Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IDID JAKA LMLM NDND| HOW long oh my faithful companion and guide | A |
| Thou hast wafted o'er deserts my car | B |
| How oft oh my rein deer thy speed has been tried | A |
| O'er mountains unknown and afar | B |
| - | |
| But thy youth is departed thy fire is no more | C |
| And thy limbs all their vigor have lost | D |
| For age steals upon thee relentless and hoar | C |
| And colder than winter his frost | D |

| How oft has the summer in mantle of green | J |
| Array'd the wild Tenglio's side | A |
| Since thou oh my rein deer my servant hast been | K |
| My faithful companion and guide | A |
| - | |
| When we journey'd together and both in our prime | L |
| How fleet were thy steps o'er the waste | M |
| But fleeter than thee oh my rein deer is time | L |
| More swift more unsparing in haste | M |
| - | |
| For thy youth is departed thy spirit is fled | N |
| And thy limbs all their vigor have lost | D |
| Now age steals upon thee unwelcome and dread | N |
| And colder than winter his frost | D |
