| Old Yew which graspest at the stones | B |
| That name the under lying dead | C |
| Thy fibres net the dreamless head | C |
| Thy roots are wrapt about the bones | B |
| The seasons bring the flower again | D |
| And bring the firstling to the flock | E |
| And in the dusk of thee the clock | E |
| Beats out the little lives of men | D |
| O not for thee the glow the bloom | F |
| Who changest not in any gale | G |
| Nor branding summer suns avail | G |
| To touch thy thousand years of gloom | F |
| - | |
| And gazing on thee sullen tree | H |
| Sick for thy stubborn hardihood | C |
| I seem to fail from out my blood | C |
| And grow incorporate into thee | H |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
