Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DBDB EBEB FGHGTake out the blossom in your hair abloom | A |
No more it seemeth beautiful or bright | B |
And sickening is its subtly sweet perfume | A |
He will not come to night | B |
- | |
Take off the necklace with its sparkling gem | C |
And rings that glow and glitter in the light | B |
And fling them in the case that waits for them | C |
He will not come to night | B |
- | |
Take off the robe a little while ago | D |
You chose to make you fairer in his sight | B |
'Tis ten o'clock So late you can but know | D |
He will not come to night | B |
- | |
He will not come God grant you strength and grace | E |
For never more upon your mortal sight | B |
Shall dawn a glimpse of that beloved face | E |
That did not come to night | B |

He will not come And through the shadowed years | F |
The perfume of that blossom that you wore | G |
Shall stir the fount of salt and bitter tears | H |
For one who comes no more | G |
