Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCCDEFFGH| Madam the flower that I received from you | A |
| Ere I came home had lost its lovely hue | A |
| As flowers deprived of the genial day | B |
| Its sprightly bloom did wither and decay | B |
| Dear fading flower I know full well said I | C |
| The reason why you shed your sweets and die | C |
| You want the influence of her enlivening eye | C |
| Your case is mine Absence that plague of love | D |
| With heavy pace makes every minute move | E |
| It of my being is an empty blank | F |
| And hinders me myself with men to rank | F |
| Your cheering presence quickeneth me again | G |
| And new sprung life exults in every vein | H |
