Rhyme Scheme: ABABC DEDEC FAFAC AGAHHC IJIJC KLKLLC MNMNCC| A woman had I seen as I rode by | A |
| Stacking her turf and chanting an old song | B |
| But now her voice came to me like a cry | A |
| Wailing an old immeasurable wrong | B |
| Riding the road thro' Bogac B aacute n | C |
| - | |
| Like a grey ribbon over the dark world | D |
| Lying along the bog that rose each side | E |
| The white road strayed upon the earth and curled | D |
| Staying its journey where the hills abide | E |
| Riding the road thro' Bogac B aacute n | C |
| - | |
| It was not that the Night had laid her cloak | F |
| About the valley going thro' the sky | A |
| And yet a dimness like a distant smoke | F |
| Had fallen on the Earth as I rode by | A |
| Riding the road thro' Bogac B aacute n | C |
| - | |
| Sweeping the sides of the mountains gaunt and high | A |
| Floating about their faces in the pool | G |
| A shadowy presence with a rustling sigh | A |
| Crept thro' the valley till the valley was full | H |
| My horse's hoofs fell softy as on wool | H |
| Riding the road thro' Bogac B aacute n | C |
| - | |
| In musical measures like an echo dim | I |
| The hoisting held its secret path unseen | J |
| Slaibh M oacute r looked down on M aacute m and M aacute m to him | I |
| Looked up with Loch nan Ean between | J |
| Riding the road thro' Bogac B aacute n | C |
| - | |
| A new world and a new scene mixed its power | K |
| With the old world and the old scene of Earth's face | L |
| A doorway had been folded back an hour | K |
| And silver lights fell with a secret grace | L |
| Where I endeavoured the white path to trace | L |
| Riding the road thro' Bogac B aacute n | C |
| - | |
| Within my mind a sudden joy had birth | M |
| For I had found an infinite company there | N |
| The hosting of the companies of the earth | M |
| The hosting of the companies of the air | N |
| Treading the road thro' Bogac B aacute n | C |
| The white strange road thro' Bogac B aacute n | C |
