Rhyme Scheme: ABCD AEAFG AHHH AIJHKHELM| It is not Spring not yet | A |

| Lifting a filmy red mantle of knotted buds | C |
| Above the rain washed whiteness of her arms | D |
| - | |
| It is not Spring not yet | A |
| But at Hoosick Falls I saw a robin strutting | E |
| Thin still and fidgety | A |
| Not like the puffed complacent ball of feathers | F |
| That dawdles over the cidery Autumn loam | G |
| - | |
| It is not Spring not yet | A |
| But up the stocky Pownal hills | H |
| Some springy shrub a scarlet gash on the grayness | H |
| Climbs flaming over the melting snows | H |
| - | |
| It is not Spring not yet | A |
| But at Williamstown the willows are young and golden | I |
| Their tall tips flinging the sun's rays back at him | J |
| And as the sun drags over the Berkshire crests | H |
| The willows glow the scarlet bushes burn | K |
| The high hill birches shine like purple plumes | H |
| A royal headdress for the brow of Spring | E |
| It is the doubtful unquiet end of Winter | L |
| And Spring is pulsing out of the wakening soil | M |
