Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIJ KLML NOLO PQMR| I listen to the stillness of you | A |
| My dear among it all | B |

| A train goes roaring south | K |
| The steam flag flying | L |
| I see the stealthy shadow of silence | M |
| Alongside going | L |

| And off the forge of the world | N |
| Whirling in the draught of life | O |
| Go sparks of myriad people filling | L |
| The night with strife | O |

| Yet they never change the darkness | P |
| Or blench it with noise | Q |
| Alone on the perfect silence | M |
| The stars are buoys | R |
