Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGG HHEEIJCKLLFFEEMMEENN OO| Go said the angry weeping maid | A |
| The charm is broken once betrayed | A |
| Never can this wronged heart rely | B |
| On word or look on oath or sigh | B |
| Take back the gifts so fondly given | C |
| With promised faith and vows to heaven | C |
| That little ring which night and morn | D |
| With wedded truth my hand hath worn | D |
| That seal which oft in moments blest | E |
| Thou hast upon my lip imprest | E |
| And sworn its sacred spring should be | F |
| A fountain sealed for only thee | F |
| Take take them back the gift and vow | G |
| All sullied lost and hateful now | G |

| I took the ring the seal I took | H |
| While oh her every tear and look | H |
| Were such as angels look and shed | E |
| When man is by the world misled | E |
| Gently I whispered Fanny dear | I |
| Not half thy lover's gifts are here | J |
| Say where are all the kisses given | C |
| From morn to noon from noon to even | K |
| Those signets of true love worth more | L |
| Than Solomon's own seal of yore | L |
| Where are those gifts so sweet so many | F |
| Come dearest give back all if any | F |
| While thus I whispered trembling too | E |
| Lest all the nymph had sworn was true | E |
| I saw a smile relenting rise | M |
| Mid the moist azure of her eyes | M |
| Like daylight o'er a sea of blue | E |
| While yet in mid air hangs the dew | E |
| She let her cheek repose on mine | N |
| She let my arms around her twine | N |
| One kiss was half allowed and then | O |
| The ring and seal were hers again | O |
