Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCA DEEFFD GHHIIG JKKLLM NOOPPN DQQOOD| Now overhead | A |
| Where the rivulet loiters and stops | B |
| The bittersweet hangs from the tops | B |
| Of the alders and cherries | C |
| Its bunches of beautiful berries | C |
| Orange and red | A |
| - | |
| And the snowbirds flee | D |
| Tossing up on the far brown field | E |
| Now flashing and now concealed | E |
| Like fringes of spray | F |
| That vanish and gleam on the gray | F |
| Field of the sea | D |
| - | |
| Flickering light | G |
| Come the last of the leaves down borne | H |
| And patches of pale white corn | H |
| In the wind complain | I |
| Like the slow rustle of rain | I |
| Noticed by night | G |
| - | |
| Withered and thinned | J |
| The sentinel mullein looms | K |
| With the pale gray shadowy plumes | K |
| Of the goldenrod | L |
| And the milkweed opens its pod | L |
| Tempting the wind | M |
| - | |
| Aloft on the hill | N |
| A cloudrift opens and shines | O |
| Through a break in its gorget of pines | O |
| And it dreams at my feet | P |
| In a sad silvery sheet | P |
| Utterly still | N |
| - | |
| All things that be | D |
| Seem plunged into silence distraught | Q |
| By some stern some necessitous thought | Q |
| It wraps and enthralls | O |
| Marsh meadow and forest and falls | O |
| Also on me | D |
