Rhyme Scheme: ABACA DEFGH IJKLM NOPJQ RS| The force that through the green fuse drives the flower | A |
| Drives my green age that blasts the roots of trees | B |
| Is my destroyer | A |
| And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose | C |
| My youth is bent by the same wintry fever | A |
| - | |
| The force that drives the water through the rocks | D |
| Drives my red blood that dries the mouthing streams | E |
| Turns mine to wax | F |
| And I am dumb to mouth unto my veins | G |
| How at the mountain spring the same mouth sucks | H |
| - | |
| The hand that whirls the water in the pool | I |
| Stirs the quicksand that ropes the blowing wind | J |
| Hauls my shroud sail | K |
| And I am dumb to tell the hanging man | L |
| How of my clay is made the hangman's lime | M |
| - | |
| The lips of time leech to the fountain head | N |
| Love drips and gathers but the fallen blood | O |
| Shall calm her sores | P |
| And I am dumb to tell a weather's wind | J |
| How time has ticked a heaven round the stars | Q |
| - | |
| And I am dumb to tell the lover's tomb | R |
| How at my sheet goes the same crooked worm | S |
