Rhyme Scheme: ABCCA DEFFD GHIIG JKLLM| He trod the earth but yesterday | A |
| And now he treads the stars | B |
| He left us in the April time | C |
| He praised so often in his rhyme | C |
| He left the singing and the lyre and went his way | A |
| - | |
| He drew new music from our tongue | D |
| A music subtly wrought | E |
| And moulded words to his desire | F |
| As wind doth mould a wave of fire | F |
| From strangely fashioned harps slow golden tones he wrung | D |
| - | |
| I think the singing understands | G |
| That he who sang is still | H |
| And Iseult cries that he is dead | I |
| Does not Dolores bow her head | I |
| And Fragoletta weep and wring her little hands | G |
| - | |
| New singing now the singer hears | J |
| To lyre and lute and harp | K |
| Catullus waits to welcome him | L |
| And thro' the twilight sweet and dim | L |
| Sappho's forgotten songs are falling on his ears | M |
