Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD DDEE FFGG HHII| Call me no more O gentle stream | A |
| To wander through thy sunny dream | A |
| No more to lean at twilight cool | B |
| Above thy weir and glimmering pool | B |
| - | |
| Surely I know thy hoary dawns | C |
| The silver crisp on all thy lawns | C |
| The softly swirling undersong | D |
| That rocks thy reeds the winter long | D |
| - | |
| Surely I know the joys that ring | D |
| Through the green deeps of leafy spring | D |
| I know the elfin cups and domes | E |
| That are their small and secret homes | E |
| - | |
| Yet is the light for ever lost | F |
| That daily once thy meadows crossed | F |
| The voice no more by thee is heard | G |
| That matched the song of stream and bird | G |
| - | |
| Call me no more thy waters roll | H |
| Here in the world that is my soul | H |
| And here though Earth be drowned in night | I |
| Old love shall dwell with old delight | I |
