Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHDI JKHK LMLL MM| It drizzled but not even grasses | A |
| Would bend within the bag of storm | B |
| Dust only gulped its rain in pellets | C |
| The iron roof in powder form | B |

| The village did not hope for healing | D |
| Deep as a swoon the poppies yearned | E |
| Among the rye in inflammation | F |
| And God in fever tossed and turned | E |

| In all the sleepless universal | G |
| The damp and orphaned latitude | H |
| The sighs and moans their posts deserting | D |
| Fled with the whirlwind in pursuit | I |

| Behind them ran blind slanting raindrops | J |
| Hard on their heels and by the fence | K |
| The wind and dripping branches argued | H |
| My heart stood still at my expense | K |

| I felt this dreadful garden chatter | L |
| Would last forever since the street | M |
| Would also notice me and mutter | L |
| With bushes rain and window shutter | L |
| - | |
| No way to challenge my defeat | M |
| They'd argue talk me off my feet | M |
