Rhyme Scheme: ABCB ADAD EFGF HCIC JKLK MNON PQRS| The trees in trouble because of autumn | A |
| And scarlet berries falling from the bush | B |
| And all the myriad houseless seeds | C |
| Loosing hold in the wind's insistent push | B |
| - | |
| Moan softly with autumnal parturition | A |
| Poor obscure fruits extruded out of light | D |
| Into the world of shadow carried down | A |
| Between the bitter knees of the after night | D |
| - | |
| Bushed in an uncouth ardour coiled at core | E |
| With a knot of life that only bliss can unravel | F |
| Fall all the fruits most bitterly into earth | G |
| Bitterly into corrosion bitterly travel | F |
| - | |
| What is it internecine that is locked | H |
| By very fierceness into a quiescence | C |
| Within the rage We shall not know till it burst | I |
| Out of corrosion into new florescence | C |
| - | |
| Nay but how tortured is the frightful seed | J |
| The spark intense within it all without | K |
| Mordant corrosion gnashing and champing hard | L |
| For ruin on the naked small redoubt | K |
| - | |
| Bitter to fold the issue and make no sally | M |
| To have the mystery but not go forth | N |
| To bear but retaliate nothing given to save | O |
| The spark in storms of corrosion as seeds from the north | N |
| - | |
| The sharper more horrid the pressure the harder the heart | P |
| That saves the blue grain of eternal fire | Q |
| Within its quick committed to hold and wait | R |
| And suffer unheeding only forbidden to expire | S |
