Rhyme Scheme: AABCAD EEAAF GGHHCC IIJJKK| I am looking for Love Has he passed this way | A |
| With eyes as blue as the skies of May | A |
| And a face as fair as the summer dawn | B |
| You answer back but I wander on | C |
| For you say 'Oh yes but his eyes were gray | A |
| And his face as dim as a rainy day ' | D |
| - | |
| Good friends I query I search for Love | E |
| His eyes are as blue as the skies above | E |
| And his smile as bright as the midst of May | A |
| When the truce bird pipes Has he passed this way | A |
| And one says 'Ay but his face alack | F |
| Frowned as he passed and his eyes were black ' | - |
| - | |
| O who will tell me of Love I cry | G |
| His eyes are as blue as the mid May sky | G |
| And his face as bright as the morning sun | H |
| And you answer and mock me every one | H |
| That his eyes were dark and his face was wan | C |
| And he passed you frowning and wandered on | C |
| - | |
| But stout of heart will I onward fare | I |
| Knowing my Love is beyond somewhere | I |
| The Love I seek with the eyes of blue | J |
| And the bright sweet smile unknown of you | J |
| And on from the hour his trail is found | K |
| I shall sing sonnets the whole year round | K |
