Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE CFCF GHGH IJKJ BCBC HLHL| A YEAR ago we walked the wood | A |
| A year ago to day | B |
| A blackbird fluttered round her brood | C |
| Deep in the white flowered may | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| We trod the happy woodland ways | D |
| Where sunset streamed between | E |
| The hazel stems in long dusk rays | D |
| And turned to gold the green | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| A thrush sang where the ferns uncurled | C |
| And clouds of wind flowers grew | F |
| I missed the meaning of the world | C |
| From lack of love for you | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| You missed the beauty of the year | G |
| And failed its self to see | H |
| Through too much doubt and too much fear | G |
| And too much love of me | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| This year we hear the birds' glad strain | I |
| Again the sunset glows | J |
| We walk the wild wet woods again | K |
| Again the wind flower blows | J |
| - | |
| - | |
| In cloudy white the falling may | B |
| Drifts down the scented wind | C |
| And so the secret drifts away | B |
| Which we shall never find | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| Our drifted spirits are not free | H |
| Spring's secret springs to touch | L |
| For now you do not care for me | H |
| And I love you too much | L |
