Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCAA DEFF GGFF| THE relic taken what avails the shrine | A |
| The locket pictureless O heart of mine | A |
| Art thou not worse than that | B |
| Still warm a vacant nest where love once sat | B |
| - | |
| Her image nestled closer at my heart | C |
| Than cherished memories healed every smart | C |
| And warmed it more than wine | A |
| Or the full summer sun in noon day shine | A |
| - | |
| This was the little weather gleam that lit | D |
| The cloudy promontories the real charm was | E |
| That gilded hills and woods | F |
| And walked beside me thro' the solitudes | F |
| - | |
| The sun is set My heart is widowed now | G |
| Of that companion thought Alone I plough | G |
| The seas of life and trace | F |
| A separate furrow far from her and grace | F |
