Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFAFAF| 'Twas a year ago and the moon was bright | A |
| Oh I remember so well so well | B |
| I walked with my love in a sea of light | A |
| And the voice of my sweet was a silver bell | B |
| And sudden the moon grew strangely dull | C |
| And sudden my love had taken wing | D |
| I looked on the face of a grinning skull | C |
| I strained to my heart a ghastly thing | D |

| 'Twas but fantasy for my love lay still | E |
| In my arms with her tender eyes aglow | F |
| And she wondered why my lips were chill | E |
| Why I was silent and kissed her so | F |
| A year has gone and the moon is bright | A |
| A gibbous moon like a ghost of woe | F |
| I sit by a new made grave to night | A |
| And my heart is broken it's strange you know | F |
