Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFH IJIJ| Woman much missed how you call to me call to me | A |
| Saying that now you are not as you were | B |
| When you had changed from the one who was all to me | A |
| But as at first when our day was fair | C |
| - | |
| Can it be you that I hear Let me view you then | D |
| Standing as when I drew near to the town | E |
| Where you would wait for me yes as I knew you then | D |
| Even to the original air blue gown | E |
| - | |
| Or is it only the breeze in its listlessness | F |
| Travelling across the wet mead to me here | G |
| You being ever dissolved to wan wistlessness | F |
| Heard no more again far or near | H |
| - | |
| Thus I faltering forward | I |
| Leaves around me falling | J |
| Wind oozing thin through the thorn from norward | I |
| And the woman calling | J |
