Rhyme Scheme: ABCADDEDFFGHABIAJJKJ LLMLNNON| WITHIN this garden space are set | A |
| Sweet mignonette and violet | B |
| Sunk in rich mould at dawn and night | C |
| Their leaves dew wet | A |
| Who set them in the kindly loam | D |
| Lies buried 'neath the clover foam | D |
| Of alien meadows far away | E |
| From his loved home | D |
| If it be glory thus to pass | F |
| For Honour's sake and 'neath the grass | F |
| Red wounded lie then he in truth | G |
| Great glory has | H |
| Yet blossoms that he loved and set | A |
| Sweet mignonette sweet violet | B |
| Not Honour's self nor Glory's crown | I |
| Can stay regret | A |
| 'Twixt bud of leaf and fall of leaf | J |
| Why should Fate in an hour so brief | J |
| Wreck flower and flower and nurse alone | K |
| The cypress Grief | J |
| He is not gone not all of him | L |
| For trees have memories leaf and limb | L |
| Shall breathe his name and grateful flowers | M |
| At twilight dim | L |
| For like these blooms he left behind | N |
| Some fragrance subtle and refined | N |
| A memoried sweetness that shall haunt | O |
| Tree flower and wind | N |
