Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EFGEH IJIIJ| When my time is come to die | A |
| I would shun the decent gloom | B |
| Whispered word and weeping eye | A |
| Fitful hum of knowing fly | A |
| Questing through the darkened room | B |
| - | |
| I would lay my skin and bone | C |
| Where no busy care could trace | D |
| Failing steps by bush and stone | C |
| With my farewell dream alone | C |
| In a bird frequented place | D |
| - | |
| So the sounds that bless my ear | E |
| When my weary eyelids close | F |
| Will be songs of hope and cheer | G |
| So departing I shall hear | E |
| How the tide of living flows | H |
| - | |
| So my memories shall not be | I |
| Blurred by griefs however true | J |
| So my drowsy sense may see | I |
| Eyes that light in love on me | I |
| So I'll not be leaving you | J |
