Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDC EEFGF HHIJKKLL MNIJN| One from his high bright window in a tower | A |
| Leans out as evening falls | B |
| And sees the advancing curtain of the shower | A |
| Splashing its silver on roofs and walls | B |
| Sees how swift as a shadow it crosses the city | C |
| And murmurs beyond far walls to the sea | C |
| Leaving a glimmer of water in the dark canyons | D |
| And silver falling from eave and tree | C |
| - | |
| One from his high bright window looking down | E |
| Peers like a dreamer over the rain bright town | E |
| And thinks its towers are like a dream | F |
| The western windows flame in the sun's last flare | G |
| Pale roofs begin to gleam | F |
| - | |
| Looking down from a window high in a wall | H |
| He sees us all | H |
| Lifting our pallid faces towards the rain | I |
| Searching the sky and going our ways again | J |
| Standing in doorways waiting under the trees | K |
| There in the high bright window he dreams and sees | K |
| What we are blind to we who mass and crowd | L |
| From wall to wall in the darkening of a cloud | L |
| - | |
| The gulls drift slowly above the city of towers | M |
| Over the roofs to the darkening sea they fly | N |
| Night falls swiftly on an evening of rain | I |
| The yellow lamps wink one by one again | J |
| The towers reach higher and blacker against the sky | N |
