Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE AGAGHIHI AEAEJKJK| MY heart is like a withered nut | A |
| Rattling within its hollow shell | B |
| You cannot ope my breast and put | C |
| Any thing fresh with it to dwell | B |
| The hopes and dreams that filled it when | D |
| Life's spring of glory met my view | E |
| Are gone and ne'er with joy or pain | F |
| That shrunken heart shall swell anew | E |
| - | |
| My heart is like a withered nut | A |
| Once it was soft to every touch | G |
| But now 'tis stern and closely shut | A |
| I would not have to plead with such | G |
| Each light toned voice once cleared my brow | H |
| Each gentle breeze once shook the tree | I |
| Where hung the sun lit fruit which now | H |
| Lies cold and stiff and sad like me | I |
| - | |
| My heart is like a withered nut | A |
| It once was comely to the view | E |
| But since misfortune's blast hath cut | A |
| It hath a dark and mournful hue | E |
| The freshness of its verdant youth | J |
| Nought to that fruit can now restore | K |
| And my poor heart I feel in truth | J |
| Nor sun nor smile shall light it more | K |
