Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED AFAF GHGH| I would I were the glow worm thou the flower | A |
| That I might fill thy cup with glimmering light | B |
| I would I were the bird and thou the bower | A |
| To sing thee songs throughout the summer night | B |
| - | |
| I would I were a pine tree deeply rooted | C |
| And thou the lofty cloud beleaguered rock | D |
| Still while the blasts of heaven around us hooted | E |
| To cleave to thee and weather every shock | D |
| - | |
| I would I were the rill and thou the river | A |
| So might I leaping from some headlong steep | F |
| With all my waters lost in thine for ever | A |
| Be hurried onwards to the unfathomed deep | F |
| - | |
| I would what would I not O foolish dreaming | G |
| My words are but as leaves by autumn shed | H |
| That in the faded moonlight idly gleaming | G |
| Drop on the grave where all our love lies dead | H |
