Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Pity me not because the light of day | A |
| At close of day no longer walks the sky | B |
| Pity me not for beauties passed away | A |
| From field and thicket as the the year goes by | B |
| Pity me not the waning of the moon | C |
| Nor that the ebbing tide goes out to sea | D |
| Nor that a man's desire is hushed so soon | C |
| And you no longer look with love on me | D |
| This have I known always Love is no more | E |
| Than the wide blossom which the wind assails | F |
| Than the great tide that treads the shifting shore | E |
| Strewing fresh wreckage gathered in the gales | F |
| Pity me that the heart is slow to learn | G |
| What the swift mind beholds at ever turn | G |
