Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGFGGBGB FHFHIGIG GGGGBJBJWhen this our rose is faded | A |
And these our days are done | B |
In lands profoundly shaded | C |
From tempest and from sun | B |
Ah once more come together | D |
Shall we forgive the past | E |
And safe from worldly weather | D |
Possess our souls at last | E |
- | |
Or in our place of shadows | F |
Shall still we stretch an hand | G |
To green remembered meadows | F |
Of that old pleasant land | G |
And vainly there foregathered | G |
Shall we regret the sun | B |
The rose of love ungathered | G |
The bay we have not won | B |
- | |
Ah child the world's dark marges | F |
May lead to Nevermore | H |
The stately funeral barges | F |
Sail for an unknown shore | H |
And love we vow to morrow | I |
And pride we serve to day | G |
What if they both should borrow | I |
Sad hues of yesterday | G |
- | |
Our pride Ah should we miss it | G |
Or will it serve at last | G |
Our anger if we kiss it | G |
Is like a sorrow past | G |
While roses deck the garden | B |
While yet the sun is high | J |
Doff sorry pride for pardon | B |
Or ever love go by | J |
