Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCADDDC EBCBCEDDDC| Piteous my rhyme is | A |
| What while I muse of love and pain | B |
| Of love misspent of love in vain | B |
| Of love that is not loved again | C |
| And is this all then | C |
| As long as time is | A |
| Love loveth Time is but a span | D |
| The dalliance space of dying man | D |
| And is this all immortals can | D |
| The gain were small then | C |

| Love loves for ever | E |
| And finds a sort of joy in pain | B |
| And gives with nought to take again | C |
| And loves too well to end in vain | B |
| Is the gain small then | C |
| Love laughs at never | E |
| Outlives our life exceeds the span | D |
| Appointed to mere mortal man | D |
| All which love is and does and can | D |
| Is all in all then | C |
