Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEE FFDD GGHH IIJJ DDKK| In vain sweet Maid for me you bring | A |
| The first blown blossoms of the spring | A |
| My tearful cheek you wipe in vain | B |
| And bid its pale rose bloom again | C |
| - | |
| In vain unconscious did I say | D |
| Oh you alone these tears can stay | D |
| Alone the pale rose can renew | E |
| Whose sunshine is a smile from you | E |

| Yet not in friendship's smile it lives | F |
| Too cold the gifts that friendship gives | F |
| The beam that warms a winter's day | D |
| Plays coldly in the lap of May | D |
| - | |
| You bid my sad heart cease to swell | G |
| But will you if its tale I tell | G |
| Nor turn away nor frown the while | H |
| But smile as you were wont to smile | H |
| - | |
| Then bring me not the blossoms young | I |
| That erst on Flora's forehead hung | I |
| But round thy radiant temples twine | J |
| The flowers whose flaunting mocks at mine | J |
| - | |
| Give me nor pinks nor pansies gay | D |
| Nor violets fading fast away | D |
| Nor myrtle rue nor rosemary | K |
| But give oh give thyself to me | K |
