Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE CGHGIJKJ LMNMOPQP RSNSTUVU BWRWXYZA2 DB2C2B2ZC2ZC2| The melody of autumn | A |
| Is the only tune I know | B |
| And I sing it over and over | C |
| Because it thrills me so | B |
| It stirs anew the happy wish | D |
| So near to perfect bliss | E |
| To live a little longer in | F |
| A world like this | E |
| - | |
| The sound was never sweeter | C |
| The voice so nearly mute | G |
| As beauty dying loses | H |
| Her hold upon the lute | G |
| And like the harmonies that touch | I |
| And blend with those above | J |
| Forever must an echo wake | K |
| The heart of love | J |
| - | |
| Her robe of brown and coral | L |
| And amber glistens through | M |
| Rare jewels of the morning | N |
| The opals of the dew | M |
| Like royal fabrics worn beneath | O |
| The tinselry of pearls | P |
| Or diamond dust by fashion strewn | Q |
| On sunny curls | P |
| - | |
| If I could wrap such garments | R |
| In true artistic style | S |
| About myself departing | N |
| And wear as sweet a smile | S |
| And be as guileless as the flowers | T |
| My friends would never sigh | U |
| 'Twould reconcile them to my death | V |
| To see me die | U |
| - | |
| And why should there be sorrow | B |
| When dying is no more | W |
| Than 'twixt two bright apartments | R |
| The opening of a door | W |
| Through which the freed enraptured soul | X |
| From this a paradise | Y |
| May pass to that supremely fair | Z |
| Beyond the skies | A2 |
| - | |
| Oh 'twere not hard to finish | D |
| When earth with tender grace | B2 |
| Prepares for her dear children | C2 |
| So sweet a resting place | B2 |
| And though in dissolution's throe | Z |
| The melody be riven | C2 |
| The song abruptly ended here | Z |
| Goes on in Heaven | C2 |
