Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCCB DDDEFGFE HHHIJJJI KKKHLLLH| There is a flutter in the trees | A |
| And now a sudden dread unease | A |
| Stills all the bushland melodies | A |
| Amid the gums | B |
| Stills now the song of wren and thrush | C |
| Robin and honeyeater hush | C |
| Now with a swoop a whistling rush | C |
| Grey goshawk comes | B |

| I am the threat the dread king | D |
| Grim Azrael is on the wing | D |
| And every little living thing | D |
| Dares scarce a breath | E |
| And now a parrot shrill with fear | F |
| Flies dodging there and doubling here | G |
| Thro' inlaced limbs in mad career | F |
| From lusting death | E |
| - | |
| Grey ghost grey death I work my will | H |
| O'er forest dense o'er wood hill | H |
| And on some tree top rend my kill | H |
| With reddened beak | I |
| There is no have in the tree | J |
| There is no habor safe from me | J |
| In many a singing sanctuary | J |
| My meat I seek | I |
| - | |
| Beware The swift grey ghost is out | K |
| Be still Grey death lurks near about | K |
| Crouch close Shrink low But have no doubt | K |
| I've marked my kill | H |
| Grim nemesis I never fail | L |
| Gaint hunger is my spur my flail | L |
| I feast And now away I sail | L |
| O'er the far hill | H |
