Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCD EFEFGGHGGH| Flower of the mountain by the wanderer's hand | A |
| Robbed of thy beauty's short lived sunny day | B |
| Didst thou but blow to gem the stranger's way | B |
| And bloom to wither in the stranger's land | A |
| Hueless and scentless as thou art | C |
| How much that stirs the memory | D |
| How much much more that thrills the heart | C |
| Thou faded thing yet lives in thee | D |
| - | |
| Where is thy beauty in the grassy blade | E |
| There lives more fragrance and more freshness now | F |
| Yet oh not all the flowers that bloom and fade | E |
| Are half so dear to memory's eye as thou | F |
| The dew that on the mountain lies | G |
| The breeze that o'er the mountain sighs | G |
| Thy parent stem will nurse and nourish | H |
| But thou not e'en those sunny eyes | G |
| As bright as blue as thine own skies | G |
| Thou faded thing can make thee flourish | H |
