Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD CECECDCDOh days of youth and joy long clouded | A |
Why thus for ever haunt my view | B |
When in the grave your light lay shrouded | A |
Why did not Memory die there too | B |
Vainly doth hope her strain now sing me | C |
Telling of joys that yet remain | D |
No never more can this life bring me | C |
One joy that equals youth's sweet pain | D |

Dim lies the way to death before me | C |
Cold winds of Time blow round my brow | E |
Sunshine of youth that once fell o'er me | C |
Where is your warmth your glory now | E |
'Tis not that then no pain could sting me | C |
'Tis not that now no joys remain | D |
Oh 'tis that life no more can bring me | C |
One joy so sweet as that worst pain | D |
