Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIHI| THE long small room that showed willows in the west | A |
| Narrowed up to the end the fireplace filled | B |
| Although not wide I liked it No one guessed | A |
| What need or accident made them so build | B |

| Only the moon the mouse and the sparrow peeped | C |
| In from the ivy round the casement thick | D |
| Of all they saw and heard there they shall keep | E |
| The tale for the old ivy and older brick | D |

| When I look back I am like moon sparrow and mouse | F |
| That witnessed what they could never understand | G |
| Or alter or prevent in the dark house | F |
| One thing remains the same this is my right hand | G |
| - | |
| Crawling crab like over the clean white page | H |
| Resting awhile each morning on the pillow | I |
| Then once more starting to crawl on towards age | H |
| The hundred last leaves stream upon the willow | I |
