Rhyme Scheme: ABABCD EFEGCD HIHICD| Why did we meet long years of yore | A |
| And why did we strike hands and say | B |
| We will be friends and nothing more | A |
| Why are we musing thus to day | B |
| Because because was just because | C |
| And no one knew just why it was | D |
| - | |
| Why did I say good by to you | E |
| Why did I sail across the main | F |
| Why did I love not heaven's own blue | E |
| Until I touched these shores again | G |
| Because because was just because | C |
| And you nor I knew why it was | D |
| - | |
| Why are my arms about you now | H |
| And happy tears upon your cheek | I |
| And why my kisses on your brow | H |
| Look up in thankfulness and speak | I |
| Because because was just because | C |
| And only God knew why it was | D |
