Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI| This Band which bound thy yellow hair | A |
| Is mine sweet girl thy pledge of love | B |
| It claims my warmest dearest care | A |
| Like relics left of saints above | B |
| - | |
| Oh I will wear it next my heart | C |
| 'Twill bind my soul in bonds to thee | D |
| From me again 'twill ne'er depart | C |
| But mingle in the grave with me | D |
| - | |
| The dew I gather from thy lip | E |
| Is not so dear to me as this | F |
| That I but for a moment sip | E |
| And banquet on a transient bliss | F |
| - | |
| This will recall each youthful scene | G |
| E'en when our lives are on the wane | H |
| The leaves of Love will still be green | G |
| When Memory bids them bud again | I |
George Gordon Lord Byron
