Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDECEDFGGHIIHH JHJJ| I SAID This misery must end | A |
| Shall I that am a man and know | B |
| that sky and wind are yet my friend | A |
| sit huddled under any blow | B |
| so speaking left the dismal room | C |
| and stept into the mother night | D |
| all fill d with sacred quickening gloom | C |
| where the few stars burn d low and bright | D |
| and darkling on my darkling hill | E |
| heard thro the beaches sullen boom | C |
| heroic note of living will | E |
| rung trumpet clear against the fight | D |
| so stood and heard and rais d my eyes | F |
| erect that they might drink of space | G |
| and took the night upon my face | G |
| till time and trouble fell away | H |
| and all my soul sprang up to feel | I |
| as one among the stars that reel | I |
| in rhyme on their rejoicing way | H |
| breaking the elder dark nor stay | H |
| but speed beyond each trammelling gyre | J |
| till time and sorrow fall away | H |
| and night be wither d up and fire | J |
| consume the sickness of desire | J |
