Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH IJKLMNOPQRCJ MGSATUVWVV| All that I owe the fellows of the grave | A |
| And all the dead bequeathed from pale estates | B |
| Lies in the fortuned bone the flask of blood | C |
| Like senna stirs along the ravaged roots | D |
| O all I owe is all the flesh inherits | E |
| My fathers' loves that pull upon my nerves | F |
| My sisters tears that sing upon my head | G |
| My brothers' blood that salts my open wounds | H |
| - | |
| Heir to the scalding veins that hold love's drop | I |
| My fallen filled that had the hint of death | J |
| Heir to the telling senses that alone | K |
| Acquaint the flesh with a remembered itch | L |
| I round this heritage as rounds the sun | M |
| His winy sky and as the candles moon | N |
| Cast light upon my weather I am heir | O |
| To women who have twisted their last smile | P |
| To children who were suckled on a plague | Q |
| To young adorers dying on a kiss | R |
| All such disease I doctor in my blood | C |
| And all such love's a shrub sown in the breath | J |
| - | |
| Then look my eyes upon this bonehead fortune | M |
| And browse upon the postures of the dead | G |
| All night and day I eye the ragged globe | S |
| Through periscopes rightsighted from the grave | A |
| All night and day I wander in these same | T |
| Wax clothes that wax upon the ageing ribs | U |
| All night my fortune slumbers in its sheet | V |
| Then look my heart upon the scarlet trove | W |
| And look my grain upon the falling wheat | V |
| All night my fortune slumbers in its sheet | V |
