Rhyme Scheme: ABAC D DE FGFG| CHOKED with ill weeds my garden lay a dying | A |
| Hard was the ground no bud had heart to blow | B |
| Yet shone your smile there with your soft breath sighing | A |
| 'Have patience for some day the flowers will grow ' | C |

| Some weeds you killed you made a plot and tilled it | D |
| 'My plot ' you said 'rich harvest yet shall give ' | - |
| With sun warmed seeds of hope your dear hands filled it | D |
| With rain soft tears of pity bade them live | E |
| - | |
| So weak among the weeds that had withstood you | F |
| One little pure white flower grew by and by | G |
| You could not pluck my flower alas how should you | F |
| You sowed the seed but let the blossom die | G |
