Rhyme Scheme: ABBCA CDDEC FGGHI JKKLJ MNLO PQQRS| Shepherd to yon tall poplars tune your flute | A |
| Let them pierce keenly subtly shrill | B |
| The slow blue rumour of the hill | B |
| Let the grass cry with an anguish of evening gold | C |
| And the great sky be mute | A |
| - | |
| Then hearken how the poplar trees unfold | C |
| Their buds yet close and gummed and blind | D |
| In airy leafage of the mind | D |
| Rustling in silvery whispers the twin hued scales | E |
| That fade not nor grow old | C |
| - | |
| 'Poplars and fountains and you cypress spires | F |
| Springing in dark and rusty flame | G |
| Seek you aught that hath a name | G |
| Or say say Are you all an upward agony | H |
| Of undefined desires | I |
| - | |
| 'Say are you happy in the golden march | J |
| Of sunlight all across the day | K |
| Or do you watch the uncertain way | K |
| That leads the withering moon on cloudy stairs | L |
| Over the heaven's wide arch | J |
| - | |
| 'Is it towards sorrow or towards joy you lift | M |
| The sharpness of your trembling spears | N |
| Or do you seek through the grey tears | L |
| That blur the sky in the heart of the triumphing blue | O |
| A deeper calmer rift ' | - |
| - | |
| So I have tuned my music to the trees | P |
| And there were voices dim below | Q |
| Their shrillness voices swelling slow | Q |
| In the blue murmur of hills and a golden cry | R |
| And then vast silences | S |
