Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDE FFAA GGHH AAII JJAA KKLL MMBB NNOO| Dost thou remember Love those hours | A |
| Shot o'er with random rainy showers | A |
| When the bold sun would woo coy May | B |
| She smiled then wept and looked another way | B |
| - | |
| We learning from the sun and season | C |
| Together plotted joyous treason | C |
| 'Gainst maiden majesty to give | D |
| Each other troth and henceforth wedded live | E |
| - | |
| But love ah love we know is blind | F |
| Not always what they seek they find | F |
| When groping through dim lighted natures | A |
| Fond lovers look for old ideal statures | A |
| - | |
| What then Is all our purpose lost | G |
| The balance broken since Fate tossed | G |
| Uneven weights Oh well beware | H |
| That thought my sweet 't were neither fit nor fair | H |
| - | |
| Seek not for any grafted fruits | A |
| From souls so wedded at the roots | A |

| Let that grow forth in mutual ample mold | I |
| - | |
| No sap can circle without flaw | J |
| Into the perfect sphere we saw | J |
| Hanging before our happy eyes | A |
| Amid the shade of marriage mysteries | A |
| - | |
| But all that in the heart doth lurk | K |
| Must toward the mystic shaping work | K |
| Sweet fruit and bitter both must fall | L |
| When the boughs bend at each year's autumn call | L |
| - | |
| Ah dear defect that aye shall lift | M |
| Us higher not through craven shift | M |
| Of fault on common frailty nay | B |
| But twofold hope to help with generous stay | B |
| - | |
| I shall be nearer understood | N |
| More prized art thou than perfect good | N |
| And since thou lov'st me I shall grow | O |
| Thy other self thy Life thy Joy thy Woe | O |
