Rhyme Scheme: ABACDE FFBBGGDDHIJJ| Sometimes a mortal feels in himself Nature | A |
| not his Father but his Mother stirs | B |
| within him and he becomes immortal with her | A |
| immortality From time to time she claims | C |
| kindredship with us and some globule | D |
| from her veins steals up into our own | E |

| I am the autumnal sun | F |
| With autumn gales my race is run | F |
| When will the hazel put forth its flowers | B |
| Or the grape ripen under my bowers | B |
| When will the harvest or the hunter's moon | G |
| Turn my midnight into mid noon | G |
| I am all sere and yellow | D |
| And to my core mellow | D |
| The mast is dropping within my woods | H |
| The winter is lurking within my moods | I |
| And the rustling of the withered leaf | J |
| Is the constant music of my grief | J |
