| That finds a ready outlet in the flow | B |

| Of salt and bitter tears is blessed woe | B |
| - | |
| And does not need our sympathies The rain | A |
| - | |
| But fits the shorn field for new yield of grain | A |

| Of sudden tempests or slow dripping tears | E |

| The still unuttered silent wordless grief | D |

| That evermore doth ache and ache and ache | F |
| - | |
| This is the sorrow wherewith hearts do break | F |
