Rhyme Scheme: A BABACDCE A FGHGAIAI| I | A |
| - | |
| O briar scents on yon wet wing | B |
| Of warm South west wind brushing by | A |
| You mind me of the sweetest thing | B |
| That ever mingled frank and shy | A |
| When she and I by love enticed | C |
| Beneath the orchard apples met | D |
| In equal halves a ripe one sliced | C |
| And smelt the juices ere we ate | E |

| II | A |
| - | |
| That apple of the briar scent | F |
| Among our lost in Britain now | G |
| Was green of rind and redolent | H |
| Of sweetness as a milking cow | G |
| The briar gives it back well nigh | A |
| The damsel with her teeth on it | I |
| Her twinkle between frank and shy | A |
| My thirst to bite where she had bit | I |
