Rhyme Scheme: ABACDDCCEFEFGGHFIFIF JJKF| No more with overflowing light | A |
| Shall fill the eyes that now are faded | B |
| Nor shall another's fringe with night | A |
| Their woman hidden world as they did | C |
| No more shall quiver down the days | D |
| The flowing wonder of her ways | D |
| Whereof no language may requite | C |
| The shifting and the many shaded | C |
| The grace divine definitive | E |
| Clings only as a faint forestalling | F |

| Have gone where Saturn keeps the years | G |
| The breast where roses could not live | H |
| Has done with rising and with falling | F |
| The beauty shattered by the laws | I |
| That have creation in their keeping | F |
| No longer trembles at applause | I |
| Or over children that are sleeping | F |
| And we who delve in beauty's lore | J |
| Know all that we have known before | J |
| Of what inexorable cause | K |
| Makes Time so vicious in his reaping | F |
