Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIJIK LMLM| If I could know but when and why | A |
| This piece of thoughtless dust begins | B |
| To think and straightway I am I | A |
| And these bright hopes and these brave sins | B |
| That have been freer than the air | C |
| Circle their freedom with my span | D |
| If I could know but why this care | C |
| Is mine and not the care or man | D |
| Why thus unwilling I rejoice | E |
| And will the good I do not do | F |

| A white ship with a bending sail | H |
| Rudderless and without a goal | G |
| Fly seaward humble to the gale | H |
| Why knowing not from whence I came | I |
| Nor why I seek I know not what | J |
| I bear this heavy separate name | I |
| While winds and waters bear it not | K |
| And why the unlimited earth delights | L |
| In life not knowing breath from breath | M |
| While I that count my days and nights | L |
| Fear thought in life and life in death | M |
