Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEAA FFGGBB HHIIJJ| What does time whisper youth gay and light | A |
| While thinning thy locks silken and bright | A |
| While paling thy soft cheek s roseate dye | B |
| Dimming the light of thy flashing eye | B |
| Stealing thy bloom and freshness away | C |
| Is he not hinting at death decay | C |
| - | |
| Man in the wane of thy stately prime | D |
| Hear st thou the silent warnings of Time | D |
| Look at thy brow ploughed by anxious care | E |
| The silver hue of thy once dark hair | E |
| What boot thine honors thy treasures bright | A |
| When Time tells of coming gloom and night | A |
| - | |
| Sad age dost thou note thy strength nigh spent | F |
| How slow thy footstep thy form how bent | F |
| Yet on looking back how short doth seem | G |
| The checkered coarse of thy life s brief dream | G |
| Time daily weakening each link and tie | B |
| Doth whisper how soon thou art to die | B |
| - | |
| O what a weary world were ours | H |
| With that thought to cloud our brightest hours | H |
| Did we not know that beyond the skies | I |
| A land of beauty and promise ties | I |
| Where peaceful and blessed we will love adore | J |
| When Time itself shall be no more | J |
