Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBDEDEDE| XXXVI | A |
| - | |
| When we met first and loved I did not build | B |
| Upon the event with marble Could it mean | C |
| To last a love set pendulous between | C |
| Sorrow and sorrow Nay I rather thrilled | B |
| Distrusting every light that seemed to gild | B |
| The onward path and feared to overlean | C |
| A finger even And though I have grown serene | C |
| And strong since then I think that God has willed | B |
| A still renewable fear O love O troth | D |
| Lest these enclasped hands should never hold | E |
| This mutual kiss drop down between us both | D |
| As an unowned thing once the lips being cold | E |
| And Love be false if he to keep one oath | D |
| Must lose one joy by his life's star foretold | E |
