Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDED FGHGIDED| When I am dead my dearest | A |
| Sing no sad songs for me | B |
| Plant thou no roses at my head | C |
| Nor shady cypress tree | B |
| Be the green grass above me | B |
| With showers and dewdrops wet | D |
| And if thou wilt remember | E |
| And if thou wilt forget | D |
| - | |
| I shall not see the shadows | F |
| I shall not feel the rain | G |
| I shall not hear the nightingale | H |
| Sing on as if in pain | G |
| And dreaming through the twilight | I |
| That doth not rise nor set | D |
| Haply I may remember | E |
| And haply may forget | D |
