Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDCDEBFGHIJBG| How simple the pleasures of those childhood days | A |
| Simple but filled with exquisite satisfactions | B |
| The iridescent labyrinth of the spider | C |
| Its tethered tensor nest of polygons | B |
| Puffed by the breeze to a little bellying sail | D |
| Merely observing this gave infinite pleasure | C |
| The sound of rain The gentle graphite veil | D |
| Of rain that makes of the world a steel engraving | E |
| Full of soft fadings and faint distances | B |
| The self congratulations of a fly | F |
| Rubbing its hands The brown bicameral brain | G |
| Of a walnut The smell of wax The feel | H |
| Of sugar to the tongue a delicious sand | I |
| One understands immediately how Proust | J |
| Might cherish all such postage stamp details | B |
| Who can resist the charms of retrospection | G |
