Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGHICJKLMNEOPJQRSET UOVH WXOPYZA2OB2NC2D2E2F2 Q ABCD| The bird flies home to its young | A |
| The flower folds its leaves about an opening bud | B |
| And in my neighbour's house there is the cry of a child | C |
| I close my window that I need not hear | D |
| - | |
| She is mine and she is very beautiful | E |
| And in her heart there is no evil thought | F |
| There is even love in her heart | G |
| Love of life love of joy love of this fair world | H |
| And love of me or love of my love for her | I |
| Yet she will never consent to bear me a child | C |
| And when I speak of it she weeps | J |
| Always she weeps saying | K |
| 'Do I not bring joy enough into your life | L |
| Are you not satisfied with me and my love | M |
| As I am satisfied with you | N |
| Never would I urge you to some great peril | E |
| To please my whim yet ever so you urge me | O |
| Urge me to risk my happiness yea life itself | P |
| So lightly do you hold me ' And then she weeps | J |
| Always she weeps until I kiss away her tears | Q |
| And soothe her with sweet lies saying I am content | R |
| Then she goes singing through the house like some bright bird | S |
| Preening her wings making herself all beautiful | E |
| Perching upon my knee and pecking at my lips | T |
| With little kisses So again love's ship | U |
| Goes sailing forth upon a portless sea | O |
| From nowhere unto nowhere and it takes | V |
| Or brings no cargoes to enrich the world | H |
| - | |
| The years | W |
| Are passing by us We will yet be old | X |
| Who now are young And all the man in me | O |
| Cries for the reproduction of myself | P |
| Through her I love Why love and youth like ours | Y |
| Could populate with gods and goddesses | Z |
| This great green earth and give the race new types | A2 |
| Were it made fruitful Often I can see | O |
| As in a vision desolate old age | B2 |
| And loneliness descending on us two | N |
| And nowhere in the world nowhere beyond the earth | C2 |
| Fruit of my loins and of her womb to feed | D2 |
| Our hungry hearts To me it seems | E2 |
| More sorrowful than sitting by small graves | F2 |
| And wetting sad eyed pansies with our tears | Q |
| - | |
| The bird flies home to its young | A |
| The flower folds its leaves about an opening bud | B |
| And in my neighbour's house there is the cry of a child | C |
| I close my window that I need not hear | D |
