Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE FFGGHIJJ| If I were mild and I were sweet | A |
| And laid my heart before your feet | A |
| And took my dearest thoughts to you | B |
| And hailed your easy lies as true | B |
| Were I to murmur Yes and then | C |
| How true my dear and Yes again | C |
| And wear my eyes discreetly down | D |
| And tremble whitely at your frown | D |
| And keep my words unquestioning | E |
| My love you'd run like anything | E |

| Should I be frail and I be mad | F |
| And share my heart with every lad | F |
| But beat my head against the floor | G |
| What times you wandered past my door | G |
| Were I to doubt and I to sneer | H |
| And shriek Farewell and still be here | I |
| And break your joy and quench your trust | J |
| I should not see you for the dust | J |
