| Not of all my eyes see wandering on the world | B |
| Is anything a milk to the mind so so sighs deep | C |
| Poetry to it as a tree whose boughs break in the sky | D |
| Say it is ashboughs whether on a December day and furled | B |
| Fast r they in clammyish lashtender combs creep | C |
| Apart wide and new nestle at heaven most high | D |
| They touch heaven tabour on it how their talons sweep | C |
| The smouldering enormous winter welkin May | E |
| Mells blue and snowwhite through them a fringe and fray | E |
| Of greenery it is old earth's groping towards the steep | C |
| Heaven whom she childs us by | D |

| They touch they tabour on it hover on it here there hurled | B |
| With talons sweep | C |
| The smouldering enormous winter welkin Eye | D |
| But more cheer is when May | E |
| Mells blue with snowwhite through their fringe and fray | E |
| Of greenery and old earth gropes for grasps at steep | C |
| Heaven with it whom she childs things by | D |
