Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDBD BEFFBBBBBBBBGHGIHI JKJLMBMB NBJOBBJONBBBBBEEBBPQ RQQDDD| WHO shall forget till his last hour be come | A |
| Until the useful service of the dust | B |
| Hath drawn the emptying cerements in and in | C |
| Until the Earth hath eaten love and lust | B |
| Mirth Beauty and their kin | C |
| Who shall forget that hour | D |
| That night unstarred that day ungarlanded | B |
| Where fell the petals of that fadeless flower | D |
| - | |
| When every word was said | B |
| That long had bared frustrate and savage teeth | E |
| Leashed in the perishable thong of days | F |
| And whipped to words of praise | F |
| When every ill and each ingratitude | B |
| Each joy misnamed | B |
| Each deed misunderstood | B |
| Was flogged into the daylight halt and maimed | B |
| Out of its bier to bear the day's disgust | B |
| Out of its decent bed | B |
| To beat Love's tortured head | B |
| Into the troubled and uncertain dust | B |
| Who can forget the naked hour profane | G |
| When Love fled from us shrieking through the dark | H |
| His torch blown backward by the hurricane | G |
| Licking his dreadful features with its tongue | I |
| While his mouth spat a curse at every spark | H |
| And a scourged menace flung | I |
| - | |
| Thou wert that dreadful thing | J |
| O Beautiful O Rare O Breath of rose | K |
| O Spirit as impalpable as Spring | J |
| How have I held thee then Too long too close | L |
| For it was thou was thou who left me thus | M |
| With each sweet thing with all the lovely host | B |
| That turning stared at us | M |
| And shuddering gave up their frailest ghost | B |
| - | |
| Oh to remember Oh to hear the tune | N |
| That Love first sang to us that happy day | B |
| When over us was furled his radiant wing | J |
| Oh for that one May moment Not to lose | O |
| Its greenest leaf or miss its singlest spray | B |
| So that this hour by that forgotten day | B |
| Might be all buried by the buds of Spring | J |
| That soft winds beat not bruise | O |
| To make a bridal bed for June | N |
| From the pale shroud of May | B |
| O Love O Love There was not any need | B |
| For thee to die for me to be bereft | B |
| Our garden to be left | B |
| To nettle and to weed | B |
| To whips of rain when the chid wind was wroth | E |
| Surely by some word some sigh had saved us both | E |
| Could everything be lost | B |
| All torn and tossed | B |
| Between thy speech and mine Could all our vows | P |
| And all our lovely life be laid so low | Q |
| And God fall on His face within the house | R |
| At first marauder's blow | Q |
| Yea it was so | Q |
| And all of pride and pleasure peace and power | D |
| All Life's rich fruit and flower | D |
| Died as least darnel dies in that dread hour | D |
