Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBC DEDF GHGH IBIB JFJF KBKB LBLB FBFB| Through the sunshine and through the rain | A |
| Of these changing days of mist and splendour | B |
| I see the face of a year old pain | A |
| Looking at me with a smile half tender | B |
| - | |
| With a smile half tender and yet all sad | C |
| Into each hour of the mild September | B |
| It comes and finding my life grown glad | C |
| Looks down in my eyes and says 'Remember ' | - |
| - | |
| Says 'Remember ' and points behind | D |
| To days of sorrow and tear wet lashes | E |
| When joy lay dead and hope was blind | D |
| And nothing was left but dust and ashes | F |
| - | |
| Dust and ashes and vain regret | G |
| Flames fanned out and the embers falling | H |
| But the sun of the saddest day must set | G |
| And hope wakes ever with Springtime's calling | H |
| - | |
| With Springtime's calling the pulses thrill | I |
| And the heart is tuned to a sweeter measure | B |
| For never a green Spring crossed the hill | I |
| That came not laden with some new pleasure | B |
| - | |
| Some new pleasure that brings content | J |
| And the heart looks up with a smile of gladness | F |
| And wonders idly when sorrow went | J |
| Out of the life that seemed all sadness | F |
| - | |
| That seemed all sadness and yet grew bright | K |
| With colours we thought could tinge it never | B |
| Yet I think the pain though out of sight | K |
| Like the warp of the carpet is there for ever | B |
| - | |
| There for ever and by and by | L |
| When the woof wears thin or draws asunder | B |
| We see the sombre threads that lie | L |
| Intertwining and twisting under | B |
| - | |
| Twisting under and binding so | F |
| The brighter threads that they may not sever | B |
| Thus the pain of a year ago | F |
| Must stay a part of my life for ever | B |
