Rhyme Scheme: ABACCBBC DEDFFE| Not in this chamber only at my birth mdash | A |
| When the long hours of that mysterious night | B |
| Were over and the morning was in sight mdash | A |
| I cried but in strange places steppe and firth | C |
| I have not seen through alien grief and mirth | C |
| And never shall one room contain me quite | B |
| Who in so many rooms first saw the light | B |
| Child of all mothers native of the earth | C |
| - | |
| So is no warmth for me at any fire | D |
| To day when the world's fire has burned so low | E |
| I kneel spending my breath in vain desire | D |
| At that cold hearth which one time roared so strong | F |
| And straighten back in weariness and long | F |
| To gather up my little gods and go | E |
