Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFG HIHJCCKK| Blood red the lily and the questing horn | A |
| Shrivelling in silence | B |
| Crumbling the archway tumbled stone | C |
| Trembling at violence | B |
| Of rain and frosty ruin and the crushing heel | D |
| No tenderness | E |
| No knowledge of that soul | F |
| Which cries in every stone how hewn how shaped | G |
| - | |
| We quarried you and gave you for a name | H |
| His title whom you shielded from the wolf | I |
| Who left you standing naked when his shame | H |
| Gave him grave's armour left him safe | J |
| With you to take the punishment sad stone | C |
| How living among men how dead alone | C |
| You suffer I could find my part to weep | K |
| But hush I think this dying stone's asleep | K |
