Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLK MNON| Far from the empire of my present days | A |
| Where I perforce remain | B |
| The wild fresh airs of Spring blow to and fro | C |
| Piping out Winter's reign | B |

| I know the rosy wind flowers spread like clouds | D |
| Above the leafy mould | E |
| And pollard willows over shallow pools | F |
| Stretch out their rods of gold | E |

| I hear the waters in the mossy swamps | G |
| Start on their ocean quest | H |

| Till reaching final rest | H |
