Rhyme Scheme: A BC DEEE F| No now I wish the sunshine would stop and the white shining houses and the gay red flowers on the balconies and the bluish mountains beyond would be crushed out between two valves of darkness the darkness falling the darkness rising with muffled sound obliterating everything | A |

| I wish that whatever props up the walls of light would fall and darkness would come hurling heavily down and it would be thick black dark for ever | B |
| Not sleep which is grey with dreams nor death which quivers with birth but heavy sealing darkness silence all immovable | C |
| - | |
| What is sleep | D |
| It goes over me like a shadow over a hill but it does not alter me nor help me | E |
| And death would ache still I am sure it would be lambent uneasy | E |
| I wish it would be completely dark everywhere inside me and out heavily dark utterly | E |
