Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDCEBFBGFHIJIJJFK LKMLNOPOQPRPJPSJ| YOU stood beside the flowers | A |
| Yourself a flower | B |
| And on your face | C |
| The twilight stayed another hour | B |
| It shone so pale | D |
| And all around men talked as in a market place | C |
| I heard them talk and felt | E |
| No interest stir | B |
| In what they said | F |
| Lilies were nigh you and around you were | B |
| The lights of love | G |
| And all about the world moved on with nervous tread | F |
| I heard it not for down | H |
| And round about | I |
| My soul you drew | J |
| The veils that shut the loud earth out | I |
| And I and you | J |
| Were there alone no one beside but I and you | J |
| What words were those we said | F |
| Old ones perchance | K |
| Pale with the pain | L |
| Of all who've kissed and talked romance | K |
| And said farewell | M |
| And mixed their tears and kissed and sighed and sighed in vain | L |
| We stood a sainted while | N |
| And then your hand | O |
| Sought to be free | P |
| And you were gone and all the land | O |
| Was under gloom | Q |
| And lamps were lit for other men but none for me | P |
| I stood and watched you go | R |
| And suddenly | P |
| The loud world grew | J |
| Like some great voiced insetting sea | P |
| And men went by | S |
| Talking of trade and war and all but love and you | J |
