Rhyme Scheme: ABCABC DEFDEF GHIJHI KLEKLE MANMA| Why throstle do you sing | A |
| In this November haze | B |
| Singing for what for whom | C |
| Deem you that it is Spring | A |
| Or that your lonely lays | B |
| Will stave off Winter's gloom | C |

| That is the reason why | D |
| Though menaced by the snow | E |
| Even now I am not dumb | F |

| And fewer still that feel | H |
| The meaning of my song | I |
| Until the note be clear | J |
| Re echoed be the peal | H |
| Early and late and long | I |
| - | |
| But you have heard and owned | K |
| The sound of my refrain | L |
| Yet tentative and low | E |
| Thus poet be intoned | K |
| Your own foreshadowing strain | L |
| Trusting that some will know | E |
| - | |
| That some will know and say | M |
| When greetings of the Spring | A |
| Wake Winter from its bed | N |
| This is the self same lay | M |
| We overheard him sing | A |
| When dead hearts deemed him dead '' | - |
