Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBBCCBDEFDEF AGDDGGHDGIJJIKK| I | A |
| You love me only me Do I not know | B |
| If I were gone your life would be no more | C |
| Than his who hungering on a rocky shore | C |
| Shipwrecked alone observes the ebb and flow | B |
| Of hopeless ocean widening forth below | B |
| And is remembering all that was before | C |
| Dear I believe it at your strong heart's core | C |
| I am the life no need to tell me so | B |
| And yet Ah husband though I be more fair | D |
| More worth your love and though you loved her not | E |
| Else must you have some different deeper name | F |
| For loving me dimly I seem aware | D |
| As though you conned old stories long forgot | E |
| Those days are with you hers before I came | F |

| II | A |
| The mountain traveller joyous on his way | G |
| Looks on the vale he left and calls it fair | D |
| Then counts with pride how far he is from there | D |
| And still ascends And when my fancies stray | G |
| Pleased with light memories of a bygone day | G |
| I would not have again the things that were | H |
| I take their thought like fragrance in the air | D |
| Of flowers I gathered in my childish play | G |
| And thou my very soul can it touch thee | I |
| If I remember her or I forget | J |
| Does the sun ask if the white stars be set | J |
| Yes I recall shall many times maybe | I |
| Recall the dear old boyish days again | K |
| The dear old boyish passion Love what then | K |
