Rhyme Scheme: ABBBABAAA CDECECEEE| Life is not sweet One day it will be sweet | A |
| To shut our eyes and die | B |
| Nor feel the wild flowers blow nor birds dart by | B |
| With flitting butterfly | B |
| Nor grass grow long above our heads and feet | A |
| Nor hear the happy lark that soars sky high | B |
| Nor sigh that spring is fleet and summer fleet | A |
| Nor mark the waxing wheat | A |
| Nor know who sits in our accustomed seat | A |

| Life is not good One day it will be good | C |
| To die then live again | D |
| To sleep meanwhile so not to feel the wane | E |
| Of shrunk leaves dropping in the wood | C |
| Nor hear the foamy lashing of the main | E |
| Nor mark the blackened bean fields nor where stood | C |
| Rich ranks of golden grain | E |
| Only dead refuse stubble clothe the plain | E |
| Asleep from risk asleep from pain | E |
