Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDCDD EFEFF GFGFF HFHFF FDFDD| I Thought of the road through the glen | A |

| Now glooming now gleaming with sun | D |
| The rustic bridge builded of planks | C |
| The bridge over Chenoweth's Run | D |

| Its porch where the roses hung wet | F |
| Where I kissed her and met | F |

| Then I thought of the family graves | G |
| Walled rudely with stone in the West | F |
| Where the sorrowful cedar tree waves | G |
| And the wind is a spirit distressed | F |
| Where they laid her to rest | F |
| - | |
| And my soul overwhelmed with despair | H |
| Cried out on the city and mart | F |
| How I longed how I longed to be there | H |
| Away from the struggle and smart | F |
| By her and my heart | F |
| - | |
| By her and my heart in the West | F |
| Laid sadly together as one | D |
| On her grave for a moment to rest | F |
| Far away from the noise and the sun | D |
| On Chenoweth's Run | D |
