Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFGHH IIJJKKLMNNOOPCQQRR SSTTUUVVDE| Come not again I dwell with you | A |
| Above the realm of frost and dew | A |
| Of pain and fire and growth to death | B |
| I dwell with you where never breath | B |
| Is drawn but fragrance vital flows | C |
| From life to life even as a rose | C |
| Unseen pours sweetness through each vein | D |
| And from the air distills again | E |
| You are my rose unseen we live | F |
| Where each to other joy may give | G |
| In ways untold by means unknown | H |
| And secret as the magnet stone | H |
| - | |
| For which of us indeed is dead | I |
| No more I lean to kiss your head | I |
| The gold red hair so thick upon it | J |
| Joy feels no more the touch that won it | J |
| When o'er my brow your pearl cool palm | K |
| In tenderness so childish calm | K |
| Crept softly once Yet see my arm | L |
| Is strong and still my blood runs warm | M |
| I still can work and think and weep | N |
| But all this show of life I keep | N |
| Is but the shadow of your shine | O |
| Flicker of your fire husk of your vine | O |
| Therefore you are not dead nor I | P |
| Who hear your laughter's minstrelsy | C |
| Among the stars your feet are set | Q |
| Your little feet are dancing yet | Q |
| Their rhythmic beat as when on earth | R |
| So swift so slight are death and birth | R |
| - | |
| Come not again dear child If thou | S |
| By any chance couldst break that vow | S |
| Of silence at thy last hour made | T |
| If to this grim life unafraid | T |
| Thou couldst return and melt the frost | U |
| Wherein thy bright limbs' power was lost | U |
| Still would I whisper since so fair | V |
| This silent comradeship we share | V |
| Yes whisper 'mid the unbidden rain | D |
| Of tears Come not come not again | E |
