Rhyme Scheme: ABAAABCDECDCEFGFGHIH JKKHAL| Hark the dogs howl the sleetwinds blow | A |
| The church clocks knoll the hours haste | B |
| I leave the dreaming world below | A |
| Blown o'er frore heads of hills I go | A |
| Long narrowing friths and stripes of snow | A |
| Time bears my soul into the waste | B |
| I seek the voice I loved ah where | C |
| Is that dear hand that I should press | D |
| Those honoured brows that I would kiss | E |
| Lo the broad Heavens cold and bare | C |
| The stars that know not my distress | D |
| My sighs are wasted in the air | C |
| My tears are dropped into the abyss | E |
| Now riseth up a little cloud | F |
| Divideth like a broken wave | G |
| Shows Death a drooping youth pale browed | F |
| And crowned with daisies of the grave | G |
| The vapour labours up the sky | H |
| Uncertain forms are darkly moved | I |
| Larger than human passes by | H |
| The shadow of the man I loved | J |
| I wind my arms for one embrace | K |
| Can this be he is that his face | K |
| In my strait throat expires the cry | H |
| He bends his eyes reproachfully | A |
| And clasps his hands as one that prays | L |
