Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFGFGHIHIJJKKLL MMNNFFOOPNPQNRSSTUCC PPEVWV| Dim vales and shadowy floods | A |
| And cloudy looking woods | B |
| Whose forms we can't discover | C |
| For the tears that drip all over | C |
| Huge moons there wax and wane | D |
| Again again again | E |
| Every moment of the night | F |
| Forever changing places | G |
| And they put out the star light | F |
| With the breath from their pale faces | G |
| About twelve by the moon dial | H |
| One more filmy than the rest | I |
| A kind which upon trial | H |
| They have found to be the best | I |
| Comes down still down and down | J |
| With its centre on the crown | J |
| Of a mountain's eminence | K |
| While its wide circumference | K |
| In easy drapery falls | L |
| Over hamlets over halls | L |
| Wherever they may be | M |
| O'er the strange woods o'er the sea | M |
| Over spirits on the wing | N |
| Over every drowsy thing | N |
| And buries them up quite | F |
| In a labyrinth of light | F |
| And then how deep O deep | O |
| Is the passion of their sleep | O |
| In the morning they arise | P |
| And their moony covering | N |
| Is soaring in the skies | P |
| With the tempests as they toss | Q |
| Like almost anything | N |
| Or a yellow Albatross | R |
| They use that moon no more | S |
| For the same end as before | S |
| Videlicet a tent | T |
| Which I think extravagant | U |
| Its atomies however | C |
| Into a shower dissever | C |
| Of which those butterflies | P |
