Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCA ADDCCA AEECCA| O touch me with your hands | A |
| For pity's sake | B |
| My brow throbs ever on with such an ache | B |
| As only your cool touch may take away | C |
| And so I pray | C |
| You touch me with your hands | A |
| - | |
| Touch touch me with your hands | A |
| Smooth back the hair | D |
| You once caressed and kissed and called so fair | D |
| That I did dream its gold would wear alway | C |
| And lo to day | C |
| O touch me with your hands | A |
| - | |
| Just touch me with your hands | A |
| And let them press | E |
| My weary eyelids with the old caress | E |
| And lull me till I sleep Then go your way | C |
| That Death may say | C |
| He touched her with his hands | A |
