Rhyme Scheme: ABCD BEFG HIJKLHAMNOFPQ ROR STUVRW DOXYZA2B2DC2D2E2Y| OLD friend that with a pale and pensile grace | A |
| Climbest the lush hedgerows art thou back again | B |
| Marking the slow round of the wond'rous years | C |
| Didst beckon me a moment silent flower | D |
| - | |
| Silent As silent is the archangel's pen | B |
| That day by day writes our life chronicle | E |
| And turns the page the half forgotten page | F |
| Which all eternity will never blot | G |
| - | |
| Forgotten No we never do forget | H |
| We let the years go eash then clean with tears | I |
| Leave them to bleach out in the open day | J |
| Or lock them careful by like dead friends' clothes | K |
| Till we shall dare unfold them without pain | L |
| But we forget not never can forget | H |
| Flower thou and I a moment face to face | A |
| My face as clear as thine this July noon | M |
| Shining on both on bee and butterfly | N |
| And golden geetle creeping in the sun | O |
| Will pause and lifting up page after page | F |
| The many colored history of life | P |
| Look backwards backwards | Q |
| - | |
| So the volume close | R |
| This July day with the sun high in heaven | O |
| And the whole earth rejoicing let it close | R |
| - | |
| I think we need not sigh complain nor rave | S |
| Nor blush our doings and misdoing all | T |
| Being more 'gainst heaven than man heaven them does keep | U |
| With all its doings and undoings strange | V |
| Concerning us Ah let the volume close | R |
| I would not alter in it one poor line | W |
| - | |
| My dainty flower my innocent white flower | D |
| With such a pure smile looking up to heaven | O |
| With such a bright smile looking down on me | X |
| Nothing but smiles as if in all the world | Y |
| Were no such things as thunder storms or frosts | Z |
| Or broken petals trampled on the ground | A2 |
| Or shivering leaveswhirled in the wintry air | B2 |
| Like ghosts of last years joys my pretty flower | D |
| I'll pluck thee smiling too Not one salt drop | C2 |
| Shall stain thee if these foolish eyes are dim | D2 |
| That they behold such beauty and such peace | E2 |
| Such wisdom and such sweetness in God's world | Y |
