Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBDEFEGE| XVIII | A |
| - | |
| I never gave a lock of hair away | B |
| To a man Dearest except this to thee | C |
| Which now upon my fingers thoughtfully | C |
| I ring out to the full brown length and say | B |
| 'Take it ' My day of youth went yesterday | B |
| My hair no longer bounds to my foot's glee | C |
| Nor plant I it from rose or myrtle tree | C |
| As girls do any more it only may | B |
| Now shade on two pale cheeks the mark of tears | D |
| Taught drooping from the head that hangs aside | E |
| Through sorrow's trick I thought the funeral shears | F |
| Would take this first but Love is justified | E |
| Take it thou finding pure from all those years | G |
| The kiss my mother left here when she died | E |
