Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| Westward on the high hilled plains | A |
| Where for me the world began | B |
| Still I think in newer veins | A |
| Frets the changeless blood of man | B |
| - | |
| Now that other lads than I | C |
| Strip to bathe on Severn shore | D |
| They no help for all they try | C |
| Tread the mill I trod before | D |
| - | |
| There when hueless is the west | E |
| And the darkness hushes wide | F |
| Where the lad lies down to rest | E |
| Stands the troubled dream beside | F |
| - | |
| There on thoughts that once were mine | G |
| Day looks down the eastern steep | H |
| And the youth at morning shine | G |
| Makes the vow he will not keep | H |
