Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGFGHIH JKJLMNM OIPIQRQ| A YOUNG fair girl among her flowers | A |
| And as to blossoms born in May | B |
| Her morrows still brought sunnier hours | A |
| Than made up sunny yesterday | B |
| She did but wait 'Hope is so sweet | C |
| We love so well my love and I | D |
| The hours that come the hours that fleet | C |
| End all in one glad by and by ' | E |
| - | |
| A pale worn woman scarcely sad | F |
| But tired like those who too long pent | G |
| Forget the joy they have not had | F |
| Of the free winds and droop content | G |
| She did but wait 'Ah no to me | H |
| The silent hope is never dead | I |
| What are the days that are to be | H |
| But part of the dear days long fled ' | - |
| - | |
| He came 'The wealth we need is mine | J |
| And now ' 'Alas ' she said 'in vain | K |
| The love I love is noway thine | J |
| I wait who never comes again | L |
| Oh for my lover of old days | M |
| We two from all the world apart | N |
| I must go lone on earth's bleak ways | M |
| He is not now save in my heart ' | - |
| - | |
| He wed another She alone | O |
| Patient and weary toiled for bread | I |
| And bygone still was never gone | P |
| The silent hope was never dead | I |
| She did but wait 'I have the past | Q |
| The new days live the old days o'er | R |
| And there abides until the last | Q |
| The by and by that was before ' | - |
