Rhyme Scheme: ABBB BCBC DEDE BBBB| Thou art to all lost love the best | A |
| The only true plant found | B |
| Wherewith young men and maids distrest | B |
| And left of love are crown'd | B |
| - | |
| When once the lover's rose is dead | B |
| Or laid aside forlorn | C |
| Then willow garlands 'bout the head | B |
| Bedew'd with tears are worn | C |
| - | |
| When with neglect the lovers' bane | D |
| Poor maids rewarded be | E |
| For their love lost their only gain | D |
| Is but a wreath from thee | E |
| - | |
| And underneath thy cooling shade | B |
| When weary of the light | B |
| The love spent youth and love sick maid | B |
| Come to weep out the night | B |
