Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD BEBE FBFB| Belated wanderer of the ways of spring | A |
| Lost in the chill of grim November rain | B |
| Would I could read the message that you bring | A |
| And find in it the antidote for pain | B |
| - | |
| Does some sad spirit out beyond the day | C |
| Far looking to the hours forever dead | D |
| Send you a tender offering to lay | C |
| Upon the grave of us the living dead | D |
| - | |
| Or does some brighter spirit unforlorn | B |
| Send you my little sister of the wood | E |
| To say to some one on a cloudful morn | B |
| Life lives through death my brother all is good | E |
| - | |
| With meditative hearts the others go | F |
| The memory of their dead to dress anew | B |
| But sister mine bide here that I may know | F |
| Life grows through death as beautiful as you | B |
