Rhyme Scheme: AABA CCDC EEFJOIN hands my dear clasp long and close and fast | A |
Even this present we shall soon call past | A |
And lay among the unforgotten days | B |
Not the less loved because they could not last | A |
- | |
- | |
Make haste to put our hasty words away | C |
And hide them with dead leaves of yesterday | C |
Cast them aside among forgotten things | D |
Keep the love warm that turns to green life's grey | C |

Each little thorn that pricks these present hours | E |
Is sure to hide under our memories' flowers | E |
Till we shall say turning the dry wreath over | F |
'How sweet they were these dear dead days of ours ' | - |
