Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDEEFGHHIIJJKKL LMMJJNOMMPPQQRSSTJJ| The stream is very sweet | A |
| To day Just see the swallow dart | B |
| How fleet | A |
| It sent a shiver to my heart | B |
| If he had lived you say | C |
| Well well if he had lived what then | D |
| Some men | D |
| Will always argue yes I know of course | E |
| The argument has force | E |
| If he had lived he might have changed | F |
| From bad to worse | G |
| Nay my shrewd balance setter | H |
| Why not from good to better | H |
| Why not to best to joy | I |
| And splendour O my boy | I |
| I did not want this argument in the least | J |
| My soul had ceased | J |
| From doubt and questioning | K |
| That swallow's wing | K |
| What a transcendent rush | L |
| Hush hush | L |
| Or if you talk talk low | M |
| For do you know | M |
| Just as the swallow dipt | J |
| I felt as if a soft hand slipt | J |
| Its fingers into mine he's near | N |
| He's with us 'tis not right the child should hear | O |
| This jangling low then low | M |
| Or this is better go | M |
| Go darling play upon the bank | P |
| And prank | P |
| Your hair with daisy and with buttercup | Q |
| And we will meet you higher up | Q |
| Now then If he had lived if my sweet son | R |
| Had lived You stare | S |
| There there | S |
| 'Tis gone 'tis gone | T |
| It was the swallow's dart | J |
| That sent a shiver to my heart | J |
