Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JIJIKKHe was my best and oldest friend | A |
I'd known him all my life | B |
And yet I'm sure towards the end | A |
He knew I loved his wife | B |
And wonder wonder if it's why | C |
He came so dreadfully to die | C |

He drove his car at racing speed | D |
And crashed into a tree | E |
How could he have so little heed | D |
A skillful driver he | E |
I think he must have found that day | F |

I looked into the woman's eyes | G |
And there I saw she knew | H |
There was no shadow of surmise | G |

That he might leave her free to wed | I |
The quot me quot she worshipped in his stead | I |

She whispered as she bade me go | J |
quot I think he found us out quot | I |
And in her face the hate and woe | J |
Was his revenge no doubt | I |
Life cannot link us though glad green | K |
His grave he stands between | K |
