Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIGJKLMFNOKPQ RGSFTUVWXCIYDFYou left me and went on your way | A |
I thought I should mourn for you | B |
and set your solitary image in my | C |
heart wrought in a golden song | D |
But ah my evil fortune time is | E |
short | F |
Youth wanes year after year the | G |
spring days are fugitive the frail | H |
flowers die for nothing and the wise | I |
man warns me that life is but a | G |
dewdrop on the lotus leaf | J |
Should I neglect all this to gaze after | K |

Then come my rainy nights with | N |
pattering feet smile my golden | O |
autumn come careless April scatter | K |
ing your kisses abroad | P |
You come and you and you also | Q |
My loves you know we are mortals | R |
Is it wise to break one's heart for the | G |
one who takes her heart away For | S |

It is sweet to sit in a corner to muse | T |
and write in rhymes that you are all | U |
my world | V |
It is heroic to hug one's sorrow and | W |
determine not to be consoled | X |
But a fresh face peeps across my | C |
door and raise its eyes to my eyes | I |
I cannot but wipe away my tears | Y |
and change the tune of my song | D |
For time is short | F |
