Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EBBE FDDF| I have done all I could | A |
| For that lady I knew Through the heats I have shaded her | B |
| Drawn to her songsters when summer has jaded her | B |
| Home from the heath or the wood | A |
| - | |
| At the mirth time of May | C |
| When my shadow first lured her I'd donned my new bravery | D |
| Of greenth 'twas my all Now I shiver in slavery | D |
| Icicles grieving me gray | C |
| - | |
| Plumed to every twig's end | E |
| I could tempt her chair under me Much did I treasure her | B |
| During those days she had nothing to pleasure her | B |
| Mutely she used me as friend | E |
| - | |
| I'm a skeleton now | F |
| And she's gone craving warmth The rime sticks like a skin to me | D |
| Through me Arcturus peers Nor'lights shoot into me | D |
| Gone is she scorning my bough | F |
