Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGDGDHIHI JKJK| Welcome dear Heart and a most kind good morrow | A |
| The day is gloomy but our looks shall shine | B |
| Flowers I have none to give thee but I borrow | A |
| Their sweetness in a verse to speak for thine | B |
| Here are red roses gather'd at thy cheeks | C |
| The white were all too happy to look white | D |
| For love the rose for faith the lily speaks | C |
| It withers in false hands but here 'tis bright | D |
| Dost love sweet Hyacinth Its scented leaf | E |
| Curls manifold all love's delights blow double | F |
| 'Tis said this flow'ret is inscribed with grief | E |
| But let that hint of a forgotten trouble | F |
| I pluck'd the Primrose at night's dewy noon | G |
| Like Hope it show'd its blossoms in the night | D |
| 'Twas like Endymion watching for the Moon | G |
| And here are Sun flowers amorous of light | D |
| These golden Buttercups are April's seal | H |
| The Daisy stars her constellations be | I |
| These grew so lowly I was forced to kneel | H |
| Therefore I pluck no Daisies but for thee | I |
| Here's Daisies for the morn Primrose for gloom | J |
| Pansies and Roses for the noontide hours | K |
| A wight once made a dial of their bloom | J |
| So may thy life be measured out by flowers | K |
