Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKJ BLML MGHG GNMN MONP BQBR SMRM NSTS HUNU| Dismal day with the weather inclement | A |
| Inconsolably rivulets run | B |
| Down the porch in front of the doorway | C |
| Through my wide open windows they come | D |
| - | |
| But behind the old fence on the roadside | E |
| See the public gardens are flooded | F |
| Like wild beasts in a den the rainclouds | G |
| Sprawl about in shaggy disorder | H |
| - | |
| In such weather I dream of a volume | I |
| On the beauties of Earth in our age | J |
| And I draw an imp of the forest | K |
| Just for you on the title page | J |
| - | |
| Oh Marina I'd find it no burden | B |
| And the time has been long overdue | L |
| Your sad clay should be brought from Yelabuga | M |
| By a requiem written for you | L |
| - | |
| All the triumph of your homecoming | M |
| I considered last year in a place | G |
| Near a snow covered bend in the river | H |
| Where boats winter locked in the ice | G |
| - | |
| What can I do to be of service | G |
| Convey somehow your own request | N |
| For in the silence of your going | M |
| There's a reproach left unexpressed | N |
| - | |
| A loss is always enigmatic | M |
| I hunt for clues to no avail | O |
| And rack my brains in fruitless torment | N |
| Death has no lineaments at all | P |
| - | |
| Words left half spoken self deception | B |
| Promises shadows all are vain | Q |
| And only faith in resurrection | B |
| Can give the semblance of a sign | R |
| - | |
| Step out into the open country | S |
| Winter's a sumptuous funeral wake | M |
| Add currants to the dusk then wine | R |
| And there you have your funeral cake | M |
| - | |
| The apple tree stands in a snowdrift | N |
| Outside All this year long to me | S |
| The snow clad city's been a massive | T |
| Monument to your memory | S |
| - | |
| With your face turned to meet your Maker | H |
| You yearn for Him from here on Earth | U |
| As in the days when those upon it | N |
| Were yet to appreciate your worth | U |
