Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EAEEA FGFFG| I saw him steal the light away | A |
| That haunted in her eye | B |
| It went so gently none could say | A |
| More than that it was there one day | A |
| And missing by and by | B |
| - | |
| I watched her longer and he stole | C |
| Her lily tincts and rose | D |
| All her young sprightliness of soul | C |
| Next fell beneath his cold control | C |
| And disappeared like those | D |
| - | |
| I asked Why do you serve her so | E |
| Do you for some glad day | A |
| Hoard these her sweets He said O no | E |
| They charm not me I bid Time throw | E |
| Them carelessly away | A |
| - | |
| Said I We call that cruelty | F |
| We your poor mortal kind | G |
| He mused The thought is new to me | F |
| Forsooth though I men's master be | F |
| Theirs is the teaching mind | G |
