Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEF GHIIJJKKF LLMNOPQQF| THEY loved one another young Edward and his wife | A |
| And in their cottage home they dwelt apart from sin and strife | A |
| Each evening Edward weary came from a day of honest toil | B |
| And Mary made the fire blaze and smiled a cheerful smile | C |
| Oh what was wealth or pomp to them the gaudy glittering show | D |
| Of jewels blazing on the breast where heaves a heart of woe | D |
| The merry laugh the placid sleep were theirs they hated sloth | E |
| And all the little that they had belonged alike to both | E |
| For they loved one another | F |
| - | |
| They loved one another but one of them is gone | G |
| And by that vainly cheerful hearth poor Edward sits alone | H |
| He gazes round on all which used to make his heart rejoice | I |
| And he misses Mary's gentle smile he misses Mary's voice | I |
| There are many in this chilly world who would not care to part | J |
| Tho' they dwell together in one home and ought to have one heart | J |
| And yet they live while never more those happy ones may meet | K |
| And the echo from her home is gone of Mary's busy feet | K |
| And they loved one another | F |
| - | |
| They loved one another but she hath past away | L |
| And taken with her all the light the sunshine of his day | L |
| And Edward makes no loud lament nor idly sits and mourns | M |
| But quietly goes forth at morn and quietly returns | N |
| The cottage now is still and dark no welcome bids him home | O |
| He passes it and wanders on to sit by Mary's tomb | P |
| Oh weep my friends for very sad and bitter it must be | Q |
| To yearn for some familiar face we never more may see | Q |
| When we loved one another | F |
