Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDDC EFFE EDED| O sorrowful thought But one more flying year | A |
| And our ways part perhaps no more to meet | B |
| And must we then less dear | A |
| Grow to each other as the swift days fleet | B |
| - | |
| Look as two boughs from one stem branching grow | C |
| Apart until their high leaves touch no longer | D |
| Save when some chance gust stronger | D |
| Than most the one back to the other blow | C |

| Like that tree's branches so shall we two be | E |

| Yet still however parted | F |
| Rooted in the dear past and memory | E |

| Time cannot take those for our souls are free | E |
| Whatever come Then O when you have leisure | D |
| For old thoughts think of me | E |
| Whose mind holds you for its most treasured treasure | D |
