Rhyme Scheme: ABAACDCBB ABAAEEEBB AFAAGGGHH ABAAIJIBB| We are always saying | A |
| Good bye good bye | B |
| In work in playing | A |
| In gloom in gaying | A |

| Of pilgrimage | D |
| From youth to age | C |
| We say Good bye | B |

| Some come from roaming | A |
| With joy again | F |
| Some who come homing | A |
| By stealth at gloaming | A |
| Had better have stopped | G |
| Till death and dropped | G |
| By strange hands propped | G |
| Than come so fain | H |
| So fain | H |

| So with this saying | A |
| Good bye good bye | B |
| We speed their waying | A |
| Without betraying | A |
| Our grief our fear | I |
| No more to hear | J |
| From them close clear | I |
| Again Good bye | B |
| Good bye | B |
