| And sit in the sitting room | B |
| Shall the larkspur blossom or the corn grow under this cloud | C |
| Sour to the fruitful seed | D |
| Is the cold earth under this cloud | C |
| Fostering quack and weed we have marched upon but cannot | E |
| conquer | F |
| We have bent the blades of our hoes against the stalks of them | G |
| - | |
| Let us go home and sit in the sitting room | B |
| Not in our day | H |
| Shall the cloud go over and the sun rise as before | I |
| Beneficent upon us | J |
| Out of the glittering bay | H |
| And the warm winds be blown inward from the sea | K |
| Moving the blades of corn | L |
| With a peaceful sound | M |
| - | |
| Forlorn forlorn | L |
| Stands the blue hay rack by the empty mow | N |
| And the petals drop to the ground | M |
| Leaving the tree unfruited | M |
| The sun that warmed our stooping backs and withered the weed | M |
| uprooted mdash | O |
| We shall not feel it again | P |
| We shall die in darkness and be buried in the rain | Q |
| - | |
| What from the splendid dead | M |
| We have inherited mdash | O |
| Furrows sweet to the grain and the weed subdued mdash | O |
| See now the slug and the mildew plunder | F |
| Evil does overwhelm | R |
| The larkspur and the corn | L |
| We have seen them go under | F |
| - | |
| Let us sit here sit still | S |
| Here in the sitting room until we die | M |
| At the step of Death on the walk rise and go | N |
| Leaving to our children's children the beautiful doorway | H |
| And this elm | R |
| And a blighted earth to till | S |
| With a broken hoe | N |
