Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGF HIJ K L MNONPNKN QRSTUNVN| When I was dead my spirit turned | A |
| To seek the much frequented house | B |
| I passed the door and saw my friends | C |
| Feasting beneath green orange boughs | D |
| From hand to hand they pushed the wine | E |
| They sucked the pulp of plum and peach | F |
| They sang they jested and they laughed | G |
| For each was loved of each | F |
| - | |
| I listened to their honest chat | H |
| Said one 'To morrow we shall be | I |
| Plod plod along the featureless sands | J |
| And coasting miles and miles of sea ' | - |
| Said one 'Before the turn of tide | K |
| We will achieve the eyrie seat ' | - |
| Said one 'To morrow shall be like | L |
| To day but much more sweet ' | - |
| - | |
| 'To morrow ' said they strong with hope | M |
| And dwelt upon the pleasant way | N |
| 'To morrow ' cried they one and all | O |
| While no one spoke of yesterday | N |
| Their life stood full at blessed noon | P |
| I only I had passed away | N |
| 'To morrow and to day ' they cried | K |
| I was of yesterday | N |

| I shivered comfortless but cast | Q |
| No chill across the tablecloth | R |
| I all forgotten shivered sad | S |
| To stay and yet to part how loth | T |
| I passed from the familiar room | U |
| I who from love had passed away | N |
| Like the remembrance of a guest | V |
| That tarrieth but a day | N |
