Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EDED DDDD ADAD| As though it were reluctant to be day | A |
| Morning deploys a scale | B |
| Of rarities in gray | A |
| And winter settles down in its chain mail | B |
| - | |
| Victorious over legions of gold and red | C |
| The smokey souls of stones | D |
| Blunt pencillings of lead | C |
| Pare down the world to glintless monotones | D |
| - | |
| Of graveyard weather vapors of a fen | E |
| We reckon through our pores | D |
| Save for the garbage men | E |
| Our children are the first ones out of doors | D |

| Book bagged and padded out at mouth and nose | D |
| They manufacture ghosts | D |
| George Washington's and Poe's | D |
| Banquo's the Union and Confederate hosts' | D |
| - | |
| And are themselves the ghosts file cabinet gray | A |
| Of some departed us | D |
| Signing our lives away | A |
| On ferned and parslied windows of a bus | D |
