Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHCH ICJC| Yes I remember Adlestrop | A |
| The name because one afternoon | B |
| Of heat the express train drew up there | C |
| Unwontedly It was late June | B |
| - | |
| The steam hissed Someone cleared his throat | D |
| No one left and no one came | E |
| On the bare platform What I saw | F |
| Was Adlestrop only the name | E |
| - | |
| And willows willow herb and grass | G |
| And meadowsweet and haycocks dry | H |
| No whit less still and lonely fair | C |
| Than the high cloudlets in the sky | H |
| - | |
| And for that minute a blackbird sang | I |
| Close by and round him mistier | C |
| Farther and farther all the birds | J |
| Of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire | C |
