Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIC JK JLMNFJOPQGRS| 'Your eyes that once were never weary of mine | A |
| Are bowed in sorrow under pendulous lids | B |
| Because our love is waning ' | C |

| 'Although our love is waning let us stand | E |
| By the lone border of the lake once more | F |

| The woods were round them and the yellow leaves | J |
| Fell like faint meteors in the gloom and once | L |
| A rabbit old and lame limped down the path | M |
| Autumn was over him and now they stood | N |
| On the lone border of the lake once more | F |
| Turning he saw that she had thrust dead leaves | J |
| Gathered in silence dewy as her eyes | O |
| In bosom and hair | P |
| 'Ah do not mourn ' he said | Q |
| 'That we are tired for other loves await us | G |
| Hate on and love through unrepining hours | R |
| Before us lies eternity our souls | S |
| Are love and a continual farewell ' | - |
