Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CBCCCCB DBDDDDB EBEEFB EBEEEB| The ring is on my hand | A |
| And the wreath is on my brow | B |
| Satins and jewels grand | A |
| Are all at my command | A |
| And I am happy now | B |
| - | |
| And my lord he loves me well | C |
| But when first he breathed his vow | B |
| I felt my bosom swell | C |
| For the words rang as a knell | C |
| And the voice seemed his who fell | C |
| In the battle down the dell | C |
| And who is happy now | B |
| - | |
| But he spoke to reassure me | D |
| And he kissed my pallid brow | B |
| While a reverie came o'er me | D |
| And to the churchyard bore me | D |
| And I sighed to him before me | D |
| Thinking him dead D'Elormie | D |
| Oh I am happy now | B |
| - | |
| And thus the words were spoken | E |
| And thus the plighted vow | B |
| And though my faith be broken | E |
| And though my heart be broken | E |
| Behold the golden keys | F |
| That proves me happy now | B |
| - | |
| Would to God I could awaken | E |
| For I dream I know not how | B |
| And my soul is sorely shaken | E |
| Lest an evil step be taken | E |
| Lest the dead who is forsaken | E |
| May not be happy now | B |
