Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC DDD EEE| O lonely workman standing there | A |
| In a dream why do you stare and stare | A |
| At her grave as no other grave where there | A |
| - | |
| If your great gaunt eyes so importune | B |
| Her soul by the shine of this corpse cold moon | B |
| Maybe you'll raise her phantom soon | B |

| Why fool it is what I would rather see | C |
| Than all the living folk there be | C |
| But alas there is no such joy for me | C |

| Ah she was one you loved no doubt | D |
| Through good and evil through rain and drought | D |
| And when she passed all your sun went out | D |
| - | |
| Nay she was the woman I did not love | E |
| Whom all the other were ranked above | E |
| Whom during her life I thought nothing of | E |
