Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDCEC FGHIFJKILM| The flowers sent here by mistake | A |
| signed with a name that no one knew | B |
| are turning bad What shall we do | B |
| Our neighbor says they're not for her | C |
| and no one has a birthday near | D |

| The iris was the first to die | F |
| enshrouded in its sickly sweet | G |

| fell one petal at a time | I |
| and now the ferns are turning dry | F |
| The room smells like a funeral | J |
| but there they sit too much at home | K |
| accusing us of some small crime | I |
| like love forgotten and we can't | L |
| throw out a gift we've never owned | M |
