Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH| This was our house To this we came | A |
| Lighted by love with torch aflame | A |
| And in this chamber door locked fast | B |
| I held you to my heart at last | B |
| - | |
| This was our house In this we knew | C |
| The worst that Time and Fate can do | C |
| You left the room bare wide the door | D |
| You did not love me any more | D |
| - | |
| Where once the kind warm curtain hung | E |
| The spider's ghostly cloth is flung | E |
| The beetle and the woodlouse creep | F |
| Where once I loved your lovely sleep | F |
| - | |
| Yet so the vanished spell endures | G |
| That this our house still still is yours | G |
| Here spite of all these years apart | H |
| I still can hold you to my heart | H |
