Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFEEFGDGHDIFIIF ADCCD| LEAVES and rain and the days of the year | A |
| Water willow and wellaway | B |
| All these fall and my soul gives ear | C |
| And she is hence who once was here | C |
| With a wind blown night and day | D |
| Ah but now for a secret sign | E |
| The willow's wan and the water white | F |
| In the held breath of the day's decline | E |
| Her very face seemed pressed to mine | E |
| With a wind blown day and night | F |
| O love of my death my life is fain | G |
| The willows wave on the water way | D |
| Your cheek and mine are cold in the rain | G |
| But warm they'll be when we meet again | H |
| With a wind blown night and day | D |
| Mists are heaved and cover the sky | I |
| The willows wail in the waning light | F |
| O loose your lips leave space for a sigh | I |
| They seal my soul I cannot die | I |
| With a wind blown day and night | F |
| Leaves and rain and the days of the year | A |
| Water willow and wellaway | D |
| All still fall and I still give ear | C |
| And she is hence and I am here | C |
| With a wind blown night and day | D |
