Rhyme Scheme: ABCCCDEEDFFGGCC ABCCCHEIHJJKKCC| I met my love a weeping | A |
| Weeping in the night tide pale | B |
| Her head among the lily bloom | C |
| Weeping by an empty tomb | C |
| An unshut tomb | C |
| I gently stroked her golden hair | D |
| That shone so | E |
| With the moon glow | E |
| In the sad sweet air | D |
| Like playful breezes from the south | F |
| Came soft smile dimples to her mouth | F |
| And when again she seemed to weep | G |
| I kissed her wild wide eyes to sleep | G |
| While there beyond the lily bloom | C |
| I saw the watching waiting tomb | C |
| - | |
| I left my love a sleeping | A |
| Sleeping in the cypress vale | B |
| Smiling sadly in the gloom | C |
| Sleeping in the fastened tomb | C |
| The tight shut tomb | C |
| How round the tomb the moving mists | H |
| Will twirl so | E |
| When the wind blows | I |
| That the ivy twists | H |
| And shudders round the cold grey stone | J |
| A serpent on a crumbling throne | J |
| While I upon a nearby mound | K |
| Hear salt tears soaking in the ground | K |
| But there when er the lilies bloom | C |
| I hear low laughter in the tomb | C |
