Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEGHCIJIKLMGNO| In the slight ripple the fishes dart | A |
| Like fingers centrifugal like wishes | B |

| Through the lucid water The small pebble | E |
| The clear clay bottom the white shell | F |
| Are apparent though superficial | E |
| Who would ask more of the August afternoon | G |
| Who would dig mines and follow shadows | H |
| I would answers bored Heart Lounger rise | C |
| Underlip trembling face white with stony anger | I |
| The old error the thought of sitting still | J |
| The senses drinking by the summer river | I |
| On the tended lawn below the traffic | K |
| As if time would pause | L |
| and afternoon stay | M |
| No night comes soon | G |
| With its cold mountains with desolation | N |
| unless Love build its city | O |
