| And shape two turrets there | B |
| And a broad newelled stair | B |
| And a cool well for crystal water | C |
| Yes I will build a hall anon | A |
| Plant roses love shall feed upon | A |
| And apple trees and pear ' | D |

| He set to build the manor hall | E |
| And shaped the turrets there | B |
| And the broad newelled stair | B |
| And the cool well for crystal water | C |
| He built for me that manor hall | E |
| And planted many trees withal | E |
| But no rose anywhere | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| And as he planted never a rose | F |
| That bears the flower of love | G |
| Though other flower's throve | H |
| A frost wind moved our souls to sever | C |
| Since he had planted never a rose | F |
| And misconceits raised horrid shows | F |
| And agonies came thereof | G |
| - | |
| - | |
| 'I'll mend these miseries ' then said I | I |
| And so at dead of night | J |
| I went and screened from sight | J |
| That nought should keep our souls in severance | K |
| I set a rose bush 'This ' said I | I |
| 'May end divisions dire and wry | I |
| And long drawn days of blight ' | - |
| - | |
| - | |
| But I was called from earth yea called | L |
| Before my rose bush grew | M |
| And would that now I knew | M |
| What feels he of the tree I planted | N |
| And whether after I was called | L |
| To be a ghost he as of old | O |
| Gave me his heart anew | M |
| - | |
| - | |
| Perhaps now blooms that queen of trees | P |
| I set but saw not grow | Q |
| And he beside its glow | Q |
| Eyes couched of the mis vision that blurred me | R |
| Ay there beside that queen of trees | P |
| He sees me as I was though sees | P |
| Too late to tell me so | Q |
