Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEED FGFGHH IJKLKEEKIs there a bitter pang for love removed | A |
O God The dead love doth not cost more tears | B |
Than the alive the loving the beloved | C |
Not yet not yet beyond all hopes and fears | D |
Would I were laid | E |
Under the shade | E |
Of the calm grave and the long grass of years | D |

That love might die with sorrow I am sorrow | F |
And she that loves me tenderest doth press | G |
Most poison from my cruel lips and borrow | F |
Only new anguish from the old caress | G |
Oh this world's grief | H |
Hath no relief | H |

In being wrung from a great happiness | I |
Would I had never filled thine eyes with love | J |
For love is only tears would I had never | K |
Breathed such a curse like blessing as we prove | L |
Now if 'Farewell' could bless thee I would sever | K |
Would I were laid | E |
Under the shade | E |
Of the cold tomb and the long grass forever | K |
