Rhyme Scheme: A BCBC DEDE FGFG HIJI| A | |
| - | |
| Through the green boughs I hardly saw thy face | B |
| They twined so close the sun was in mine eyes | C |
| And now the sullen trees in sombre lace | B |
| Stand bare beneath the sinister sad skies | C |
| - | |
| O sun and summer Say in what far night | D |
| The gold and green the glory of thine head | E |
| Of bough and branch have fallen Oh the white | D |
| Gaunt ghosts that flutter where thy feet have sped | E |
| - | |
| Across the terrace that is desolate | F |
| And rang then with thy laughter ghost of thee | G |
| That holds its shroud up with most delicate | F |
| Dead fingers and behind the ghost of me | G |
| - | |
| Tripping fantastic with a mouth that jeers | H |
| At roseal flowers of youth the turbid streams | I |
| Toss in derision down the barren years | J |
| To death the host of all our golden dreams | I |
