Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE CGHG IJHJ KLML NOCP HQRS OACA| We paused to say good by | A |
| As we thought for a little while | B |
| Alone in the car in the corner | C |
| Around the turn of the aisle | B |
| - | |
| A quiver came in your voice | D |
| Your eyes were sorrowful too | E |
| 'Twas over I strode to the doorway | F |
| Then turned to wave an adieu | E |
| - | |
| But you had not come from the corner | C |
| And though I had gone so far | G |
| I retraced and faced you coming | H |
| Into the aisle of the car | G |
| - | |
| You stopped as one who was caught | I |
| In an evil mood by surprise | J |
| I want to forget I am trying | H |
| To forget the look in your eyes | J |
| - | |
| Your face was blank and cold | K |
| Like Lot's wife turned to salt | L |
| I suddenly trapped and discovered | M |
| Your soul in a hidden fault | L |
| - | |
| Your eyes were tearless and wide | N |
| And your wide eyes looked on me | O |
| Like a M nad musing murder | C |
| Or the mask of Melpomene | P |
| - | |
| And there in a flash of lightning | H |
| I learned what I never could prove | Q |
| That your heart contained no sorrow | R |
| And your heart contained no love | S |
| - | |
| And my heart is light and heavy | O |
| And this is the reason why | A |
| I am glad we parted forever | C |
| And sad for the last good by | A |
