Rhyme Scheme: ABCDECFCGHCICFIJKL| Your red blossoms amid green leaves | A |
| Are drooping beautiful geranium | B |
| But you do not ask for water | C |
| You cannot speak You do not need to speak | D |
| Everyone knows that you are dying of thirst | E |
| Yet they do not bring water | C |
| They pass on saying | F |
| The geranium wants water | C |
| And I who had happiness to share | G |
| And longed to share your happiness | H |
| I who loved you Spoon River | C |
| And craved your love | I |
| Withered before your eyes Spoon River | C |
| Thirsting thirsting | F |
| Voiceless from chasteness of soul to ask you for love | I |
| You who knew and saw me perish before you | J |
| Like this geranium which someone has planted over me | K |
| And left to die | L |
