Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CCCB DDDB EEEB FFFB GGGGHBG| Flying his hair and his eyes averse | A |
| Fleet are his feet and his heart apart | B |
| How could our song his charms rehearse | A |
| Fleet are his feet and his heart apart | B |

| High on a down we found him last | C |
| Shy as a hare he fled as fast | C |
| How could we clasp him or ever he passed | C |
| Fleet are his feet and his heart apart | B |
| - | |
| How could we cling to his limbs that shone | D |
| Ravish his cheeks' red gonfalon | D |
| Or the wild skin cloak that he had on | D |
| Fleet are his feet and his heart apart | B |
| - | |
| For the wind of his feet still straightly shaping | E |
| He loosed at our breasts from his eyes escaping | E |
| One crooked swift glance like a javelin leaping | E |
| Fleet are his feet and his heart apart | B |
| - | |
| And his feet passed over the sunset land | F |
| From the place forlorn where a forlorn band | F |
| Watching him flying we still did stand | F |
| Fleet are his feet and his heart apart | B |
| - | |
| Vanishing now who would not stay | G |
| To the blue hills on the verge of day | G |
| O soft soft Music play | G |
| Fading away | G |
| Fleet are his feet | H |
| And his heart apart | B |
| Fading away | G |
