Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGHG IEIE JKJK LMLM KNK OPOG QOQO RBRB EBEB IOIO OSOS| WE take from life one little share | A |
| And say that this shall be | B |
| A space redeemed from toil and care | A |
| From tears and sadness free | B |
| - | |
| And haply Death unstrings his bow | C |
| And Sorrow stands apart | D |
| And for a little while we know | E |
| The sunshine of the heart | D |
| - | |
| Existence seems a summer eve | F |
| Warm soft and full of peace | G |
| Our free unfettered feelings give | H |
| The soul its full release | G |
| - | |
| A moment then it takes the power | I |
| To call up thoughts that throw | E |
| Around that charmed and hallowed hour | I |
| This life's divinest glow | E |
| - | |
| But Time though viewlessly it flies | J |
| And slowly will not stay | K |
| Alike through clear and clouded skies | J |
| It cleaves its silent way | K |
| - | |
| Alike the bitter cup of grief | L |
| Alike the draught of bliss | M |
| Its progress leaves but moment brief | L |
| For baffled lips to kiss | M |
| - | |
| The sparkling draught is dried away | K |
| The hour of rest is gone | N |
| And urgent voices round us say | K |
| ' Ho lingerer hasten on ' | - |
| - | |
| And has the soul then only gained | O |
| From this brief time of ease | P |
| A moment's rest when overstrained | O |
| One hurried glimpse of peace | G |
| - | |
| No while the sun shone kindly o'er us | Q |
| And flowers bloomed round our feet | O |
| While many a bud of joy before us | Q |
| Unclosed its petals sweet | O |
| - | |
| An unseen work within was plying | R |
| Like honey seeking bee | B |
| From flower to flower unwearied flying | R |
| Laboured one faculty | B |
| - | |
| Thoughtful for Winter's future sorrow | E |
| Its gloom and scarcity | B |
| Prescient to day of want to morrow | E |
| Toiled quiet Memory | B |
| - | |
| 'Tis she that from each transient pleasure | I |
| Extracts a lasting good | O |
| 'Tis she that finds in summer treasure | I |
| To serve for winter's food | O |
| - | |
| And when Youth's summer day is vanished | O |
| And Age brings Winter's stress | S |
| Her stores with hoarded sweets replenished | O |
| Life's evening hours will bless | S |
