Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GBGBHBHB IBIBJIJI| Which is the weakest thing of all | A |
| Mine heart can ponder | B |
| The sun a little cloud can pall | C |
| With darkness yonder | B |
| The cloud a little wind can move | D |
| Where'er it listeth | E |
| The wind a little leaf above | F |
| Though sere resisteth | E |
| - | |
| What time that yellow leaf was green | G |
| My days were gladder | B |
| But now whatever Spring may mean | G |
| I must grow sadder | B |
| Ah me a leaf with sighs can wring | H |
| My lips asunder | B |
| Then is mine heart the weakest thing | H |
| Itself can ponder | B |
| - | |
| Yet Heart when sun and cloud are pined | I |
| And drop together | B |
| And at a blast which is not wind | I |
| The forests wither | B |
| Thou from the darkening deathly curse | J |
| To glory breakest | I |
| The Strongest of the universe | J |
| Guarding the weakest | I |
