who have not seen thee near as we have seen | E |
| Who shall but learn a hope died long ago | B |
| Alas for flowers untimely winds have broken | F |
| That should have scattered seed of following flowers | G |
| Alas for ruin of unbuilded towers | G |
| Alas for ripening words that die unspoken | F |
| But let them weep with sadder tears than ours | G |
| Who shall but learn a hope died long ago | B |
| A world's hope long ago | B |
