Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBC ABABBC C ABABBCBC DABABBCBC| One moment bid the horses wait | A |
| Since tiffin is not laid till three | B |
| Below the upward path and straight | A |
| You climbed a year ago with me | B |
| Love came upon us suddenly | B |
| And loosed an idle hour to kill | C |
| A headless armless armory | B |
| That smote us both on Jakko Hill | C |

| Ah Heaven we would wait and wait | A |
| Through Time and to Eternity | B |
| Ah Heaven we could conquer Fate | A |
| With more than Godlike constancy | B |
| I cut the date upon a tree | B |
| Here stand the clumsy figures still | C |

| Damp with the mist of Jakko Hill | C |
| - | |
| What came of high resolve and great | A |
| And until Death fidelity | B |
| Whose horse is waiting at your gate | A |
| Whose 'rickshaw wheels ride over me | B |
| No Saint's I swear and let me see | B |
| To night what names your programme fill | C |
| We drift asunder merrily | B |
| As drifts the mist on Jakko Hill | C |

| L'ENVOI | D |
| Princess behold our ancient state | A |
| Has clean departed and we see | B |
| 'Twas Idleness we took for Fate | A |
| That bound light bonds on you and me | B |
| Amen Here ends the comedy | B |
| Where it began in all good will | C |
| Since Love and Leave together flee | B |
| As driven mist on Jakko Hill | C |
