Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDECD FFGHHG| And thou wert once a maiden fair | A |
| A blushing virgin warm and young | B |
| With myrtles wreathed in golden hair | A |
| And glossy brow that knew no care | A |
| Upon a bridegroom's arm you hung | B |
| - | |
| The golden locks are silvered now | C |
| The blushing cheek is pale and wan | D |

| A moment and thou sink'st to rest | F |
| To wake perhaps an angel blest | F |
| In the bright presence of thy Lord | G |
| Oh weary is life's path to all | H |
| Hard is the strife and light the fall | H |
| But wondrous the reward | G |
