Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDDEEDDAAFFGGDDH HDDAAB| Jane Jane | A |
| Tall as a crane | A |
| The morning light creaks down again | B |
| Comb your cockscomb ragged hair | C |
| Jane Jane come down the stair | C |
| Each dull blunt wooden stalactite | D |
| Of rain creaks hardened by the light | D |
| Sounding like an overtone | E |
| From some lonely world unknown | E |
| But the creaking empty light | D |
| Will never harden into sight | D |
| Will never penetrate your brain | A |
| With overtones like the blunt rain | A |

| Eternities of kitchen garden | F |
| Cockscomb flowers that none will pluck | G |
| And wooden flowers that 'gin to cluck | G |
| In the kitchen you must light | D |
| Flames as staring red and white | D |
| As carrots or as turnips shining | H |
| Where the cold dawn light lies whining | H |
| Cockscomb hair on the cold wind | D |
| Hangs limp turns the milk's weak mind | D |
| Jane Jane | A |
| Tall as a crane | A |
| The morning light creaks down again | B |
