Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFCGHIJKLEJFBMJN J| THE MOTHER of the Muses we are taught | A |
| Is Memory she has left me they remain | B |
| And shake my shoulder urging me to sing | C |
| About the summer days my loves of old | D |
| Alas alas is all I can reply | E |
| Memory has left with me that name alone | F |
| Harmonious name which other bards may sing | C |
| But her bright image in my darkest hour | G |
| Comes back in vain comes back call d or uncall d | H |
| Forgotten are the names of visitors | I |
| Ready to press my hand but yesterday | J |
| Forgotten are the names of earlier friends | K |
| Whose genial converse and glad countenance | L |
| Are fresh as ever to mine ear and eye | E |
| To these when I have written and besought | J |
| Remembrance of me the word Dear alone | F |
| Hangs on the upper verge and waits in vain | B |
| A blessing wert thou O oblivion | M |
| If thy stream carried only weeds away | J |
| But vernal and autumnal flowers alike | N |
| It hurries down to wither on the strand | J |
