Rhyme Scheme: ABAC CDCD EFEF AGAG| She sits on the recreation ground | A |
| Under an oak whose yellow buds dot the pale blue sky | B |
| The young grass twinkles in the wind and the sound | A |
| Of the wind in the knotted buds in a canopy | C |
| - | |
| So sitting under the knotted canopy | C |
| Of the wind she is lifted and carried away as in a balloon | D |
| Across the insensible void till she stoops to see | C |
| The sandy desert beneath her the dreary platoon | D |
| - | |
| She knows the waste all dry beneath her in one place | E |
| Stirring with earth coloured life ever turning and stirring | F |
| But never the motion has a human face | E |
| Nor sound save intermittent machinery whirring | F |
| - | |
| And so again on the recreation ground | A |
| She alights a stranger wondering unused to the scene | G |
| Suffering at sight of the children playing around | A |
| Hurt at the chalk coloured tulips and the evening green | G |
