Rhyme Scheme: ABCCC DEDEE FCFCC CGCGCHCI JKJKK LCLCMCCNCNCN| Can I forget how when you stood | A |
| 'Mid orchards whence spring bloom had fled | B |
| Stars made the orchards seem a bud | C |
| And weighed the sighing boughs o'erhead | C |
| With shining ghosts of blossoms dead | C |
| - | |
| Or when you bowed a lily tall | D |
| Above your August lilies slim | E |
| Transparent pale that by the wall | D |
| Like softest moonlight seemed to swim | E |
| Brimmed with faint fragrance to the brim | E |
| - | |
| And in the cloud that lingered low | F |
| A silent pallor in the West | C |
| There stirred and beat a golden glow | F |
| Of some great heart that could not rest | C |
| A heart of gold within its breast | C |
| - | |
| Your heart your life was in the wild | C |
| Your joy to hear the whip poor will | G |
| Lament its love when wafted mild | C |
| The harvest drifted from the hill | G |
| The deep deep wildwood where had trod | C |
| The red deer o'er the fallen hush | H |
| Of Fall's torn leaves when the low tod | C |
| Was frosty 'neath each berried bush | I |
| - | |
| At dusk the whip will still complains | J |
| Above your lolling lilies where | K |
| Their faces white the moonlight stains | J |
| The dreamy stream flows far and fair | K |
| Whisp'ring of rest an easeful air | K |
| - | |
| O music of the falling rain | L |
| At night unto her painless rest | C |
| Sound sweet and sad then is she fain | L |
| To see the wild flowers on her breast | C |
| Lift moist pure faces up again | M |
| To breathe to God their fragrance blest | C |
| Thick pleated beeches long have crossed | C |
| Old mighty arms above her tomb | N |
| Where oft I watch at night her ghost | C |
| Bow to the wild flower's full blown bloom | N |
| A mist of curls where Summer lost | C |
| Her tangled sunbeams and perfume | N |
