Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIBJKLMINBNOP QRPS| She took my strength by minutes | A |
| She took my life by hours | B |
| She drained me like a fevered moon | C |
| That saps the spinning world | D |
| The days went by like shadows | E |
| The minutes wheeled like stars | F |
| She took the pity from my heart | G |
| And made it into smiles | H |
| She was a hunk of sculptor's clay | I |
| My secret thoughts were fingers | B |
| They flew behind her pensive brow | J |
| And lined it deep with pain | K |
| They set the lips and sagged the cheeks | L |
| And drooped the eye with sorrow | M |
| My soul had entered in the clay | I |
| Fighting like seven devils | N |
| It was not mine it was not hers | B |
| She held it but its struggles | N |
| Modeled a face she hated | O |
| And a face I feared to see | P |
| I beat the windows shook the bolts | Q |
| I hid me in a corner | R |
| And then she died and haunted me | P |
| And hunted me for life | S |
