| To the dahlias across the garden | A |
| And the wastes of the golden rod | B |
| - | |
| They never pray for pardon | A |
| Nor ask his way nor forego | C |
| Nor close their hearts nor harden | A |
| Nor stay his hand nor bestow | C |
| - | |
| Their hearts filched out of their bosoms | D |
| Nor plan for dahlias to be | E |
| For the wind blows over the garden | A |
| And sets the dahlias free | E |
| - | |
| They drift to the song of the warden | A |
| Heedless they give him heed | F |
| And he walks and blows through the garden | A |
| Blossom and leaf and seed | F |
