Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIH JKLK MNON MPMP| All through an empty place I go | A |
| And find her not in any room | B |
| The candles and the lamps I light | C |
| Go down before a wind of gloom | B |
| Thick spraddled lies the dust about | D |
| A fit sad place to write her name | E |
| Or draw her face the way she looked | F |
| That legendary night she came | E |

| The old house crumbles bit by bit | G |
| Each day I hear the ominous thud | H |
| That says another rent is there | I |
| For winds to pierce and storms to flood | H |
| - | |
| My orchards groan and sag with fruit | J |
| Where Indian wise the bees go round | K |
| I let it rot upon the bough | L |
| I eat what falls upon the ground | K |
| - | |
| The heavy cows go laboring | M |
| In agony with clotted teats | N |
| My hands are slack my blood is cold | O |
| I marvel that my heart still beats | N |
| - | |
| I have no will to weep or sing | M |
| No least desire to pray or curse | P |
| The loss of love is a terrible thing | M |
| They lie who say that death is worse | P |
