Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH BJKJ LMNM COPO QMRS| Now that the pain is gone I too can smile | A |
| At such a foolish picture you and me | B |
| Together in that moonlit summer night | C |
| Within the shadow of an aspen tree | B |
| - | |
| My hand was on your shoulder I grew wild | D |
| The blood seethed furiously through my heart | E |
| But you Oh you were saintly calm and cold | F |
| You moved my hand and said 'T is best we part | E |
| - | |
| My face fell on the bands of your fair hair | G |
| A moonbeam struck across my hungry eye | H |
| And struck across your balmy crimson mouth | I |
| I longed to kiss you and I longed to die | H |
| - | |
| Die in the shadow of the trembling tree | B |
| Trembling my soul away upon your breast | J |
| You smiled and drifted both your snowy hands | K |
| Against my forehead and your fingers pressed | J |
| - | |
| Faintly and slow adown my burning face | L |
| A keen sense of the woman touched you then | M |
| The nice dramatic sense you women have | N |
| Playing upon the feelings of us men | M |
| - | |
| Long years have passed since that midsummer night | C |
| But still I feel the creeping of your hand | O |
| Along my face If I return once more | P |
| And in the shadow of that tree should stand | O |
| - | |
| With you there Answer Would you kiss me back | Q |
| Would you reject me if I sued again | M |
| How strange this is I think my madness lasts | R |
| Although I'm sure I have forgot the pain | S |
