Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHGHIJKLLMMN NOOPPQQCCCRSSRR| The Autumn promised and he keeps | A |
| His word unto the meadow rose | B |
| The pure bright lightnings herald Spring | C |
| Serene and glad the fresh earth shows | B |
| The rain has quenched her children's thirst | D |
| Her cheeks but now so cold and dry | E |
| Are soft and fair a laughing face | F |
| With clouds of purple shines the sky | E |
| Though filled with light yet veiled with haze | G |
| Hark hark the turtle's mocking note | H |
| Outsings the valley pigeon's lays | G |
| Her wings are gemmed and from her throat | H |
| When the clear sun gleams back again | I |
| It seems to me as though she wore | J |
| About her neck a jewelled chain | K |
| Say wilt thou darken such a light | L |
| Wilt drag the clouds from heaven's height | L |
| Although thy heart with anger swell | M |
| Yet firm as marble mine doth dwell | M |
| Therein no fear thy wrath begets | N |
| It is not shaken by thy threats | N |
| Yea hurl thy darts thy weapons wield | O |
| The strength of youth is still my shield | O |
| My winged steed toward the heights doth bound | P |
| The dust whiffs upward from the ground | P |
| My song is scanty dost thou deem | Q |
| Thine eloquence a mighty stream | Q |
| Only the blameless offering | C |
| Not the profusion man may bring | C |
| Prevaileth with our Lord and King | C |
| The long days out of minutes grow | R |
| And out of months the years arise | S |
| Wilt thou be master of the wise | S |
| Then learn the hidden stream to know | R |
| That from the inmost heart doth flow | R |
