Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFGFHF IJKJDJ ELMNOL HPQPGR SFTFUF VJEWCJ| Slow days have passed that make a year | A |
| Slow hours that make a day | B |
| Since I could take my first dear love | C |
| And kiss him the old way | B |
| Yet the green leaves touch me on the cheek | D |
| Dear Christ this month of May | B |
| - | |
| I lie among the tall green grass | E |
| That bends above my head | F |
| And covers up my wasted face | G |
| And folds me in its bed | F |
| Tenderly and lovingly | H |
| Like grass above the dead | F |
| - | |
| Dim phantoms of an unknown ill | I |
| Float through my tired brain | J |
| The unformed visions of my life | K |
| Pass by in ghostly train | J |
| Some pause to touch me on the cheek | D |
| Some scatter tears like rain | J |
| - | |
| A shadow falls along the grass | E |
| And lingers at my feet | L |
| A new face lies between my hands | M |
| Dear Christ if I could weep | N |
| Tears to shut out the summer leaves | O |
| When this new face I greet | L |
| - | |
| Still it is but the memory | H |
| Of something I have seen | P |
| In the dreamy summer weather | Q |
| When the green leaves came between | P |
| The shadow of my dear love s face | G |
| So far and strange it seems | R |
| - | |
| The river ever running down | S |
| Between its grassy bed | F |
| The voices of a thousand birds | T |
| That clang above my head | F |
| Shall bring to me a sadder dream | U |
| When this sad dream is dead | F |
| - | |
| A silence falls upon my heart | V |
| And hushes all its pain | J |
| I stretch my hands in the long grass | E |
| And fall to sleep again | W |
| There to lie empty of all love | C |
| Like beaten corn of grain | J |
