Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCCB DDDEBBBE FFFDBBBD CCCFFFFF DDDBFFFB CCCGEEEG| The year lies fallen and faded | A |
| On cliffs by clouds invaded | A |
| With tongues of storms upbraided | B |
| With wrath of waves bedinned | B |
| And inland wild with warning | C |
| As in deaf ears or scorning | C |
| The clarion even and morning | C |
| Rings of the south west wind | B |
| - | |
| The wild bents wane and wither | D |
| In blasts whose breath bows hither | D |
| Their grey grown heads and thither | D |
| Unblest of rain or sun | E |
| The pale fierce heavens are crowded | B |
| With shapes like dreams beclouded | B |
| As though the old year enshrouded | B |
| Lay long ere life were done | E |
| - | |
| Full charged with oldworld wonders | F |
| From dusk Tintagel thunders | F |
| A note that smites and sunders | F |
| The hard frore fields of air | D |
| A trumpet stormier sounded | B |
| Than once from lists rebounded | B |
| When strong men sense confounded | B |
| Fell thick in tourney there | D |
| - | |
| From scarce a duskier dwelling | C |
| Such notes of wail rose welling | C |
| Through the outer darkness telling | C |
| In the awful singer's ears | F |
| What souls the darkness covers | F |
| What love lost souls of lovers | F |
| Whose cry still hangs and hovers | F |
| In each man's born that hears | F |
| - | |
| For there by Hector's brother | D |
| And yet some thousand other | D |
| He that had grief to mother | D |
| Passed pale from Dante's sight | B |
| With one fast linked as fearless | F |
| Perchance there only tearless | F |
| Iseult and Tristram peerless | F |
| And perfect queen and knight | B |
| - | |
| A shrill winged sound comes flying | C |
| North as of wild souls crying | C |
| The cry of things undying | C |
| That know what life must be | G |
| Or as the old year's heart stricken | E |
| Too sore for hope to quicken | E |
| By thoughts like thorns that thicken | E |
| Broke breaking with the sea | G |
