Rhyme Scheme: ABBACC DEEDDD DDDDFF FEEGHH BEEBDD IDDDEE| Two lovers by a moss grown spring | A |
| They leaned soft cheeks together there | B |
| Mingled the dark and sunny hair | B |
| And heard the wooing thrushes sing | A |
| O budding time | C |
| O love's blest prime | C |
| - | |
| Two wedded from the portal stept | D |
| The bells made happy carolings | E |
| The air was soft as fanning wings | E |
| White petals on the pathway slept | D |
| O pure eyed bride | D |
| O tender pride | D |
| - | |
| Two faces o'er a cradle bent | D |
| Two hands above the head were locked | D |
| These pressed each other while they rocked | D |
| Those watched a life that love had sent | D |
| O solemn hour | F |
| O hidden power | F |
| - | |
| Two parents by the evening fire | F |
| The red light fell about their knees | E |
| On heads that rose by slow degrees | E |
| Like buds upon the lily spire | G |
| O patient life | H |
| O tender strife | H |
| - | |
| The two still sat together there | B |
| The red light shone about their knees | E |
| But all the heads by slow degrees | E |
| Had gone and left that lonely pair | B |
| O voyage fast | D |
| O vanished past | D |
| - | |
| The red light shone upon the floor | I |
| And made the space between them wide | D |
| They drew their chairs up side by side | D |
| Their pale cheeks joined and said quot Once more quot | D |
| O memories | E |
| O past that is | E |
