Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBADDEA BCAABCFFEA CABBACGHEAOn the way to Kew | A |
By the river old and gray | B |
Where in the Long Ago | C |
We laughed and loitered so | C |
I met a ghost to day | B |
A ghost that told of you | A |
A ghost of low replies | D |
And sweet inscrutable eyes | D |
Coming up from Richmond | E |
As you used to do | A |
- | |
By the river old and gray | B |
The enchanted Long Ago | C |
Murmured and smiled anew | A |
On the way to Kew | A |
March had the laugh of May | B |
The bare boughs looked aglow | C |
And old immortal words | F |
Sang in my breast like birds | F |
Coming up from Richmond | E |
As I used with you | A |
- | |
With the life of Long Ago | C |
Lived my thought of you | A |
By the river old and gray | B |
Flowing his appointed way | B |
As I watched I knew | A |
What is so good to know | C |
Not in vain not in vain | G |
Shall I look for you again | H |
Coming up from Richmond | E |
On the way to Kew | A |
