Rhyme Scheme: AABBCB DEFFGF HHIIJI| WHEN mirth is full and free | A |
| Some sudden gloom shall be | A |
| When haughty power mounts high | B |
| The Watcher s axe is nigh | B |
| All growth has bound when greatest found | C |
| It hastes to die | B |
| - | |
| When the rich town that long | D |
| Has lain its huts among | E |
| Uprears its pageants vast | F |
| And vaunts it shall not last | F |
| Bright tints that shine are but a sign | G |
| Of summer past | F |
| - | |
| And when thine eye surveys | H |
| With fond adoring gaze | H |
| And yearning heart thy friend | I |
| Love to its grave doth tend | I |
| All gifts below save Truth but grow | J |
| Towards an end | I |
