Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDEFGDHIJK LMNOPQRBSTUVWJJ XIYZZCA2B2C2D2D2| All morning high up on the eaves | A |
| Above your window | B |
| A dove kept cooing | C |
| Like shirtsleeves The boughs seemed frayed | D |
| It drizzled Clouds came low to raid | D |
| The dusty marketplace | E |
| My anguish on a peddlar's tray | F |
| They rocked | G |
| I was afraid | D |
| I begged the clouds that they should stop | H |
| It seemed that they could hear me | I |
| Dawn was as grey as in the shrub | J |
| Grey prisoners' angry murmur | K |
| - | |
| I pleaded with them to bring near | L |
| The hour when I would hear | M |
| Tidbits of shattered songs | N |
| And your wash basin's roar and splash | O |
| Like mountain torrents' headlong rush | P |
| The heat of cheek and brow | Q |
| On glass as hot as ice and on | R |
| The pier glass table flow | B |
| My plea could not be heard on high | S |
| Because the clouds | T |
| Talked much too loud | U |
| Behind their flag in powdered quiet | V |
| Wet like a heavy army coat | W |
| Like threshed sheaves' dusty rub a dub | J |
| Or like a quarrel in the shrub | J |
| - | |
| I pleaded with them | X |
| Don't torment me | I |
| I can't sleep | Y |
| But it was drizzling dragging feet | Z |
| The clouds marched down the dusty street | Z |
| Like recruits from the village in the morning | C |
| They dragged themselves along | A2 |
| An hour or an age | B2 |
| Like prisoners of war | C2 |
| Or like the dying wheeze | D2 |
| 'Nurse please | D2 |
| Some water ' | - |
