Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC DCDC EBEB FCFC GHGH IGIG JKLK MHNH| When I was young long long ago | A |
| I dreamed myself among the flowers | B |
| And fancy drew the picture so | A |
| They seemed like Fairies in their bowers | B |
| - | |
| The rose was still a rose you know | A |
| But yet a maid What could I do | C |
| You surely would not have me go | A |
| When rosy maidens seem to woo | C |
| - | |
| My heart was gay and 'mid the throng | D |
| I sported for an hour or two | C |
| We danced the flowery paths along | D |
| And did as youthful lovers do | C |
| - | |
| But sports must cease and so I dreamed | E |
| To part with these my fairy flowers | B |
| But oh how very hard it seemed | E |
| To say good by 'mid such sweet bowers | B |
| - | |
| And one fair Maid of modest air | F |
| Gazed on me with her eye of blue | C |
| I saw the tear drop gathering there | F |
| How could I say to her Adieu | C |
| - | |
| I fondly gave my hand and heart | G |
| And we were wed Bright hour of youth | H |
| How little did I think to part | G |
| With my sweet bride whose name was Truth | H |
| - | |
| But time passed on and Truth grew gray | I |
| And chided though with gentlest art | G |
| I loved her though I went astray | I |
| And almost broke her faithful heart | G |
| - | |
| And then I left her and in tears | J |
| These could not move my hardened breast | K |
| I wandered and for weary years | L |
| I sought for bliss but found no rest | K |
| - | |
| I sought yet ever sought in vain | M |
| To find the peace the joy of youth | H |
| At last I turned me back again | N |
| And found them with my faithful Truth | H |
