Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GBGBHH ICICJJ GDKDLL MNMNJJ| Friends do you see in yon sunset sky | A |
| That cloud of crimson bright | B |
| Soon will its gorgeous colors die | A |
| In coming dim twilight | B |
| E en now it fadeth ray by ray | C |
| Like it I too shall pass away | C |
| - | |
| Look on yon fragile summer flower | D |
| Yielding its sweet perfume | E |
| Soon shall it have lived out its hour | D |
| Its beauty and its bloom | E |
| Trampled twill perish in the shade | F |
| Alas as quickly shall I fade | F |
| - | |
| Mark you yon planet gleaming clear | G |
| With steadfast gentle light | B |
| See heavy dark clouds hovering near | G |
| Have veiled its radiance bright | B |
| As you vainly search that gloomy spot | H |
| You ll look for me and find me not | H |
| - | |
| Turn now to yonder sparkling stream | I |
| Where silver ripples play | C |
| Dancing within the moon s pale beam | I |
| Ah short will be their stay | C |
| They break and die upon the shore | J |
| Like them I soon shall be no more | J |
| - | |
| Yes emblems meet of my career | G |
| Are ripple cloud and flower | D |
| Fated like me to linger here | K |
| But for a brief bright hour | D |
| And then alas to yield my place | L |
| And leave perchance on earth no trace | L |
| - | |
| No trace my friends save in your hearts | M |
| That pure and sacred shrine | N |
| Where spite life s thousand cares and arts | M |
| A place shall yet be mine | N |
| And love as deep as that of yore | J |
| Though on this earth we meet no more | J |
