Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GDGD| Lay but a finger on | A |
| That pallid petal sweet | B |
| It trembles gray and wan | A |
| Beneath the passing feet | B |

| But soft blown rose we know | C |
| A merriment of bloom | D |
| A life of sturdy glow | C |
| But no such dear perfume | D |

| Of life with beauty's fraught | F |
| Grays on to ripe old age | E |
| Sweet mellowed through with thought | F |

| So when his hoary head | G |
| Is wept into the tomb | D |
| The mind which is not dead | G |
| Sheds round it rare perfume | D |
