Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE FFBBGGHIJJKK| Bring in this timeless grave to throw | A |
| No cypress sombre on the snow | A |
| Snap not from the bitter yew | B |
| His leaves that live December through | B |
| Break no rosemary bright with rime | C |
| And sparkling to the cruel clime | C |
| Nor plod the winter land to look | D |
| For willows in the icy brook | D |
| To cast them leafless round him bring | E |
| No spray that ever buds in spring | E |
| - | |
| But if the Christmas field has kept | F |
| Awns the last gleaner overstept | F |
| Or shrivelled flax whose flower is blue | B |
| A single season never two | B |
| Or if one haulm whose year is o'er | G |
| Shivers on the upland frore | G |
| Oh bring from hill and stream and plain | H |
| Whatever will not flower again | I |
| To give him comfort he and those | J |
| Shall bide eternal bedfellows | J |
| Where low upon the couch he lies | K |
| Whence he never shall arise | K |
