Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE EGHI JKEKBefore the grass grew over me | A |
I knew one good man through and through | B |
And knew a soul and body joined | C |
Are stronger than the heavens are blue | B |
- | |
A wisdom worthy of thy joy | D |
O great heart read I as I ran | E |
Now though men smite me on the face | F |
I cannot curse the face of man | E |

I loved the man I saw yestreen | E |
Hanged with his babe's blood on his palms | G |
I loved the man I saw to day | H |
Who knocked not when he came with alms | I |

Hush for thy sake I even faced | J |
The knowledge that is worse than hell | K |
And loved the man I saw but now | E |
Hanging head downwards in the well | K |
